Monkey crochet pattern

This is mainly made in rounds, with some bits in rows.
This measures about 11cm tall and 6cm wide, when made with double knit yarn or about 15cm tall and 10cm wide, when made with aran yarn.
When I make this Monkey I use the Mocha and Parchment shades of Stylecraft yarn, but any two that go well together would work (Dark Brown and Camel also work well).
