Pattern Description:

I've never seen a knit, furry monkey, so I thought I'd create one! And Mooki was born. He's a furry bundle of cuteness and you will find it difficult not to grab him and give him a good squeeze! He's a soft, cuddly guy, hanging around, waiting for a friend to get into mischief with. I have used a sable color eyelash yarn with a contrasting camel color worsted weight yarn for this monkey, but you could make your monkey any colors and yarns you wish. And then, let the fun begin!!!

I love this pattern. It is very easy to follow and put together. The head and body are made in one piece which not only means there is no flopping of the head so there is no extra sewing to stabilize the head. Just a fun and very cute pattern.
