Monster Crochet. Baby Monsters! Very basic amigurumi. EDIT!

Hopefully they'll be able to finish the project while I'm with them They're made out of 10 different kinds of yarn, but my favorite to work with was the Cascade 220 wool. I'm getting spoiled now, because if I'm going to be at the yarn store teaching there's no telling how many colors of nice yarn I'm going to "need.
" ! I'm going to post a pattern on my blog I think, but is pretty simple. That's the tutorial in a nutshell!

I was going to just call them linguine bunnybuns, but my boyfriend insisted that they're space bunnies. So now they're linguine bunnybuns... from outer space! Crochet an Android Robot. I love the Android logo guy.
He’s adorable. So I thought I’d make a stuffed one! I improvised the entire pattern as I went, so this is a bit of a rough how-to, and can be adapted to make robots of all shapes and sizes.
