A4 PDF: materials, every round with a tick box, assembly and face

Free crochet worry monster pattern: a Worry Monster amigurumi, about 9 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. A small round green monster with big white eyes, worried brows, little ear bumps, tiny arms and a zipper stitched across its mouth. You need about 50 m of yarn: 35 m green, 10 m dark green and 5 m pink. Plan on roughly 2 hours. Small enough for a pocket, it is a gentle gift for anyone who likes to share their worries. You can spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern step by step.

How to crochet the Worry Monster

Beginner-friendly · 9 cm tall · about 2 h · DK yarn · 2.5 mm hook

  1. Crochet the 9 pieces in rounds: Body, Arm ×2, Foot ×2, Cheek ×2, Ear bump ×2 (45 rounds in all).
  2. Stuff and put it together in 5 steps; each one lights up where it goes on the 3D model.
  3. Add the face: safety eyes by round and stitch, or embroider them for a child under 3.

Every round with its stitch count is in the Pattern tab below, and in the free printable PDF.

What you'll need

Tick things off as you gather them.

Gauge

1 sc ≈ 4 mm wide, 1 round ≈ 3.6 mm tall (10 cm ≈ 25 sc × 28 rounds); yarn about 1.9 mm thick. The gauge sets the size of the toy; crochet tightly so the stuffing does not show.

Worked in

Continuous spiral rounds. Don't join. Move a stitch marker up every round.
