Why You'll Love This Triceratops Noah and Poli Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it blends classic amigurumi shaping with sweet character details that bring each triceratops to life. I enjoy the tiny finishing touches like the embroidered eyelashes and crown which give the toys personality. Working through the horns, crown fans and the dress is very satisfying — you can see progress quickly and then refine expression with embroidery. I hope you feel the same joy making these little companions and customizing them for loved ones.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize these triceratops by switching yarn colors; try pastel shades for a softer baby look or bold greens and oranges for a playful version.

I also often change the yarn weight and hook size to make different sizes — thicker yarn with a larger hook makes a chunky cuddly toy while thinner yarn with a smaller hook produces a delicate mini version.

I sometimes swap safety eyes for embroidered eyes to make the toy fully washable or safer for very young children.

I like adding wire inside limbs when I want a posable toy, but be sure to use a secure wire and cover its ends safely inside the stuffing.

For the girl version, experiment with different dress trims, ribbons or tiny buttons to give a unique outfit to each doll.

Try embroidering freckles, eyebrows or different mouth shapes to change the personality dramatically — small shifts in placement make a big difference.

You can make themed versions by adding tiny props: a little hat, scarf, or a small crocheted toy that the triceratops holds.

For a modern look, use variegated yarn for the body or ombre for the crown to add subtle color changes without extra sewing.

If you want a collectible set, make a family of triceratops in graduated sizes using the same pattern with larger or smaller hooks and yarns.

I also enjoy mixing textures — combine a soft fluffy yarn for accent parts like the crown edge, while keeping the body in smooth amigurumi yarn for neat stitch definition.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the stitch counts during increases and decreases can easily throw off shaping; count stitches after each round and mark rounds with a stitch marker to stay accurate. ✗ Placing safety eyes too early or off-center will distort facial symmetry; place the eyes between rows 16 and 17 with six visible single crochets between them and test placement before securing. ✗ Overstuffing the thighs and limbs creates bulky, disproportionate parts; stuff gradually and leave the thigh flatter as directed to maintain the intended silhouette. ✗ Not sewing horns and crown in the exact recommended rows may result in uneven placement; follow the instructions to sew horns between rows 6 to 10 and crown between rows 1 to 18 for correct alignment.

Info :

Close with sl st and cut a longer thread so you can sew the head to the body. Place the eyes between rows 16 and 17 separated by 6 sc visible between them. Be careful when placing the eyes, it's important to take into account the increases on round 19 so they don't get crooked. Leave the eyes centered in the increase part of row 19. (TIP: when placing the locks, press them until the second step of the eyes, this way they will be deeper, nicer and safer).

— White of Eyes :

Round 1 :

Introduce the needle in the open part of the head (leave a piece of thread to be able to tie a few knots at the end), leave with it right in the corner of the eye,(tip: try to leave with the needle in the middle of the corner of the eye). (See picture 1)

Round 2 :

Introduce the needle right in the corner of the lower part of the eye and leave with it in the open part of the head.(See images 2 and 3)

Use the Cléa yarn in the color BLACK to do the eyelashes.(Do not use the double wire) Insert the needle into the open part of the head(leave a piece of thread so you can tie some knots at the end), go out with it right in the middle where we made the details with the Off White and Black line of the eyes.(See picture 1)

Round 2 :

Introduce the needle with a space of one stitch in the row above the middle of the black embroidery.(See picture 2).

Round 3 :

Take the thread to do the same process on the other eyes, then join the ends of the thread and tie two knots(Look at the pictures).

— Eyebrows :

Round 1 :

Use the Cléa yarn in the color BLACK to do the eyebrows (Do not use the double wire).

(See images 1 and 2)

Handle Bar :

In the first strap we made of the dress, fasten the thread in PINK to the first sc after 6 ch, make the lace stitch: 1 sl st and 2 ch until the last sc on the strap, finish off the thread. Do the same thing in the second loop, but start in the first sc at the bottom of the loop.

Info :

After embroidering the spaghetti straps, place the dress on the hippopotamus, see the best position and distance of the straps. Take off the hippopotamus dress and place the ends of the straps inside the dress, position them and leave a space between one and the other, then with a tapestry needle sew a few stitches taking the strap and the dress (this seam is used to secure the strap and it doesn't leave the place, but if you want, you can add buttons).

Assembly Instructions

  • Sew the horns between rows 6 to 10 of the head using a tapestry needle, positioning them symmetrically before securing.
  • Sew the central snout horn between rows 19 to 24 of the head, centering it between the eyes and pinning it in place before stitching.
  • Attach the crown to the head between rows 1 to 18, leaving a distance of 7 single crochets on each side of the eyes.
  • Sew the tail to the back of the body between rows 2 to 18 and stuff it before finishing the seam.
  • Position the legs on the body before fastening; place them slightly forward for a natural stance and sew securely.
  • Fold each little arm and close with 6 sc to form the hand, then sew the arms to the body with a larger length of thread.

Important Notes

  • 💡Place safety eyes between rows 16 and 17 with 6 visible single crochets between them to ensure proper facial proportions.
  • 💡Use BLO (back loop only) where indicated to create relief details and texture on limbs and feet.
  • 💡Stuff parts gradually and avoid overstuffing the thigh area to retain the intended flattened shape and balance.
  • 💡Pin all decorative parts like crown and horns in place before sewing to guarantee correct symmetry and alignment.
