Inspired by traditional sock monkeys, this guy sits approximately 8 inches high. The only seaming involves stitching the ears and horns into place. Limbs are attached as the pattern is completed. This is a weekend project.

Yardage and specific yarn requirements are available in the pattern.

Useful techniques
Sock Knitting
Provisional or Turkish Cast On
Three Needle Bind Off (we use a similar technique which will be easier to understand if you know this technique)

A point to keep in mind when “consolidating” stitches. Its just a variation of the three needle bind off but instead of binding off the stitches completely you leave them live on the needle.

You can substitute the Turkish cast on with a provisional or long tail cast on but you’ll have to pick up stitches once you complete row 15.

Please please, if you have trouble, email me before posting frustrated comments. The techniques are not common used and most people need more info. I am quick to respond and have been become very good at walking people through it. Also if I’ve used a technique that you know by another name, please let me know, so that I can make this pattern more user friendly.
Thank you

For stripes, I recommend a self striping yarn. Color changes become tedious as this project progresses.
