The idea is that you flip it over and you have a happy monster on one side, and a sad one on the other. The legs become horns/feelers/ears/whatever you fancy. I'm not sure about him/her, though. I REALLY don't like sewing separate pieces together as it just never looks neat enough, but I couldn't figure out how to knit in the round with the two separate colours on each side at once, so it looks a little lumpy. Maybe I should consult my Stitch 'n' Bitch book - the knitters' Bible - for advice.
But anyway, onwards and upwards! I've publicly said I'm aiming for a 1st June launch for my etsy shop (although that's a Friday, so it'll be the 4th) so I'd better get on! A mummy and baby monster next, I think....

Thats a great idea, having a reversable monster!
P.xx
Your monsters are great! Especially this reversable chap, here's a great book I can heartily recommend to a fellow monster fan:

Hi Emma
Me and Catatatat think your monsters would make good hotwater bottle covers aswell!
oooh, and make pocket sized monsters, and handwarmer covers too!!!

Can you not knit the seams together? I have this vague memory...you pick up the end stitch from one side, and then a matching one from the other side and put the first one over the other, pick up from the other side and repeat - a bit like a simple crochet stitch just looping the sides together. Been a sod of a long time since I knitted!
aaaaw, he looks like he needs a cuddle!
you're certainly getting those monters knitted!
They're looking wonderful!
