This crochet pattern is for a McDonald’s restaurant’s Grimace character. This weird purple guy is a fun throwback to McDonald’s original gang of restaurant mascots.

An original pattern by Fat Lady Crochet. Please note this is a crochet pattern, not the finished physical Cookie Monster.

This easy crochet pattern is written in US terms and is designed for crocheters with a solid understanding of simple crochet, and who don’t mind a little bit of sewing. Lots of photos are included to help you along the way.
