All done by hand Supermum, including the outfit. My machine doesn't like chenille or stretchy materials either

Can't work out how to fasten his hat on. He has no chin for a chinstrap :rotfl:

I never stuff the arms right to the end, because they stick out too much. If they aren't overstuffed you can position them better.

The hand end or the armpit end?


Love your sailor!

Lovely creations ladies
Silly question time, what size socks should I be looking to get to make a baby style monkey. i don't want to go too small as I think it will be too fiddly for me.
Any advice?

all my baby ones are made from baby sock. newborn or 0 - 6 months. i did make a baby out of an adult sock but he didnt look right.

New monkey - made for a swap on Ravelry.

Naturally, his name is Rav!!

I have a question about crotch stitching (!!!sorry!!!) - I can never make mine neat and it always shows. Ive therefore started to make it deliberately not neat so that it looks more "home made" and crafted - shabby chic springs to mind!! Just wondered how everyone else got round the eternal monkey crotch problem?!!

Craftlady - lovely monkey - the hat is SO cute!
