Rnd 3: (INC, 1 SC)*6 = 18 SC 

Rnd 4: (2 SC, INC)*6 = 24 SC 

Rnd 5: (INC, 3 SC)*6 = 30 SC 

Rnd 6: (3 SC, INC, 6 SC)*3 = 33 SC 

Rnds 7-14: 33 SC 

( )*6 – repeat 6 times 

Rnd 15: (5 SC, DEC, 4 SC)*3 = 30 SC 

Rnd 16: (2 SC, DEC, 1 SC)*6 = 24 SC 

Rnd 17: (DEC, 2 SC)*6 = 18 SC 

Rnd 18: (1 SC, DEC)*6 = 12 SC

Rnd 32: 6 DEC = 6 SC 

Finish stuffing, make a SS, cut the yarn, thread it through all remaining loops and pull to close the hole. 

≈ 2 cm 

Muzzle (white): 

Rnd 1: 6 SC into the magic ring. 

Rnd 2: (INC 3 in 1, INC, 1 SC)*2 = 12 SC 

Rnd 3: (1 SC, 3 INC, 2 SC)*2 = 18 SC

Rnd 6: 7 SC, SS, (1 SC, 1 HDC, 2 DC2TOG) – in 1 st, (2 DC2TOG, 1 HDC, 1 SC) – in 1 st, SS, (1 SC, 1 HDC, 2 DC2TOG) – in 1 st, (2 DC2TOG, 1 HDC, 1 SC) – in 1 st, SS, 7 SC, SS 

Cut the yarn, leaving a tail for sewing, fasten off. 

Sew the muzzle to any side, our base is round. 

Stuff the muzzle, do not stuff the eyes, leave them flat. Sew under the eyes to prevent stuffing from getting into the eyes. 

≈ 3 rows from the neck 

5-6 rows 

Belly (white): 

Rnd 1: 6 SC into the magic ring. 

Rnd 2: 6 INC = 12 SC 

Rnd 3: (3 INC, 3 SC)*2 = 18 SC 

Rnd 4: 1 SC, INC, 2 SC, INC, 5 SC, INC, 2 SC, INC, 4 SC = 22 SC 

Cut the yarn, leaving a tail for sewing, fasten off. 

Sew to the front, approximately in the middle of the height. 

Ears (white, brown), 2 pcs: 

Start crocheting with white yarn 

Rnd 1: 6 SC into the magic ring. 

Rnd 2: 6 INC = 12 SC 

Rnd 3: (3 INC, 3 SC)*2 = 18 SC 

Make a SS, cut the yarn, fasten off. 

Crochet exactly the same brown part, do not cut the yarn. 

Fold the pieces with the wrong sides together and bind them with brown yarn through both edges of SC, keeping the white side towards you = 18 SC 

Make a SS in the first stitch of the round, do not cut the yarn. Crochet a round of SS, inserting the hook under the front left loop of the brown row (it is quite visible and easy to catch) = 18 SS. Again, make a SS in the first stitch of the round, cut the yarn, leaving a tail for sewing, fasten off and thread through the nearest loop to bring to the brown side of the ear. 

Sew the ears on the sides, approximately in the middle of the height, stepping back 3 SC from the muzzle. Sew separately from each side. 

3 rows 

Legs, arms (brown), 4 pcs: 

Rnd 1: 6 SC into the magic ring. 

Rnd 2: (INC, 1 SC)*3 = 9 SC 

Rnd 3: (INC HDC 4 in 1, SS)*2, INC HDC 4 in 1, 4 SC = 15 

Rnd 4: (DEC HDC 4 in 1, SS)*2, DEC HDC 4 in 1, 4 SC = 9 

Stuff the leg. 

Rnd 5: (DEC, 1 SC)*2, DEC, SS = 6 

Finish stuffing, cut the yarn, leaving a tail ≈ 130 cm, pull to close the hole. 

Pull out the end of the thread from the side of the tightening. From the other side, insert the hook, catch the end of the thread and pull out a loop about 30 cm long. 

≈ 30 cm 

≈ 60 cm 

Crochet the leg – 12 chains in double crochet, the long end is our main yarn (the beginning of the thread on the diagram), the loop (the end of the thread on the diagram) is auxiliary. 

Do not undo the loop, so the thread remains in two folds. 

Do not secure the end of the thread, just pull out the tip. 

If desired, you can crochet a tail with the same chain, our monkey doesn’t have a tail. 

Attach the arms-legs with the remaining ends of the thread to the body. The legs are at the bottom around the tightening, the arms are on the sides ≈ 1 row from the neck. Tie the ends of the threads with a knot and hide them in the body. 

Sew the eyes right above the muzzle, slightly inward. Sew with 2 stitches of embroidery thread doubled, that’s enough. Pull the thread tight (but gently) with each stitch to make the bead fit tighter. Sew the nose in the middle ≈ 2 rows from the edge of the muzzle. 

≈ 2 rows 

Using black floss in 6 strands, embroider the mouth with backstitches. Make the seam between the rows, stepping back 2 rows from the nose. 

Using black floss in 6 strands, embroider the navel with regular cross stitches. 

Attach a cord to the crown. 

THE MONKEY IS READY!
