This pattern is best for advanced beginners. You’ll need to know the basic C2C block and be comfortable with color changes.

What size is the finished crochet dinosaur blanket?

The finished blanket measures about 45" x 67" (114 x 170 cm).

What is the gauge for this C2C dinosaur blanket pattern?

Gauge: 8 C2C blocks (ch 3 + 3 dc) = 4 inches (10 cm).

No. Any worsted weight (#4) yarn will work. Using the same yarn brand for all colors helps keep the blanket thickness consistent.

Yes. You can change the size by using a different yarn weight or hook size, or by adjusting your tension. The finished blanket size will change too.

Count your blocks each row, place a stitch marker in the first and last block, and keep your chain-3 spaces consistent so your increases and decreases stay even.

What is corner-to-corner crochet (C2C)?

Corner-to-corner crochet (also called C2C) is a technique where you crochet diagonally instead of in rows. The project is built using small blocks made of chains and double crochet stitches, starting in one corner and growing row by row until you reach the widest point, then decreasing to finish the opposite corner.

C2C is especially popular for crochet blankets because it works up quickly and makes color changes easy—perfect for fun designs like this dinosaur blanket made from individual C2C panels.

Mix & match C2C blanket panels

All seven of my C2C blanket patterns are designed using the same panel size and layout, which means the panels can be mixed and matched across collections to create a custom blanket.

Each blanket uses six individual C2C panels arranged in a 2 × 3 layout, and every panel is worked to the same finished size—no resizing or stitch adjustments needed.

Choose panels from one theme or mix designs across sets, then sew them together and add a border to finish your blanket.

Assembling the blanket

Sew your crochet dinosaur panels together. Make sure they are facing the correct way. You can use locking stitch markers to hold the panels together.

Adding a border

Rnd 1: Ch 2, make 1 hdc in each stitch along the crochet blanket edges. In each corner make (hdc, ch-2, hdc).

Finishing

Weave in your ends. Block if desired.

Frequently asked questions

Is this C2C crochet dinosaur blanket beginner friendly?
This pattern is best for advanced beginners. You’ll need to know basic corner-to-corner (C2C) crochet and how to change colors. A beginner-friendly C2C video tutorial is included to help you get started.

Do I have to use the same yarn colors?
No. You can use any worsted weight yarn colors you like. Changing colors is an easy way to customize the blanket for a nursery, bedroom, or gift.

Can I make a larger or smaller blanket?
Yes. Using thicker yarn and a larger hook will make a bigger blanket, while thinner yarn and a smaller hook will make a smaller one. This will change the panel size and final blanket measurements.

Do I need to follow the graph or the written instructions?
You can use either one. The pattern includes both a graph and written instructions so you can choose the format you’re most comfortable with.

Can I sell blankets made from this pattern?
Yes. You may sell finished blankets made from this pattern. Please credit Lovable Loops as the designer when possible.
