Make your own crochet orangutan + hammock!

Pattern details:

• Written using US crochet terms

• Skill level: intermediate - however this comprehensive pattern contains step-by-step instructions, lots of photos and how-to tips for those who need them, so an advanced beginner can follow along too :)

• Designed and tested for DK yarn and a 3.5mm hook (+ 6mm hook for hammock) but in theory it should be suitable for other yarn types so crocheters can experiment if they wish

• The pattern demonstrates how to create elbow and leg bends and pouting lips, and you can choose to use a wire brush to make your orangutan fuzzy

• Arms are crocheted in; other features are sewn on, with detailed instructions for positioning
