IMPORTANT NOTE
Just a quick note to let you know that my crochet patterns are typically shared as posts rather than PDFs, unless specifically stated otherwise.

Also, please keep in mind that, just like my pattern posts for subscribers, not all of these patterns have been formally tested. While I strive for accuracy, there may be minor typos or small errors. I work to correct any issues as soon as they are brought to my attention.

Doing it this way allows me to post two patterns a month because they are quicker to produce, are easily accessible and ready to view directly on my page. The posts can be printed if you wish. Unlike subscribers who lose access to posts if the subscription ends, posts that are purchased will have lifetime access.

If you’re comfortable with this and excited to start creating, my crochet patterns are perfect for you!

The total height of Grumpy is approximately 6.25 inches tall and 6 inches wide with the arms extended.

For the face, I used thread to contour the nose bridge and eye sockets. I also attempted to contour the mouth creases, I think that if using acrylic yarn to make this it would be easier to contour because cotton yarn is a lot stiffer. The hat would also fall better with acrylic yarn.

The only part of Grumpy that is not crocheted is his beard, eyes and eyebrows.
