Jumbo Monster Crochet Pattern

Meet Roose the Big Monster

What a cutie! How can you resist those big eyes? Roose is an adorable monster (and Roosevelt’s bigger brother)… perfect for little ones, because he’s not too scary! And, he’ll look great in any color combination… limited only by your imagination!

Roose measures 11″ tall when crocheted with a worsted weight yarn.

Materials Required

Blue Sky Alpacas Worsted Cotton (100% organic cotton) is the yarn used in sample in colors: Azul (300 yards), Lemonade (80 yards) and Tulip (15 yards). This pattern can be used with any weight yarn, but plan on using more yardage for bulkier yarns.
