This crochet pattern is for a quick and easy Oscar the Grouch. This loveable and well-known character from Sesame Street is a favourite among folks of all ages. These guys are really cute and well-received as gifts. They also sell well at markets and craft shows.
NOTE: This pattern is considered intermediate because of the tricky chenille yarn. You can make an easier, yet still adorable, Oscar by using just plain old worsted weight yarn too.
An original pattern by Fat Lady Crochet. Please note this is a crochet pattern, not the finished physical Oscar.
This intermediate crochet pattern is written in US terms and is designed for crocheters with a solid understanding of simple crochet, and who don't mind a little bit of sewing. Lots of photos are included to help you along the way.
