Monster Al and his Friends
Finished Toy Size: The finished toy measures approximately 7 inches (17.5 cm) when sitting and 11.5 inches (29 cm) when standing, making it a cute and cuddly addition to any collection!
Yarn Requirements: For this project, you will need less than two balls of novelty yarn for the body. We recommend using yarns like Fun Fur or Fancy Fur by Lion Brand, or Bernat Boa. You can also consider using Divine or Allure by Patons for added texture and variety. In addition, you'll need less than one ball of medium-weight yarn in complementary colors for crafting the legs and arms. Make use of leftover medium-weight yarn for the feet, fingers, nose, lips, eye patch, and hair details. This is an excellent project to utilize various remnants of yarn you may already have in your stash. If you opt for Tizzy by Bernat, one strand is all that's necessary for this delightful toy!
Yardage Requirements:
For the body: Depending on the specific body style you choose, you will require about 25-30 yards of Fun Fur, Fancy Fur by Lion Brand, or Boa by Bernat for a slimmer body design. If you prefer a rounder body, aim for about 30-40 yards of Fun Fur or Fancy Fur, along with around 30-40 yards of Divine or Allure by Patons.
For the arms: You will need a total of approximately 20-25 yards of medium-weight yarn, which you can split into two different colors for added visual interest. This project not only offers you a fun and creative knitting experience but also allows you to mix and match yarns for a personalized touch!
