Monkey
Things you need to know about this project
Work in continuous spiral, do not join, you will
be told when you need to close the rounds with a sl st.
Crochet tight to prevent gaps between the stitches that will
not allow the stuffing to show through the fabric.
For this Monkey project I used 3,0 mm crochet hook
The Monkey is about 33 cm tall (13 inch).
Use a stitch marker or piece of yarn to mark the end or the beginning
of a round, move the marker at the end of every round.
Tip! from this pattern you can make smaller or larger Monkey by using a bulkier or finer yarn.
choose a smaller crochet hook at least one size smaller then suggested on the yarn label. by
changing the Monkey size make sure to adjust the size of the safety eyes, also you can use for
the eyes buttons, French knot or paint eyes.
