6. [3 sc, 1x inc.] 2x, 13 sc, [3 sc, 1x inc.] 3x, 16 sc, 1x inc. (56)
7. – 11. 5 rounds with 56 sc (= 280 in total)
12. [3 sc, 1x dec.] 2x, 13 sc, [3 sc, 1x dec.] 2x, 23 sc (52)
This round should end at the marked spot in picture 5 (arrow).
Continue to crochet the eye area in rows along the long side:
13. 1 tch, t, 18 sc, 1 tch, t (18)
14. – 16. 3 rows with [18 sc, 1 tch, t] (= each 18)
17. 1x dec., 14 sc, 1x dec., 1 tch, t (16)
Now crochet the bows for each eye, one after the other:

Restart in the next st of row 17 (picture 7) and repeat row 18 to 21 for the
second bow. (picture 8)
Crochet with sc around the eye area made in rows. Restart in one edge..
(pictures 9 and 10)
Stuff the snout, the part crocheted in continuous rounds, in shape. Then
attach the face with pins between round 16 and 39 to the head. The transition
of snout to eye area should be placed around round 25. Then sew the face to
the head and stuff while sewing. I glued the eye area with hot glue, so it’s
fixed. (pictures 11 to 13)
Now form the eyeholes and place the eyes:
Use some scissors, a chopstick or sth. similar to prepare two holes for the
pins of the safety eyes, between round 13 and 14 and with 6 st to the edge.
Then form the eye holes in the same place with sand colored yarn and a long
sewing needle.* (picture 14)
- Explanations at the end of the pattern. (page 23)
Cut two eye shaped pieces out of white felt and attach them behind the
safety eyes. (picture 15)
Place and glue the eyes in the prepared spots. (picture 16)
Form a mouth with a new sand colored thread between the lower round 3 and
4 of the snout and centered to the eyes.* (picture 17)

the head, with a 11 st distance on the top and lower edge to the face and a
12 st distance in the middle. (picture 22)
HAND/ARM (2x)
I will distinguish in left and right by attaching the thumb and crocheting the
shoulder at the hands and arms. I will explicitly mention these rounds.
HAND
Start crocheting the fingers as follows:
THUMB
Crochet in continuous rounds with a 4 mm crochet hook and in sand.
- 6 sc in MR (6)
- – 7. 6 rounds with 6 sc (= 36 in total)
Fasten off. Weave in the end. (picture 23)
FINGER (4x)
Crochet in continuous rounds with a 4 mm crochet hook and in sand.
- 6 sc in MR (6)
- – 8. 7 rounds with 6 sc (= 42 in total)
Fasten off and leave a tail at three fingers. I hid the tails inside the fingers.
Don’t fasten off at the last finger, finger 1 in the picture. (picture 23)
Insert a doubled and twisted peace of pipe cleaner in each finger and the
thumb so the monkey can hold his banana at the end. (picture 24)
Crochet the 4 fingers together as follows:
- 3 sc on the last crocheted finger (here: finger 1), 3 sc on the next
finger (finger 2), 3 sc on the next finger (finger 3), 6 sc on the last
finger (finger 4), 3 sc on finger 3, 3 sc on finger 2 and 3 sc on finger 1
(24) (pictures 25 and 26)
- 24 sc (24)
Sew the occurred little holes by using the tails of the fingers 2 to 4.
Continue crocheting: - [6 sc, 1x dec.] 3x (21)
- 21 sc (21)
- [5 sc, 1x dec.] 3x (18)
The thumb will be attached in the next two rounds. Here you have to
differentiate between left and right hand:
Left hand:
- 1 sc on the hand, 3 sc on both – hand and thumb at the same time
(picture 27) (these 3 st won’t be worked anymore), 14 sc on the
hand (18) - 1 sc on the hand, 3 sc on the remaining st of the thumb, 14 sc on the
hand (18)
Right hand: - 7 sc on the hand, 3 sc on both – hand and thumb at the same time
(picture 27) (these 3 st won’t be worked anymore), 8 sc on the
hand (18)
- 7 sc on the hand, 3 sc on the remaining st of the thumb, 8 sc on the
hand (18)
From here up to the shoulders both arms will be crocheted in the same way: - 9 sc, 1 sl.st (10)
This round isn’t crocheted to the end.
