The MeMe Monster
Materials
-
US 6/4mm Needles. Smaller than what the yarn calls for in order to
avoid gaps in the knitted monster skin.
- Monster Guts [Stuffing]
Feet: Only stuff the foot and not the leg. Eyes: Stuff both the ball
and stem well as it helps for the to stick up. In earlier versions of
this pattern I’ve also used straws in the stem part of the eyes to
help in their sticking up.
- Large eyes or any of your choosing.
- White yarn
- White
thread & sewing needle or glue.
- Darning needle for sewing on
the limbs and eyes in the round.
- Accessories. Consider adding
false eyelashes glued to the eyes before attaching them for a girl
monster or a bow tie for a boy sewing it on a few rows under the
mouth.
Cast
On:
Using your favorite go-to Toe Up Socks Cast On the number of stitches
given. Alternatively you could use the Figure Eight Cast On and count
the slip knot, though, I don’t even do that but simply a twist in
the yarn.
M1
(Make One):
I typically have used the Knit through front and back loop on the
first round and picked up the bar between the stitch and knitting
through the back of the loop, which is considered the M1 L, left lean
make one technique. Use your favorite make one method as long as it
doesn’t leave a hole in the following rounds.
Thanks.
