I bought some fun fur yarn on clearance not knowing exactly what to make with it. It turns out I made this fun little monster! The pattern it’s self is fairly easy, but if you’ve never worked with fun fur before, I would suggest playing around with it first before trying to make anything. Often times it can be hard to see the stitches in your work so try and push the “eyelashes” of the yarn back to help get a good visual of where to stick you hook. Other than that, have fun making this goofy monster! Skill Level:

Note: if this is your first time working with fun fur yarn, it may be difficult to see the stitches in your work. It is recommended to practice using this type of yarn before attempting pattern.
