Week 1: Toes, Feet and Legs (Make 2)

Today’s pattern, we will be focused on the legs. You need to crochet two legs for your character. Remember, keep your stitches into the back loops only unless I tell you otherwise.

Begin with Toes – Make 3 (each foot has 3 toes)

With MC, ch 2. Round 1: Sc 6 times in 2nd ch from hook. (6)
Round 2: Sc twice in each st. (12)
Rounds 3-4: Sc in each st. (12, 2 rounds) For two of the toes, fasten off. For the third toe, do not fasten off! You will continue to work this toe to join all three together for the foot.
Begin Forming The Foot

Round 4: Sc in first 6 sts of the toe you are working on. Then, sc in 6 sts of round 4 of the second wing toe, then sc in all 12 sts in round 4 of the third toe. Sc in the remaining 6 sts on the second toe, then the final 6 sts of the first toe. (36)
Rounds 5-6: Sc in each st. (36, 2 rounds)
Round 7: Sc2tog in next st, sc in next 4 sts. Repeat from 5 times. (30)
Rounds 8-9: Sc in each st. (30, 2 rounds)
Round 10: Sc2tog, sc in next 3 sts. Repeat from 5 times. (24)
Rounds 11-12: Sc in each st. (24, 2 rounds)
Round 13: Sc2tog, sc in next 2 sts. Repeat from 5 times. (18)
Rounds 14-15: Sc in each st. (18, 2 rounds) Remove hook, but do not fasten off…
Assembly Instruction You may notice holes in between where the toes are joined. Use a scrap of MC and a tapestry needle to close up the gaps.

Stuff the foot.
Round 16: Sc2tog, sc in next st. Repeat from 5 times. (12)
Round 17: Sc2tog. Repeat from 5 times. (6)
Round 18: Sc next and 4th st together. (1) Fasten off, pulling knot to inside.
Legs – Make 2

Make 2. With MC, make a slip knot. Attach with a sc to the front loop of a stitch on round 13 of the foot (first stitch is marked with a red arrow in photo to the right.) Using the front loops of stitches on rounds 10-13, sc a total of 12 stitches in a circle shape, as pictured.
Rounds 1-17: Sc in each st. (12, 17 rounds) Fasten off with long tail.

Week 2: Nubbly Things, Hands and Arms (Make 2)

Today’s pattern, we will be focused on the special nubbly things, hands and arms. Once you have done the feet, mastering the hands are relatively easy as you know what you are doing. Let’s begin.

Round 2: Sc twice in each st. (12)
Rounds 3-6: Sc in each st. (12, 4 rounds) For three of the fingers, fasten off.
For the fourth finger, do not fasten off! You will continue to work this finger to join all three together for the hand.

Don’t fret! You’ve done this part before… it’s just like the feet! The fourth finger hasn’t been used yet. Just set him aside for a few rounds from now.

We Need To Do Assembly Before We Continue to Finish the Body.

Add the Eye

Stuff behind the eye and attach to rounds 6-15 of body/head. Attach the eye so that it forms an oval-shape (horizontally).

Attach Arms

Stuff arms. Flatten and attach to round 13 of the body/head. When attaching, note that the opening will be on the bottom of the monster.

Attach Legs

Stuff legs. Flatten and attach to round 25 of the body/head. Stuff the body/head.

Attach Horns (Nubbly things)

Stuff horns. Attach to rounds 6-9 of body/head.

Continue crocheting…

Round 29: Sc2tog, sc in next 3 sts. Repeat from 5 times. (24)
Round 30: Sc2tog, sc in next 2 sts. Repeat from 5 times. (18)
Round 31: Sc2tog, sc in next st. Repeat from 5 times. (12)
Round 32: Sc2tog. Repeat from 5 times. (6)
Round 33: Sc next and 4th st together. (1) Fasten off, pulling tail to center.

Add an Eye Pupil

Using blue felt, cut a circle approximately 1.25” in diameter. Using black felt, cut a circle about .5” in diameter. Using craft glue, glue the black circle to the center of the blue circle. Then, glue that piece to the center of the crocheted eye.
Add a Mouth

Using black felt, cut a smile shape about the 3” wide. This is your time to have fun! Using white felt, cut out teeth shapes. Be creative! I even added a small bit of grey felt to be Mike’s retainer! Glue mouth onto your monster.
Congrats! You now have an adorable monster!
