Not all monkeys likes bananas.

The cushion is knitted in the round from the bottom up. Casting on with a beaded ribbing, the main body has three complete Chimp repeats, framed by rows of delicious bright cherries.

The cast off edge (top of cushion) is seamed using a three-needle bind off.

A zipper is sewn into the cast on edge when knitting is complete.
