Monkeys. The symbol of new 2016 year

The finished monkeys are approximately 5,9 ’’ ( 15cm ) tall.

Materials needed:
• 4 double-pointed needles in a size suitable for the yarn weight you are using. I recommend using needles a size or two smaller than the yarn calls for, to produce a firm fabric. İ used size US 2½ (3mm) and US 1½ (2,5mm) needles.

• Any colors of yarn for monkeys. I used DMC Wooly / 100% cotton; 50gr – 155m. /

• Stuffing of your choice

• Yarn needle

• Stitch holder

• 2 Pair of black plastic eyes ( 2mm beads )

All rows are worked in the round, this helps avoid ugly seams .
