Free Monster Crochet Pattern

Hector the Cyclops Amigurumi

Create an adorable cyclops amigurumi plushie with this free monster crochet pattern! The pattern for Hector the Cyclops is also featured in the book Amigurumi Fantasy 3, alongside many other cute fantasy creatures.

The main body of the one eyed monster in the photo was made using furry yarn and a 5 mm crochet hook. All other body parts were made with sport-weight cotton yarn and a 2.5 mm hook. If you use the same materials, your monster with one eye will be about 22 cm (9 inches) tall.

Furry yarn can be quite challenging to crochet with, but don’t worry, I’ve made a video tutorial on how to crochet with furry/plushie yarn to help you out.

A little story about Hector the Cyclops:

Hector the Cyclops lives in a small village at the base of a mountain. Despite his large size and strength, Hector is notoriously lazy. He spends his days lounging in the sun, dozing off, and coming up with elaborate excuses for not helping with the village chores.
