Truffle the Triceratops

🦖🍫 Meet Truffle – African Flower Triceratops Chocolate Holder Crochet Pattern

Meet Truffle the Triceratops, a colourful prehistoric character with a particularly important job — guarding the chocolate!

Created using beautiful African Flower motifs, Truffle combines the distinctive shape of a Triceratops with colourful crochet construction and a clever chocolate-holding design. He's a fun and unusual way to turn a favourite chocolate treat into a memorable handmade gift.

The African Flower motifs give you endless possibilities for experimenting with colour. Create Truffle in natural dinosaur-inspired shades, go bright and rainbow-coloured, coordinate him with the recipient's favourite colours, or raid your yarn stash and see what combinations appear.

Add the chocolate and Truffle becomes a wonderfully quirky gift presentation that's perfect for dinosaur lovers, chocolate fans and anyone who appreciates something a little different.

And once the chocolate has mysteriously disappeared, Truffle can stay behind as a colourful crochet dinosaur — ready to guard the next treat!