Fasten off. Weave in the end. (pictures 28 and 29)
Restart with mocca colored yarn in one FL at the outer side of the hand
(picture 30) and crochet as follows:
- 18 sc, in FLO (18)
Stuff the hand lightly in shape - – 32. 15 rounds with 18 sc (= 270 in total)
- [5 sc, 1x inc.] 3x (21)
- – 42. 9 rounds with 21 sc (= 189 in total)
Continue to crochet the shoulder in rows:
At first, you have to replace the beginning of the round. It has to be exactly
at the side. The shoulder will be parallel to the back of the hand and on the
same side. To do so, flatten the arm and add or remove the needed number of
stitches, so the beginning is in one line with the thumb. I removed 2 sc.
(pictures 31 and 32)
The first row of the shoulder differs between right and left in the tch at the
beginning of the row:
Left arm:
- 1 tch, t, 12 sc, 1 tch, t (12)
Right arm: - 12 sc, 1 tch, t (12)
Now both arms will be crocheted identically: - 1x dec., 8 sc, 1x dec., 1 tch, t (10)
- 1x dec., 6 sc, 1x dec., 1 tch, t (8)
- 1x dec., 4 sc, 1x dec., 1 tch, t (6)
- 1x dec., 2 sc, 1x dec., 1 tch, t (4)
- 2x dec. (2)
- Crochet around completely with sc.
Fasten off. Leave a tail for sewing. (picture 33)
Prepare two 30 cm wires as you can see in picture 34 and insert them into
the arms. Then stuff the arms in shape. (picture 35)
Sew the arms between round 38 and 45 to the left and right of the body. The
arms are pointing slightly to the front. Pay attention that the belly button is
centered to the arms. Finish stuffing while sewing. (picture 36)
Now you can sew the body between round 41 and 42 to the head. Finish
stuffing while sewing. (pictures 37 and 38)
FOOT/LEG (2x)
I will differentiate in left and right foot by attaching the fifth toe. I will
explicitly mention these rounds.
Crochet in continuous rounds and in rows with a 4 mm crochet hook, in sand
and mocca.
Start in continuous rounds and in sand.
Crochet the toes as follows:
TOE (5x)
- 6 sc in MR (6)
- – 7. 6 rounds with 6 sc (= 36 in total)
Fasten off and leave a tail at four toes. I hid the tails inside the toes. Don’t
fasten off at the last toe, toe 1 in the picture. You can stuff the toes lightly in
shape if you want. I did not. (picture 39)
Crochet 4 toes together as follows:
- 3 sc on the last crocheted toe (here: toe 1), 3 sc on the next toe (toe
2), 3 sc on the next toe (toe 3), 6 sc on the next toe (toe 4), 3 sc on
toe 3, 3 sc on toe 2 and 3 sc on toe 1 (24) (pictures 40 and 41)
- – 10. 2 rounds with 24 sc (= 48 in total)
Here also occurred little holes between the toes while crocheting them
together. Sew the holes using the tails of the toes 2 to 4. - [6 sc, 1x dec.] 3x (21)
- 21 sc (21)
- [5 sc, 1x dec.] 3x (18)
The 5th toe is attached in the next two rounds. Here you have to differentiate
between left and right foot.
Left foot:
- 9 sc on the foot, 3 sc on both – foot and toe at the same time (these
3 st won’t be worked anymore) (picture 42), 6 sc on the foot (18) - 9 sc on the foot, 3 sc on the remaining st of the toe, 6 sc on the
foot (18) (picture 43)
Right foot:
- 3 sc on both – foot and toe at the same time (these 3 st won’t be
worked anymore) (picture 42), 15 sc on the foot (18) - 3 sc on the remaining st of the toe, 15 sc on the foot (18)
Now both feet/legs are crocheted identically up to the end:
Continue in rows:
Crochet 4 sc, 1 tch and turn your work to get to the right beginning point.
