The Fresno Nightcrawler is as goofy as they come for North American cryptids. These fellas are best described as walking pants. Humanoid-ish in shape with no arms or really any discernible features besides their long legs, Nightcrawlers are really just cute ~ Little Guys™~. These mini knit Fresno Nightcrawlers work up so fast and use such little yarn it’s almost spooky. Knit yourself a hoard of these and get ready to let them strut their stuff!

This pattern results in a small finished object not suitable for young children who may swallow it.
