Bring the classic nursery rhyme to life with this interactive Five Little Monkeys Jumping On The Bed knitting pattern; perfect for preschool play and storytelling fun.

This six-page knitting pattern is bundles of fun to make. The cheeky little monkeys are the stars of the show and they double as finger puppets! Their arms, legs, and tails are cleverly knitted into the main body for speedy, fuss-free knitting.

The bed is worked in one long piece and transforms into a delightfully bouncy prop. Who wouldn’t want to jump on a bed like that?

The doctor, complete with white coat, stethoscope, and a comb-over hairdo, looks stern, but despite his repeated warnings, he can’t stop the fun.

The play set is a joy to knit. It’s made with Stylecraft Special DK, worked flat on two needles, and written in English with no charts. There’s a helpful video on YouTube showing the technique for the monkeys’ arms, legs, and tails. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gSEd38KgdI

It’s a great stash-busting project and a brilliant way to bring storytelling to life.

Designed for interactive play, this Five Little Monkeys Jumping On The Bed knitting pattern is perfect for early years educators, parents, and anyone who loves characterful crafts.

The play set is one size and designed to fit adult hands.

The pattern will be available for digital download immediately after purchase, so you can start knitting right away!
