Cookie Monster Pattern

He is complete!

Its been a long time coming but I have finally gotten round to re-making cookie monster and writing up the pattern and I'd just like to say now that I never want to crochet with eyelash yarn every again. Night mare!

Anyway I am pretty pleased with the way he turned out, he is smaller than the last cookie monster but I feel that the mouth turned out better this time, The dec rounds on the body are a bit rough but as long as he is
getting smaller at that part thats all you need to worry about.




You will need:

150g of Stylecraft Eskimo Double Knit Blue eyelash yarn
Small amounts of white and black DK
10mm safety eyes
3.5mm hook
Stitch marker
Fibre Fill to stuff and a needle to sew

NOTE: this is an intermediate to advanced pattern, if you are having problems check the comments below the pattern as the answer may be there or there is always Google.

This weekend!

This weekend I will be re-crocheting the famous cookie monster
I made this in 2008 and didn't write the pattern so now I have more yarn to do it again and I will write the pattern this time. If you would like to follow my progress over the weekend and see how he is coming along you can follow me on twitter @MaggieVassie and hopefully by the end of the weekend we will have an all new pattern for the blog :)
