Early in 2011, the original Fingermonster, Roland, announced that he was looking for his family -- specifically, his long lost brothers. He contacted plush makes far and wide… and luckily, he found me. All this time, Roland’s long lost brother, Floyd, has been living under my roof… waiting to return home. The brothers were reunited at last and there was much rejoicing in the way monsters know best.

Roland and Floyd were so overjoyed that they decided they would make it easy for any crocheter to bring a Fingermonster into their home… and so this pattern was born.

You can learn more about Roland on his monsters-only blog, I Only Like Monsters (http://www.ionlylikemonsters.com/p/rolands-story.html) and keep up with the brothers’s exploits too. But for now, let’s get down to some monster making!
