This pattern file contains full instructions for knitting and finishing off a little monkey with 2 versions of a spotted dress (one using texture and the other using colour-work) with knitted on knickers and shoes. The pattern has over 50 detailed step-by-step photographs along with full pattern instructions and tips for stuffing, seaming and finishing neatly.

Please note that this project is not a quick or simple knit. It takes around 14 hours to make and finish this monkey and just under half of that time is spent on the finishing off. There are lots of separate pieces which require seaming and sewing and if you are looking for something fast and easy you would probably be better off finding a different pattern. That said this PDF file will give you all of the information that you need to knit the little monkey pictured.

The pattern is written for knitting flat on two needles and is seamed at the end. It is suitable for intermediate knitting skills.
