About this pattern
Gus is a purple monster who grins from ear to ear. His mint belly and pale yellow horns give him a playful look, and the big open smile shows he is friendly. You crochet six parts, with 57 rounds in all. He is a great way to use up scrap yarn, and children who like silly characters will take him everywhere.
It makes a sweet baby shower gift, a birthday surprise or a little shelf friend, and you are welcome to sell the toys you make from it.
