Monsters are, quite often, scarryyy. Or ugly? But let me introduce you to this cute & friendly monster, Frankee Steinee! Don’t worry, he comes in peace 😎 He just hasn’t figured out how to talk yet, but he’ll get there. If you’d like, you may add a scar on his face or belly. You can also add a loop on his head to hang on your Halloween tree! OK, let’s get started on some Halloween crochet!

SUPPLIES
- Crochet hook G/4.00mm & C/2.75mm for the tie only
- Safety eyes 9mm
- Yarn needle (I use Clover Chibi Bent Tip Needle Set)
- Fiberfill for stuffing (approx. 4 to 5 oz)
- Stitch marker (optional)
- Any worsted weight yarn, I used the following in my sample:
NOTES
- Frankee measures approx. 6.5″ (16.5cm) tall.
- Frankee is worked in continuous round; do not join or turn.
- Gauge is not essential – just keep your tension consistent throughout. It is a good idea to crochet tightly for amigurumi to avoid stuffing being shown between stitches.
