DINO HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIGN

This was a request from my wife for her birthday party. She found a sign on Amazon that this pattern is based on. I made the dinosaur parts and letters for her in 2 shades of pink. I made the letters with the darker shade of pink. The party hat was made in 2 shades of purple. This pattern can be done in any color or combination of colors.

The design of the letters came from https://www.mooglyblog.com/the-moogly-crochet-alphabet/ with a little modification.
