C2C crochet Frankenstein pattern

ByMelissa Hassler

This mini C2C crochet Frankenstein pattern is a spooky cute square for Halloween projects! The small monster panel works up quickly and can be used for blankets, pillows, tote bags, wall hangings, table runners, treat bags, and handmade gifts. I used it for my Halloween treat bag pattern.
