He is a hug monster that is ready to attack anyone in need of a hug. Herbert was inspired by another Hug Monster by another crocheter. I have a dear friend from childhood that was in a tragic car accident and is struggling with her recovery. She lives many states away, but I still wanted her to know that we were thinking about her and wishing her a speedy recovery.
Here is the pattern:

yards of each (depending on how long you want the arms and how much hair you
want)
