This is a pattern for how to create a basic Grumpus from Bugsnax. This is a free pattern of my own design. I have included all instructions to create a simple canon Grumpus plush, and a few optional details such as horns and how to customise.

Resulting plush will be around 22cm from top of head (without horns) to bottom of feet.

Two PDFs are included:
The main pattern PDF, which includes all instructions and advice, and many photos. Recommended for onscreen viewing.
Secondly, a smaller black and white PDF with just the patterns and no photos, fewer pages, much better for printing the instructions if desired. Read the main PDF first for info before crocheting from this printable.

You will require DK* yarn of any brand in several colours:

  • chosen fur colour, here pink (less than 1 ball)
  • mouth colour, here dark grey (less than half a ball)
  • nose colour, here yellow (less than half a ball)
  • white (less than half a ball)
  • black (small amount)

DK yarn can be replaced with any size so long as the hook is a size below label recommendation. You may need more balls of yarn for a larger weight, however. For DK, use a 3.5mm hook.

If you make the optional Strabby, you will also need

  • red (small amount)
  • green (small amount)

You will also need stuffing and a darning needle, and pins if you have them.
