10-Stitch Stegosaur Knitting Chart

Ready-to-use 10-stitch wide chart for a stegosaur motif. Chart is 10 sts wide x 15 rows high; repeat horizontally as needed. Use stranded or intarsia colorwork as preferred. For flat knitting, odd-numbered rows are RS and read right-to-left; even-numbered rows are WS and read left-to-right.

Materials

• Yarn: DK / Light Worsted, sample: 50g / 125 yd (114 m) per skein. Suggested colors: MC (stegosaur) and CC (background).
• Needles: US 6 / UK 8 (old) / 4.0 mm. Optional: US 7 / UK 7 / 4.5 mm for a slightly larger fabric.
• Gauge: about 20 sts = 4 in (10 cm) in stockinette on chosen needles.
• Notions: tapestry needle, stitch holders or scrap yarn for intarsia, bobbins for stranded, blocking tools.

How to Use

• This is a 10-stitch repeat. For a single motif, work the chart over a 10-stitch panel. For multiple dinos, repeat horizontally with no extra stitches between repeats.
• Work color changes using stranded knitting (float CC behind MC, catch floats every 3 sts), or intarsia for larger solid blocks. Twist yarns at each color change to avoid holes.
• For flat knitting: follow row reading directions. For circular knitting: read every row right-to-left.
• If using duplicate stitch instead of colorwork: knit in background color, then embroider S areas with duplicate stitch following chart squares.

Abbreviations

• MC = Main color (stegosaur)
• CC = Contrasting color (background)
• k = knit; p = purl

Notes: Adjust yarn or needle size to match gauge. Finished look depends on tension and chosen technique.
