Cute Crochet Monkey

Long-term followers might remember (or maybe not, as it was two years ago!) that I made this pink monkey for myself.  It was around the time my nephew was born and I'd always had in my head that I must make a blue one for him.  I struggle to bring myself to make the same thing twice, though, so it's taken me all this time to do it.


I decided the time was right, as whenever he comes round he clocks the pink one and goes straight for it!  I felt he must have one of his own for his birthday this year.


I gave the monkey a top with a 'T' on it - my nephew's initial.  Whereas my pink one is happier in her birthday suit!  (I always thought of the pink one as a boy actually, but she seems like a girl in these pics)


A friend at last!

But wait... what's this?  He's climbed onto the dresser!


What a pair of monkeys!


I think they might have got into the Christmas sherry!


(Ok, I got a bit carried away taking pictures of the pair of them!!)

The pattern is a great free one from here.


I hope my nephew loves his as much as he seems to love mine!

  1. I cannot imagine anyone not loving one of these monkeys, let alone a special nephew whose special aunt made him one of these little fellows!! xx

    Your pink monkey is just lovely - that sounds a bit dirty.
