Animals are classic children’s toys, and this simian specimen would be a great addition to any toy box or shelf. It could even take the prime spot next to your little one at night!

NOTES

The pattern is worked using the amigurumi method. Work stitches in a continuous spiral without closing off each round with a slip stitch. It may help to use a stitch marker in the first stitch of the round, moving it up as you work.
