 The crochet version are of these monsters are super popular, so I knew I had to make a knit version.

Keep the little ones cool during the summer, without freezing tiny fingers! Great for pool parties or summer birthday party favors. These are a huge hit with the kids!

Full disclosure: This is my first time writing a knit pattern. I did have this pattern tested, but I'm not an expert, so you'll have to let me know how I did! I figure this pattern is super quick and easy that it couldn't be too far off track haha!
