3 – 5 – 9 sc (3 rounds), fasten off leaving a small tail for sewing on 3 fingers from 4.
Don’t fasten off on the 4th finger; continue to crochet hand.
To the next 2 stitches after the loop where you finished crocheting the 4th finger and haven’t fastened off sew 2 stitches of the 2nd finger. Skip next 2 stitches of the 2nd finger. Sew 2 stitches of the 3rd finger to the next stitches of the 2nd finger. Sew with small yarn tails that you have left after fastening off.
You will have 3 fingers sewed in a row (2 stitches to 2 stitches) and 19 stitches to crochet the hand in.

12 – 33 – 10 sc (22 rounds), fasten off leaving a small yarn tail for sewing
Crochet two arms the same. When sewing them make sure that thumbs are turned forward and a little inwards. Don’t stuff the upper part of arms or stuff them very softly. Otherwise your monkey will not be able to hug you J

Insert the hook into the white loop that you have left and crochet around with the reverse stitch.
When you crocheted around all the edges fasten off leaving a small yarn tail. With a needle make a loop and fix it with a small knot. Sew small buttons. Weave in all the tails. Put the “socks” on your monkey’s legs.
Scarf
Crochet in rows. Fasten off after each row leaving a small yarn tail (about 2 inches). Join the next color to the row beginning also leaving 2-inch tails.
Crochet with a bigger hook size.

Take the scarf so that the right side is turned to you and white chains are up. Connect white yarn to the left ch and crochet one row with the reverse stitch in the unworked loops of white chains.
Cut 2 5-inch pieces of bright pink yarn and 2 5-inch pieces of light pink yarn. Fold them in halves and connect to the edges. Connect bright pieces to the edges of the light pink row and light pieces to the edges of the bright pink row. Cut the fringe on each side of the scarf to the same length.
That’s all! Your Monkey is finished and ready for hugging!
