Knit hairy monster

This is the instructions for knitting a hairy monster toy. You can make it with 1 or 2 eyes whichever you prefer.

Finished toy measures about 13 inches tall. It is knitted in the round with circular knitting needles. I used a long, hairy yarn (Eskimo style craft petrol yarn - 1.5 rolls) but please note you can choose any type of yarn you like.

If you use a long hairy yarn please remember that you need to be extremely careful as you knit. If you drop a stitch or make a mistake, it would be a nightmare to undo the mistake because you can hardly see the stitches.

NOTE: I also have crochet instructions for this toy if you use regular yarn and prefer to crochet instead of knit.
