R34-37: sc in all 30 sts (4 rounds total at 30 sts each)
R38: *dec* rep 6 times, sc 18 (24 sts) (the 6 dec sts need to be centered at the top of the head. Depending on your personal tension, you may need to adjust where they are placed. That is, you may need to move them more to the left or right until they are centered correctly. Use the tail as a guide to know what the center is.)
R39: *sc 2, dec* rep 6 times (18 sts)
Stop and insert 10 mm safety eyes between R37 and R38 of the head, spaced 9 sts apart. (TIP: Insert the 1st eye. Count 8 sts from the hole where you inserted the 1st eye and insert the 2nd eye. There should be 7 visible sts between the two eyes.) Make sure that the tail is centered between the two eyes when you’re looking at him head-on before you secure the safety eyes. You may need to adjust the eye placement depending on your personal tension and where you placed the 6 dec sts from R38.
R40: *sc 1, dec* rep 6 times (12 sts)
R41: *dec* rep 6 times (6 sts)
Finish off and leave a tail. Finish stuffing the head firmly, then, using the tail we left and your tapestry needle, neatly sew the hole closed using the invisible finish technique.
Small plates (make 4 total. Make two in dark purple and two in light purple)
R1: ch 2, starting in the 2nd ch from hook, sc 4 (4 sts)

R6: *sc 2, dec* rep 3 times (9 sts)
R7: *sc 1, dec* rep 3 times (6 sts)
Finish off leaving a long tail for sewing.
Do not stuff. Instead, flatten each plate, and then sew the open end closed using the whipstitch to create a flat edge for sewing (see pic. #10). Set aside until we have made the large plate.

R1: ch 2, starting in the 2nd ch from hook, sc 4 (4 sts)

R7: *sc 3, dec* rep 3 times (12 sts)
R8: *sc 2, dec* rep 3 times (9 sts)

Finish off and leave a long tail for sewing. Do not stuff. Instead, flatten the plate, and sew the open end closed using the whipstitch to create a flat edge for sewing (see pic.).
Before sewing the legs on, place your stegosaurus on a flat surface to be sure he can stand on his own and that the legs are correctly positioned. Using your tapestry needle, sew the legs to the body using the whipstitch
When you are finished sewing each leg on, make a knot to secure the sewing and weave the remaining tail into the body to finish.
Congratulations !!!
