Grumpybum Monster Longies – The VIF-supporter-by-accident Beast

Pin It
I came across a picture of a monster longie on the net, and instantly wanted to knit it for Wanderbaby. But, after googling and googling I could not find a pattern I liked. All the patters available out there (or at least the ones I came across) had some elements I didn’t like. So, after having studied lots of different pictures I decided to wing it.

Not too shabby if I can say so myself. I obviously need some more practice doing duplicate stitches, and the eyes are not quite to my liking. I should also get myself some sock needles so I don’t have to knit back and forth on the legs but just around and around.

After having knitted about 10 cm I suddenly realised that I was making it in the VIF colours. I don’t think the recpient i had in mind is a VIF supporter, but I guess it never is too late to become one.

  1. Looks rather awesome to me. I am sorry but don't know what the abbreviation VIF is for. my apologies. I am having trouble trying to figure out the crotch. I am posted on the grumpy monster page. but so far no reply. I have knit many different things but this has me stumped and am not sure why so I must be reading something wrong. Would you please be able to explain it just a little differently and I should be able to get it. Thanks Marlene

  2. PLEASE NOTE THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT VIF STANDS FOR. SINCE I AM NOT AWARE OF WHAT IT STANDS FOR PLEASE DON'T LIST ME AS A SUPPORTER. IT MIGHT BE A VERY WORTHWHILE CAUSE. SORRY FOR THE CAPS...just thought it might make my opinion regarding this noticed. thanks Marlene

    How do I download the pattern? I do not want all of the comments...just the pattern. It tried to copy it so I could enlarge the print...but it will not allow me to do that. And do you not have a PDF file? Thanks.
