 PATTERN  NOTES    

This  monkey  was  made  using  continuous  single  crochet  rounds  by  way  of  magic  ring/circle  for  the  head,  face,  legs,  body,  arms,  tail  and  ears.  You  may  choose  to  place  stitch  markers  to  mark  and  move  at  the  end  of  each  round.  Crocheting  into  chains  is  used  to  make  the  muzzle.    This  monkey  contains  11  pieces  that  require  sewing  together  to  form  the  finished  item.  A  basic  knowledge  of  whipstitch  sewing  is  required  to  assemble  the  pieces.      Carnival  8  Ply  and  Carnival  Soft  8  Ply  100%  Acrylic  Yarn  was  used  to  make  this  monkey  and  finished  creation  measured  approximately  18cm  (7  inches)  from  top  to  bottom.  Any  variation  to  the  size  of  the  hook  and  yarn  will  result  in  a  different  size  monkey.      SPECIAL  STITCH    

Invisible  decrease.  Insert  hook  into  the  front  loop  of  next  stitch  (don’t  yarn  over)  then  insert  hook  into  the  front  loop  of  the  next  stitch.  Yarn  over  and  pull  through  2  loops  then  yarn  over  and  pull  through  both  loops.  A  regular  single  crochet  decrease  can  be  used  if  that  is  a  preferred  method.      SAFETY  PRECAUTIONS    

If  you  are  making  this  item  for  a  very  young  child,  you  may  want  to  replace  plastic  safety  eyes  with  embroidered  stitches  and  omit  steps  12  and  13  of  Assembly  instructions.  Ensure  all  stitches  are  secured  and  there  are  no  loose  fittings.
