Mix & Match Monsters

Introducing the Mix & Match Monsters!


Pattern Features:

  • Interchangeable Parts: All of the heads, legs, arms, eyes, mouths, etc can be rearranged to make unlimited monster combinations!
Monsters made by my amazing testers!

  • Attach as you go legs: Intimidated by all those octopus legs? They are attached as you go so there is no sewing later on! Check out the video tutorial to see how it's done! Link also included in pattern.
  • Not too big & not too small: Each monster is about 8-9 inches tall. A great size for playing & hugging but it doesn't take forever to make!
  • Cut & Paste Sheet: Included with the pattern is a Cut & Paste sheet with all sorts of parts! Cut out the pieces & rearrange as much as you want until you get exactly the right combination! Great for letting the kids make their own designs.

  • Easy to Follow formatting: As with all Featherby & Friends patterns I spend a lot of time getting the layout just right! Color coding, space for checking off rounds & lots of pictures with labels. It all comes together to make a pattern that is easy to read so it's easy to make!

Materials Needed:

  • Worsted Weight (4) yarn: I used Loops & Threads Impeccable (pictured in Sunny Day, Clear Blue & Kelly Green). Each monster uses approximately 150-200 yards depending on parts.
  • Hook Size G (4.0mm)
  • Stuffing
  • Safety Eyes: shown in 12mm & 15mm but really any size can work for a monster! If you are making a monster for a child under 3 consider crocheting or embroidering eyes instead.
  • Yarn needle, finishing needle
  • Felt: I used white felt for the teeth but you can use it for other parts too - spots, spikes, belly, mouth, even eyes!
  • Sewing needle & thread: only if you use felt!
  • Scissors, glue, plain paper, crayons: for cutting, pasting & coloring your Monster designs!
PDF version included with pattern!
