Are you getting tired of these crochet monster pillows yet? I hope not! Because I have one more to show you! Personally, there’s no possible way you can ever get tired of these crazy adorable monsters! Especially you’re children! As I stated in Marty’s post I wanted to make sure these monsters were more goofy rather than spooky. With Grumly the Crochet Monster Pillow, I think I hit the jackpot.

The reason why I love Grumly is because he is goofy as hell and he is super huggable. Wrap your arms around and squeeze squeeze squeeze!
