Crochet Monsters

With 37 Monster body options, plus myriad variations for limbs, mouths and teeth, horns, antennae, tails, scales, and so much more, you will never make the same Monster twice. Choose from wide open mouths with fangs to adorable Monsters with bunny ears and a cat tail to Monsters with hair poufs and scales. Make one-eyed spiders or three-eyed aliens, dragons with scales or little friends that don’t match any known monster to date. There is nearly no limit to the variations you can combine!

All Monsters use worsted weight and/or sport weight yarn and a size G-6 (4 mm) hook. Patterns are appropriate for beginner through advanced crocheters. If a stitch is new to you, just turn to the Glossary for detailed instructions on how to work it. Photos are included for each pattern piece and any complex stitches so you can be sure you are on the right track as you work.

Choosing your next Monster’s look is half the fun. Get family and friends involved in picking options for their own Monster and share the creativity! Get excited for these Monsters to skitter, galumph, stomp, and roll right off your hook!

Praise for Crochet Impkins (Stackpole 2023)

"With Lapp's (Crochet Creatures of Myth and Legend) hands-on, creative title, crocheters can enter the magical world of Impkins, introduced in the alternative-universe game Loomian Legacy: Veils of Shadow. This book offers a descriptive table of contents, which can be used as a great and quick reference later. It provides helpful tools--a worksheet to copy and reuse, for example--that crocheters can utilize to determine what their project will look like. There are numerous options to choose from: body styles, tails, horns, clothing, and more. Owing to the tighter and numerous types of stitches used, this title is best for crocheters who have already completed a few beginner projects. Basic knowledge of sewing would also be useful for attaching pieces. The author includes links to a few video tutorials for some of the more intricate techniques. This highly imaginative book offers patterns with a backstory for worldbuilding and cleverly sprinkled hints about caring for the new crocheted critters. VERDICT Crocheters will truly delight in picking features for their own creations of Impkins."

The monster designs are uniformly cute, featuring oversize plastic eyes or tiny tongues protruding from jutted-out lower lips, and the ability to choose which pieces to combine will appeal to readers who like to personalize their crafts. Amigurumi crocheters will eat this up.

These adorable monsters will steal your heart (and possibly your hook)!
