Yes I am finally getting this mini amigurumi monster on the blog! Would you believe that I made this back in AUGUST?!?! Yes, I had every intention of creating a series of little mini amigurumi monsters to put on the blog. That obviously didn’t happen. But hey, better late than never right?
Hopefully these directions are easy to follow. I tried to include pictures in the places that are little more confusing as well. If you would like to print the pattern out without the pictures you can find that here.

Repeat entire thing for second leg
This is what you should end up with:
BODY
R21: On the last leg made chain three
then slip stitch to the other leg.
Place a marker on the place where you slipped stitched. sc around the leg (12 single crochets) then sc in each stitch of the chain (3 sc),
next single crochet around the second leg (12 single crochets), finally sc in each stitch on the opposite side of the chain (3 single crochets). All together you should have 30 SC
R22-R28: place one single crochet in each stitch of the round. Because you are not joining with a slip stitch be sure to move the marker each time so you know where the row starts. (30)
RD 29: At this row you will be joining the arms
First you will want to stuff the arms, then you will use a tapestry needle to whip stitch the arms onto the body.
Now you can continue your body
RD30-35: SC in each stitch (30)
Sew the eye onto your monster, add a mouth.
TOP
For the top you will be making a rectangle, attaching hair to it, then sewing it onto the body.
Chain 16
R1: SC in the second chain from the hook, and in each stitch (15)
R2-3 SC in the second chain from the hook, and in each stitch (15)
Now you need to add the hair
Insert your hook into a stitch
Pull through a three strands of yarn a few inches long, leave a loop
Pull the ends through the loop.
Do this until the hair is to your liking
Attach the top to the top of the head and enjoy your handiwork!
