Dinosaur MCAL ~ a free mystery crochet along

Find the final copy of "My Favorite Stegosaurus" here - https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/my-favorite-stegosaurus

 Jonathan the dinosaur was a very friendly one. In fact, he was the most friendly in his lovely group of lovely dinosaurs. Jonathan did sometimes, get lonely. He always wanted to venture out to find more dinosaurs. His dinosaur friends were upset by this, thinking that Jonathan thought they weren’t good company. Jonathan was soon left with no one. Now, with no one to stop him, Jonathan makes many new friends, and travels very often. Can you help Jonathan make more friends?
