Mike Wazowski Ornament Free Crochet Pattern

Over the years, I have perfected a round panel as a base for many of my crocheted holiday ornaments (see, for example, my Baby Yoda Ornament, my Rudolph Ornament, my Gingerbread Ornament, and my Penguin Ornament). With the base pattern, and a few additions and changes here and there, and you can create almost any type of festive hanging ornament you can dream up!

That’s exactly what I did for this one; some green yarn plus a couple of horns and voilà! A fun take on a fandom favourite – Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc.

The Details

As usual, this pattern is made in the same style as my Ragdoll patterns; separate pieces worked in flat rows and then joined together to give them that unique 2-D look. 

There is zero colour-work in this pattern, so it works up quite quickly!

The finished measurements are approximately 10cm/4″ from top to bottom. If you want a smaller ornament, or if you tend to crochet with a looser tension (my tension is very tight), feel free to size down to a weight 3 yarn! Don’t forget to adjust your hook size as well (2.75mm should do the trick!).

Let’s get started! (Or Pin/Shop for later!)

Move on to assembly below!

Assembly:

Step 1: Face

Using white sewing thread and a sewing needle or, alternatively, glue, stitch or glue the eye onto the front panel. NOTE: the base panel is a little wider than it is tall, so I opted to turn the panels so that the rows are running vertically, rather than horizontally.

Using black crochet thread, stitch on a mouth under the eye.

Using green yarn, stitch the brow onto the front panel above the eye.

Step 2: Joining Panels

Make sure the front is facing you as you crochet around the outside.

Before you begin, cut two lengths of green yarn about 15cm/6″ long and set aside.

Starting in a stitch on the left side in the middle, begin attaching the panels together by inserting your hook through both panels. Single crochet around the outside edge of the panels in green.

Crochet around until you reach the other side. Place the first horn between the panels and stitch in place using a length of green yarn that you set aside earlier. Stitch through all three pieces, the front panel, the horn, and the back panel. Tie a knot in the yarn tails and hide between the panels.

Stuff the ornament now.

Continue crocheting around. When you reach the horn, simply crochet in the stitches of the front panel only since this section is already sewn shut. Continue crocheting both panels together as normal after the horn.

Top up stuffing. Stitch the second horn in place the same way you did for the first. Continue crocheting around, topping up stuffing. Close with a slst to first st. Tie off. With your tapestry needle, poke the yarn tail back inside the piece.

Step 3: Finish

Add a hanging loop or an ornament hook and you’re done!
