Miss Monkey!

This monkey pattern from Heart & Sew is just so sweet that when someone asked me if I could make them a monkey, I knew exactly where I needed to go!

Here is the first one I made:

I used floss for the embroidered nose and it just didn't turn out exactly the way I wanted it to - it was kind of hard to see. I LOVE the way the arms/legs hand - they're so long and dangly!

This one was for a "Ms. Monkey" themed baby nursery, so naturally I added a nice little pink flower to her ear for some added cuteness.

Here is the second one I made:

This one turned out quite a bit bigger than the other one I made. Everything still worked out fine, but I guess it had been so long in between when I made the two that I wasn't sure what hook I used and I picked the wrong one. Not that it really matters, he's just as sweet a little bigger!! I also added pipe cleaner to the tail of this one, which I didn't do for the first one since it was for a baby and I didn't want the wire to work its way out. I also used wool for the nose and mouth and I like it a lot better. :)
