It rattles, squeakes and crackles – and my girls love it: the little Crochet Monster!
At a size of 16 cm it is not at all frightening, yet it offers a variety of impressions. The Crochet Monster is made of 100% cotton, all the way from the head to the shoes. The fire-red loop stitches on the hands and the belly give the Crochet Monster a playful touch. The unique feature of the Crochet Monster is its embroidered eye, which sticks out slightly from the body to have a better view over my girls playing. If you add additional play elements, such as a rattle, a squeaker and cellophane paper, it is the perfect toy for the little ones. With one eye and fire on its hands, hair and belly, the little Crochet Monster is ready to spread fun in your house. My girls literally feast on it!
You find the pattern for the Crochet Monster in the free download below. Included in the pattern is an easy how-to guide for the embroidered eye which does not require any embroidery-skills. For your own monster in your home!
