String Bean is one of the five Mandala Monsters of the Mandala Monster Crochet Pattern Collection! He is super cute and unique with an outgoing personality! The crochet pattern for String Bean is an easy level and includes lots of photos for reference. Make him for yourself, give him as a gift, either way, you’re going to love making him!

The techniques you will need to know for this pattern are single crochet, crocheting with double strands, and working in the back loop. You don’t necessarily need to work in the back loop, but I personally love the way it looks when you work through the back loop only.

You will need one ball of Lion Brand Mandala (or any of their similar DK weight yarn) and a 5mm crochet hook.
