Crochet Pattern - Philosoraptor

Here is my monthly free crochet pattern!

I was trying to come up with some ideas for crochet patterns, and a friend of mine suggested that I use some meme images for patterns. I gathered up a few and came up with some, the first of which was the Philosoraptor.

Here is the pattern for it:
