Have you made the monster with regular yarn?. I only have red heart super saver.
Will this work.
Thank you
Hi Sharon, I haven’t made them with different yarn as I needed to make 14 of them if a few days. If you use double strands of red heart super saver, you should be able to make one of a similar size. If you use just one strand, it should work too but it will be much smaller.
Hi Sharon. Thank you so much for the pattern. Lots of love from South Africa
You are very welcome! Thank you for your message.
Hello and thank you for pattern. How much wool do you think each one takes?
Hi, I am sorry, I didn’t write it and I can’t remember, But i made them with left over of yarn, so definitely not too much. thank you for your message.
