MATERIALS AND TOOLS:

– yarn Jeans YarnArt (160 m/50 g) of brown color (I use №71 (cacao), light beige

color (№05) and additional color for the dress;

– a hook, suitable for the chosen yarn (I use 1.9 mm);

– stuffing (synthetic fluff or hollofayber);

– wooden sticks to help to stuff the toy;

– a sewing needle;

– moulinet threads: white – to embroider the whites of the eyes, black – for the

brows,

– eyes 8 mm in diameter (halfbeads or safety eyes);

– a wire for a frame of the tail (I use a chenille wire)

– if you want to make a cotter pin fastening of the arms and legs, then you’ll need

the following: disks 15 mm in diameter – 4 pcs for the arms, disks 20 mm in diameter –

2 pcs for the head. T-shaped cotter pins: 20 mm – 2 pcs for the arms, 28 mm – 1 piece

for the head.

The size of the monkey is 18 cm, if using the pointed materials.

ADVICES:

1. Each detail begins from the magic ring. Crochet in a spiral.

2. Try to crochet rather tight. If the stitches are not rather tight, try to use a

smaller hook.

3. Stuff your toy in the course of crocheting. The tight stuffing gives a necessary

shape to your toy and helps to keep it.

4. If you make a toy for a child younger than 3 years, then it is better to use the

safety eyes.

5. You can use both cotter pin and thread fastening for the arms. You can just sew

the head.

Fix a thread in the point of the mouth. Insert a needle in the point of the mouth

and take it out in the point of the left eye. Step two stitches, insert a needle, take it out

in the point of the mouth. Tighten. Repeat this action once more. Fasten off a thread in

the point of the mouth. Do not cut a thread.

Ears

Apply the beige detail of the ear by the right side to the wrong side of the brown

detail. Insert the hook I the first stitch of the beige detail, grasp not fastened loop of the

brown detail, draw out. Further crochet two details together: ch, 1 sc, inc, (2 sc, inc) х 5

times, 1 sc. Finish the row with a sl st. Fasten off, leave a long thread enough for sewing

Tail.

Brown color

1 rnd: 6 sc in MR

2 rnd: (2 sc, inc) х 2 times (8)

3-35 (33 rows): 8 sc.

Fasten off, leave a long thread enough for sewing.

Reinforce the tail. I use a chenille wire. You can use any other wire: a wire for any

articles, floristic wire or any other not very thick wire, which bends well. If your wire is

smooth, I advise to wind it with a common medical adhesive plaster to make it more

safety and so as it will not slide inside the tail. You can add some stuffing, it is on your

• 

discretion.

I used two chenille wires, twist them with each other, bend and fix well a sharp

end with pliers to make it more safety. The length of our wire should be for 2-3 cm

longer than the tail.

Insert our wire in the tail. Insert a free end of a wire in the bottom)) of the

monkey. Sew the tail.

Here is our monkey ready!
