How to Crochet Monster Buddies Amigurumi Plushies
This adorable amigurumi project features a quick and easy little monster pattern! Perfect for beginners and advanced crocheters alike, these miniature creatures are worked in continuous rounds using bright, vibrant cotton yarn.
You will start by crocheting the main body (the head), stuffing it as you go, and closing the top flat to give it its distinctive horn-like corners.
Then, you’ll crochet a cute, multi-colored eye to attach to the center, finishing it off with fun embroidered details like a little mouth, a single tooth, and expressive eyebrows. They make great keychain charms, gifts, or cute desk companions!

Rnds 20 to 21: 1 sc in each st around (2 rounds total) [30 sts]
Closing the Body: Stuff the body firmly with fiberfill. Pinch the top opening flat so the stitches on both sides line up. Close the opening by working 15 sl st through both layers all the way across the top. Fasten off and weave in the loose ends.
The Eye
(Start with Black yarn)
Rnd 1: 6 sc in a Magic Ring [6 sts] (Change color to Green, or your chosen iris color)
Rnd 2: 6 inc [12 sts] (Change color to White)
Rnd 3: 12 inc [24 sts]
Fasten off, leaving a long white tail for sewing. Using a tiny bit of white yarn, embroider a small “light point” (catchlight) in the upper corner of the black pupil to bring the eye to life.
Assembly & Finishing Details
Attach the Eye: Position the eye right in the center of the monster’s body. You can either sew it on using the long white yarn tail or glue it in place.
Facial Features: Thread your needle with black yarn and embroider a fun, slanted eyebrow above the eye, and a quirky little mouth below it.
The Tooth: Using a bit of white yarn, embroider a small square tooth poking out from the mouth.
