Little Monkey Amigurumi Pattern

Hi crochet friends! I'm so excited to share today's pattern with you! It was finally time for the Little Monkey Amigurumi Pattern to get a low-sew version. Now, instead of having to sew ten separate pieces, it's just four pieces!

***You can purchase an INEXPENSIVE AD-FREE PDF of this pattern on Etsy! The pattern is concise, downloadable, and printable and your purchase helps me to continue putting out free patterns!***

This pattern is pretty beginner-friendly and works up surprisingly quickly to make a 7 inch tall plush, but the size can change based on the yarn you use and the tension you have when you crochet!

~Feel free to make and sell these, but please do not mass produce! If you would like to share this pattern, please link to this page, but do not reprint it on your site.

Assembly:

• Pin the face to the head, making sure to make it as centered as possible and then sew it down, stuffing the snout part as you go. Embroider eyes now if doing so. You can also embroider a mouth and nose on the snout if you’d like for more personalization!

• Attach the ears to either side of the head. To find the right position, I like to pin the ears and move them until I am happy with how they look. Each plushie is slightly different, so put them where you think it's the cutest! <3

• Lastly, pin the tail so that it helps the monkey to sit on its own and then sew it down. If you would like the tail to curve a bit, here’s how I accomplish that- I take the remaining tail of yarn and weave it in a straight line from the base of the tail to the tip of the tail and then pull until it’s as curved as I want it to be, then I tie it down and hide the yarn!

Then you’re all done!
