Halloween Monster Plushie Rag Doll

Gather some colourful felts and craft this super cute monster plushie! This could be a great gift for this Halloween. This Halloween Monster is perfect as a Halloween gift or as a Halloween decoration too.

Supplies:
1. Felt
2. Hotglue gun
3. Scissors
4. Pencil – to trace patterns
5. Stuffing

Step-1: Remember to choose bright colors for this plushie. In this picture you can see the basic pattern of the plush I made. It includes- body, legs, hands, ears. You will need 2 pieces of patterns for each leg, hand and the body.

Step-2: For the face details I used black and white felts to create the eyes, nose, mouth and teeth. Use hotglue gun to attach the face details on their places, on the front pattern of the body.

Step-3: Glue the orange ear piece on the top of the green ear piece and then slightly fold a side to create the ear for the plush. Attach the ear on the back side of the front body piece.

Step-4: Use white felt to cut out 12 triangular nail patterns and attach 3 nails on 2 leg and 2 hand patterns as shown in the picture. Place the other piece of the hands and legs on the top of the nail glued pieces. Use hot glue gun to attach both pieces together. This means that the nails need to be glued in between the 2 pieces of each part (hands and legs).

Step-5: Glue the hands and legs with the body piece for the back side of the plush. Now take the front piece with face details and place it on the top of the back piece. Carefully attach the sides of the front and back body pieces but don’t forget to keep a small open end for stuffing.

Step-6: Insert wool or scrap fabric through the open end of the plush. After you’re done filling the plush use hotglue gun to close the open end and secure the stuffing.

You can add more details if you wish to.

Happy crafting!

We’ve reached the portion of summer where I live where the heat is just an insult. I don’t want to go outside for any reason and the only thing I want to do is think about how it’s going to be fall soon and I’m going to need my sweaters again.

If you need a pretty little knit to tide you over until you can start wearing sweaters again, might I suggest Tosca from Berroco?

This highly textured cardigan design by Alison Green is stunning in a jewel tone but I think it would look great in any color you like. It actually calls for a Pima cotton yarn, which is great for the beginning of fall when you’re just starting to need an extra layer in the cool of the morning or the evening (or as a defense against air conditioning).

This intermediate knitting pattern features a split hem and then is worked flat to the underarms in one piece. The parts are then worked separately to finish up the top, and the sleeves are knit flat and sewn in and seamed after the body has been sewn together.

The pattern includes 12 sizes, with a finished bust measurement ranging from 38 to 72.5 inches, or 96.5 to 184 cm. The pattern notes don’t say how much ease is intended but it sounds like a lot. You can always pick a size based on how much ease you would like.

The stitch pattern is a pretty lattice cable that includes yarn overs and decreases as well as simple twists. The pattern is both written and charted so you can work whichever way you like.

This looks like a great cardigan that’s a little bit fancy but still not too difficult to knit that can get you through to the fall in knitting it and then you can enjoy wearing it all season long.
