This is my interpretation of the Purple People Eater Monster from the 1958 Sheb Wooley Song.
Crochet this fun one-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people eater to dance with while singing along to the song!

I have used Yarn-Craft Acrylic yarn in Chunky (US Bulky) weight with a 6mm hook and 5mm hook for the details.

You can scale the monster up or down by using different yarn weights and hook sizes (a suitable hook size for yarn and 1 size down).

My monster measures approximately 10” tall head to foot (12” including horn) and 8” wide across the wingspan.

You will need:
Bulky yarn (approx. 100g of Purple or chosen main colour and a small amount in another colour, I have used Turquoise)
Small amount of Black and White yarn (for eye and details)
6mm and 5mm crochet hooks
Toy Stuffing (Polyester Fibrefill)
Yarn needle
Scissors
