This big mouthed monster friend can be made as-is or with pieces from my add-on packs! This pattern also includes the bag modification so that you can turn your monster into a purse or drawstring bag (great for dice bags), or add a mouth pocket to a stuffed monster. They can be made with any size yarn so you can make big giant monsters down to teeny tiny derpy friends! Please note: The Woodland Monster Bundle includes this pattern so you DO NOT need to purchase this pattern if you bought the bundle.

Written in US terms. This pattern is completely no-sew (unless you sew on a bag strap). The arms, mouth, teeth, and eyes are all worked in as you crochet and then head is closed with a flat sl st seam (instructions included in pattern). This pattern is fully tested and there are lots of pictures and detailed instructions to help you make your monster buddy!

Supplies needed:
-Yarn in main color for body and arms. Super bulky plush takes 97yds for body and arms but different yarn sizes will vary.
-Yarn in accent colors for mouth and eyes (same size yarn)
-Yarn one size down for teeth (or any size you like for bigger/smaller teeth!)
-Hook size compatible with your yarn. I personally use 2.5mm with fine weight yarn, 3.5mm with medium, 4.5mm-5mm with bulky, and 6.5mm-7mm for super bulky.
-Safety eyes
-Fiberfill stuffing
-Tapestry needle
-Stitch markers

Here are a few examples of sizing (arm to arm and head to foot) based on different yarn sizes used:
-Bernat Blanket (super bulky plush), 7mm hook = 10” wide/tall
-Loops & Threads Charisma (bulky), 5mm hook = 7” wide/tall

I ONLY sell patterns on Etsy and Ravelry. If you see any of my patterns anywhere else then they are stolen. My patterns are now all watermarked thanks to thieves. Thank you for supporting the real designer!
-Caron (worsted), 4mm hook = 5” wide/tall
