Assembling:
Sew the sail on dinosaur's back, starting at round 20 (to approx. round 47).
Attach the legs on both sides of the body approx. between rounds 23 & 24 and 42 & 43. If you want the legs to be movable, make sure that the yarn end is pulled out on the side of the leg, 1–2 rounds below the opening. Next, insert the needle in the body and through to the other side. Be careful to go between the stitches rather than through them. Take the other limb and run the needle through it. Then, insert the needle into the body exactly in the same place where it came from. Repeat with the yarn end from the other leg.
