Ricorumi Marvellous Monsters Under My Bed Book

If you’ve ever suspected there might be something a bit magical hiding under the bed… this book is here to prove you’re probably right.

Ricorumi Monsters Under My Bed is a wonderfully imaginative crochet pattern book featuring 10 playful monster designs, each one full of personality, texture and charm. These aren’t scary monsters – they’re the kind you secretly want to keep on your shelf, or gift to someone who appreciates a bit of quirky handmade fun.

Over 24 pages, each creature is guided step by step, so you’re never left guessing. The instructions are clear, detailed and thoughtfully laid out, making it easy to follow whether you’re building your first monster or adding to a growing collection.

What makes this book extra special is the clever use of different Ricorumi yarns throughout. You’ll see combinations of Ricorumi dk, Furry Furry, Furry Furry Print, Neon dk and Glow In The Dark yarns used to bring each character to life in a completely different way. From soft fluffy textures to bold neon accents and unexpected glowing details, each monster has its own little personality built right into the materials.

It’s a brilliant way to explore texture, colour and effect in amigurumi without needing to overthink the design yourself – the creativity is already built in.

Why we love it and what you can make

This is the kind of project book that makes you want to cast on immediately. It’s playful, a bit silly in the best possible way, and full of ideas that feel genuinely fun to bring to life.

Inside you’ll find:

• 10 imaginative crochet monster patterns
• 24 pages of clear, step-by-step instructions
• Designs that use a mix of Ricorumi yarns for texture and effect
• Projects that range from soft and fluffy to bold, neon and glowing

Each monster has its own character, from cuddly and cute to slightly mischievous, and the mix of yarn types means no two projects feel the same. It’s perfect if you enjoy experimenting with texture or want to try something a bit different from standard amigurumi.

Suitable for a range of skill levels, it’s especially great for confident beginners and intermediate makers who are ready to explore more creative techniques while still having everything clearly explained.
