Monster Fleece Lovey Blankets

Monster Fleece Lovey Blankets

Back in March when I was knee deep in monster birthday party planning, I came across fleece fabric at JoAnn's that had little monsters on it. I had no idea what I was going to do with it, but I went ahead and purchased 2 yards of it anyway. And its been sitting on my craft shelf ever since. When I found out this weeks One Crafty Contest material was fabric, I knew it was time to put the monster fleece to use! I don't own a sewing machine nor do I know how to sew - Yes, there is something I can't do :o) But I had recently learned how to crochet around fleece for the Project Linus Blanket Drive. I thought a blanket was too boring, but a monster lovely would be perfect!

Cookie Monster Crochet Bag

Cookie Monster Crochet Bag

This was the final of my little Sesame Street designs. Since the coin purse, pencil case and nesting bowls were all able to hold things, I wanted to continue that with this piece. And every Cookie Monster needs a bag for their cookies!

The body of the bag is made up with rows with multiple double crochet in one stitch and rows with clusters. Clusters take a little bit of time to get right, but really get the up and down pattern.
