Huug the Hug Monster

[toque]

So a year ago I had this idea of a hug monster -- he'd of course have oversized arms perfect for hugging. I originally designed him for my husband and created the pattern as I went along -- adjusting stitches until I had a result that matched the vision in my head. The first Huug I created as a knitted pattern, but then a few months ago I revisited Huug and made two more... this time in crochet. And now, introducing... my "baby" .... HUUG!  (pronounced HOO-g)

Original knitted version:

What do you think of him? <3 thanks for looking!

I think he's adorable! And would make a great baby shower gift even for say the older sibling who'd getting no cool gifts! lol!
Great concept!
