Design Your Own Mix And Match Monster
"Who doesn't love crochet monsters? This pattern allows you or you child to design your own unique crochet monster. The free pattern has detailed step by step instructions for various monster components (body, horns, spikes, arms, and different kinds of eyes and mouths) that you can put together in your own unique design. We also have a Monster Design Worksheet to help you design. Your child (or you!) can use it to cut out the shapes of the various body parts and glue them on the worksheet, giving you a 2D version of their vision that you can then crochet and easily put together. Usually, crocheting children's drawings can be daunting and time-consuming because it requires designing various shapes from scratch. This pattern allows you to do that in such quick and easy way, that it's even suitable for beginners! The monster body is about 6 inches tall using DK yarn and a 2.75 mm hook but will vary based on your own yarn, hook and gauge. We hope you enjoy making your own crochet monsters as much as we did!"
