Do you love to make special, unique, customized gifts for the kids in your life? Then Cheery the monster is a perfect pattern for you.

Cheery makes a great gift for sports fans and cheerleaders alike. You can easily customize her colors to match everyone’s favorite teams. When I crocheted Cheery, I made her in the colors of the Denver Broncos, because they’re my favorites. But when you make Cheery, you can use any colors you like!

Cheery is easy to make and whips up in just a few hours. Her pom poms make her super cute and I recommend using a pom pom maker to make sure they’re the right size (details in pattern).

Cheery is a great size for playing! She sits up on his own, and her long arms with pom poms make her super easy for kids to grab and pick up. When finished, Cheery measures approximately 7 inches tall and 9 1/2 inches wide including her pom poms. Plus she’s a safe toy for babies and toddlers because all parts of her are crocheted and will not easily pop off to pose a choking risk.
