Monkey See, Monkey Do! Ever been inspired after visiting the zoo to make your favorite animals, but not quite sure where to start? This post rounds up 10 easy Monkey patterns that everyone in the family will find adorable! All patterns listed below are free and easy to make. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Amigurumi Crochet Monkey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This miniature monkey is the perfect size to keep in your pocket, swinging off a keychain, or hanging off a plant in your house! This monkey ami pattern is easy to follow with photos to follow every step of the way. If you are unsure about making a monkey this small, or have never used a 2.5mm hook – no worries. Just use a thicker yarn, and hook size appropriate for the yarn you’ve chosen to make your own Amigurumi Crochet Monkey (note, it will instead be larger than 4.5cm then).<\/p>\n\n\n

2. Oakley the Monkey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This plushie monkey is just the cutest and is practically begging to be cuddled. Although this pattern is considered intermediate – don\u2019t let that deter you! The techniques and stitches should be familiar for beginners, they are just a little more detailed. The pattern calls for an aran weight yarn and measures to almost 13\u201d when done! At the end of the pattern the designer has, also, included a bonus pattern for the banana surfboard – kowabunga! If you don’t want to use the banana as a surfboard, you can always stuff it and use it as a regular banana ami to accompany your Oakley the Monkey ami.<\/p>\n\n\n

4. C2C Monkey Square<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This monkey square is made using a method called corner-to-corner crochet and is part of a larger blanket pattern (that involves many adorable animals!). But that doesn\u2019t mean that you have to use this square as a blanket either. This pattern could easily be made into a decorative pillow, wall hanging, or even as its own blanket (without the other zoo animals). The C2C Monkey Square pattern is provided both as a written pattern and as a graph. <\/p>\n\n\n

5. M is for Monkey Applique<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This super easy to make applique has so many uses! It can be used for a toy, added to a garment, or you can make two and so them together to make a ragdoll (among other endless possibilities). Because the face is embroidered on after, you can make monkey’s expression however you would like! This is such a way to add the facial details and is perfect for making your applique monkeys into part of a play or puppet show (anyone else remember, five little monkeys jumping on the bed?). <\/p>\n\n\n

6. Maisy the Monkey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Maisy the Monkey is a mere 3.5\u201d tall (say is with me, awwww). There are two special stitches used in this pattern that add a perfect accent to Maisy. Now while the stitches are more advanced (the special stitches are used to frame the face and on the flower) the rest of this mini monkey ami is perfect for beginners. The tail, also, can be bent into shape, using a floral wire, but this can easily be omitted if you instead would like to stuff it. <\/p>\n\n\n
