Knit hairy monster

Welcome to your ultimate guide for knitting a delightful hairy monster toy! This fun and whimsical project is perfect for knitters of all skill levels, and you can customize it with either one or two eyes, depending on your preference. The finished knotted monster measures approximately 13 inches tall and offers an adorable addition to your toy collection.

You will be using circular knitting needles to work in the round, which allows for seamless stitching and an enjoyable crafting experience. I personally used a long, hairy yarn (specifically, Eskimo-style craft petrol yarn), requiring about 1.5 rolls for this project. However, feel free to choose any type of yarn that inspires you—get creative! Just keep in mind that using a long, hairy yarn means you will need to be extremely cautious while knitting. If you happen to drop a stitch or make a mistake, it can be quite the challenge to undo it, as the stitches become nearly invisible.

For those who prefer working with crochet, we also offer detailed crochet instructions for crafting this charming monster using regular yarn. So whether you like to knit or crochet, you’ll find a pattern that fits your style and preference. Dive into this exciting project and bring your own unique hairy monster to life!
