Create your own Worry Monster with a twist! Boogie Bug Monster is inspired by Oogie Boogie from the Nightmare Before Christmas.

Feeling anxious or worried? Take a moment to write (or draw) your worry on a piece of paper, fold it up and feed it to the Worry Monster!

This can also be used as a tool to open up discussions about anxiety and mental health, especially with young people.

The size of the completed Monster depends on the yarn and hook size used. The Boogie Bug Monster in the pictures was made using aran (#4 worsted weight) yarn and 3.5mm hook.

The PDF includes lots of pictures with detailed instructions!

This pattern has been written using US crochet terminology. Skills required include making a magic ring, single crochet, double crochet, half double crochet, treble crochet, increasing and decreasing, chain, slip stitch, bobble stitch and changing yarn colour.
