Product Details
Mischief Monkey is a fun and entertaining knitted toy. Much loved, he has a realistic style, yet is of a simple design.
He is quick and simple to knit, using any yarn that you wish. I have knitted him in monkey like colours, but he could equally be knitted in a bright variegated yarn for a more contemporary look. Use any thickness of yarn, thicker - larger monkey, thinner yarn a smaller, cuter monkey. The brown monkey in the pictures here were knitted in a chunky yarn on 6mm needles. He is about 30cm high (tip toe to top of head). If you were to use a 4ply yarn and 3mm needles, he would be about half size at 15cm high. Generally I recommend using a needle size a bit smaller than that suggested for the yarn, you will want to knit quite a tight fabric, so that the stuffing doesn't show through.
If knitting in DK (Sport) weight yarn, you will need approx 30g of the main colour. For an Aran (Worsted) weight you will need approx 75g, and for a chunky yarn, approx 150g.
