Do you need a small project to use up your spare yarn, and practice some new colour-work skills? This little monster will eat up your stash and is great as a plushy ornament, toy, pincushion, festive ornament or just as a mini cushion on your sofa!

Materials

Approx 50-75grams Chunky Yarn. You can strand some 3ply or 4ply weights to make a chunky yarn if you don’t have some, or don’t have enough. You can use any colours, but a contrast between the primary colour-work and the background colour will make a more effective face!

Yarn A Pink
Yarn B Black
Yarn C Green mix
Yarn D Pink and orange mix

Size 4.5 or 5mm needles (depending on how tight or loose you knit)