(picture 44) - – 18. 3 rows with [12 sc, 1 tch, t] (= each 12)
19-6x dec., 1 tch, t (6)
20-3x dec., 1 tch, t (3)
21-Crochet 3 st together (1) (picture 45)
22-Crochet around the whole foot with 20 sc, start with 1 ch. (20)
If you don’t get 2{ st in this round, you can compensate the number
of stitches with inc./dec. in the next round. (picture 46)
Cc to mocca and continue in continuous rounds:
- 20 sc, in FLO (20)
Stuff the foot lightly in shape. - – 35. 12 rounds with 20 sc (= 240 in total)
- [3 sc, 1x inc.] 5x (25)
- – 42. 6 rounds with 25 sc (= 150 in total)
Continue in rows:
At first, you have to replace the beginning of the round if needed. It has to be
exactly at the side as you can see in picture 45. Mine was in the correct place
so there was no need to move it. The rows have to be on the same side of the
leg as the arch of the foot. To do so, flatten the leg and shift the beginning by
adding or removing the needed number of stitches.
Now crochet as follows:
- 1 tch, t, 13 sc, 1 tch, t (13)
- 1x dec., 9 sc, 1x dec., 1 tch, t (11)
- 1x dec., 7 sc, 1x dec., 1 tch, t (9)
- 1x dec., 5 sc, 1x dec., 1 tch, t (7)
- 1x dec., 3 sc, 1x dec., 1 tch, t (5)
- 1x dec., 1 sc, 1x dec. (3)
- Crochet around completely with sc.
Fasten off. Leave a tail for sewing. (picture 46)
Prepare two 20 cm wires as you can see in picture 47 and insert them in the
legs. Then stuff the legs in shape. (picture 48)
Sew the legs between round 10 and 19 to the left and right of the body, in one
line with its side. The legs are pointing to the front and the 5th toe up. Finish
stuffing while sewing. (pictures 49 and 50)
TAIL
Crochet in continuous rounds with a 4 mm crochet hook and in mocca.
- 5 sc in MR (5)
- 5x inc. (10)
- [1 sc, 1x inc.] 5x (15)
- – 45. 42 rounds with 15 sc (= 630 in total)
Stuff the tail in shape while crocheting these rounds. - 1x inc., 14 sc (16)
- 1x inc., 15 sc (17)
- 1x inc., 16 sc (18)
- 1x inc., 17 sc (19)
- 1x inc., 18 sc (20)
Fasten off. Leave a tail for sewing. Finish stuffing. If you want, you can also
insert a piece of wire inside the tail, so you can bend it in shape. (picture 51)
Sew the tail to the back between round 11 and 18 centered to the body.
(picture 52)
What would be a monkey without its bananas? I made a variation of bananas
in a small bunch, a peeled banana and a banana peel. It’s up to you, which and
how many bananas you make.
PEELED BANANA
Crochet in continuous rounds with a 4 mm crochet hook and in creme.
- 6 sc in MR (6)
- [1 sc, 1x inc.] 3x (9)

You can now arrange the bananas in the way you want. The monkey can hold
the peeled banana directly or you can put it in the banana peel. My monkey is
full of mischief. He plays with the banana peel.
Give your fancy full scope or you might get some inspiration from my pictures
- FORMING THE BELLY BUTTON, THE EYEHOLES AND THE MOUTH
BELLY BUTTON
Pierce with a new mocca colored thread and a long needle from the lower back in the
stuffed body. Get out in the front between round 18 and 19 and back inside the stitch
next to it. Pierce out through the same stitch of the beginning at the back. Pull both
ends at the same time so the belly button gets its form. Tie a knot and hide the tails
in the body.
EYEHOLES
Pierce with a new sand colored thread and a long needle from the neck end in the
head. Get out at the first eye in the prepared spots between round 13 and 14 of the
eye area and back in the stitch next to it. Repeat it directly for the second eye.
Pierce out through the same stitch of the beginning at the neck end of the head. Pull
both ends at the same time so the eyeholes get its form. Tie a knot and hide the tails
in the head.
MOUTH
Pierce with a new sand colored thread and a long needle from upper side in the rear
part of the snout. Get out between the lower round 13 and 14 of the snout and back in
two stitches next to it. These two stitches should be centered to the eyes. Pierce out
through the same stitch of the beginning at snout. Pull both ends at the same time so
the mouth gets its form. Tie a knot and hide the tails in the snout.
