- Free crochet patterns Frankenstein’s Monster! Rawr! This pattern produces an adorably frightening little Frankenstein monster that you can make with medium or bulky yarn. The monster has lots of customizable features, from his too-short sleeves to the scars on his face. This is an intermediate pattern, requiring approximately 2 dozen color changes in the head – but don’t let that scare you! According to my tester, it was “totally worth it!” You can download the PDF right here: Frankenstein Pattern from wonderstrange Eye Heart Potholders This pattern uses t-shirt yarn, tutorial right here if you need it! You could also use worsted-weight yarn and make ornaments or thread/floss to make earrings should you so desire! This pattern assumes you know how to work in joined rounds and how to do color changes! Click here to download the PDF: Eye Heart Potholders
