Frank Cyclopstra – Free Pattern

Old blue eye, will croon a little song for you.

Back when I was obsessed with making monsters. I love this guy and his little pocket square. He’s a super fun and super bright monster.

Once again he isn’t tested so let me know if you have any problems or corrections.

Note: Entire project is worked in the round. Use a stitch marker or a scrap piece of yarn to mark the beginning of each row. Then you don’t have to count every row. Do not join unless instructed to.

Parentheses indicate a repeat. Repeat the stitches in the parentheses for the number of times indicated.

The bracketed number [] is the number of stitches at the end of each row.

I spread my increases out so there isn’t a seam on the finished piece. If you do not like this method, you can do regular increases.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at drunkenauntwendy@gmail.com.

    He is so cute. I was just getting ready to make him and I noticed that row 7-10 on the legs is not there. Can you please post those also. Thanks so much for your pattern, I can’t wait to see the reaction on my grandsons face.
