Chunky Monkey Toy

Knit Your Own Cuddly Chunky Monkey Toy with Big Ears!

This delightful knitting pattern provides you with detailed, step-by-step instructions to create an adorable chunky monkey toy in any colour stripes you desire. Perfect for knitters looking for a fun project, you'll only need a pair of 4mm straight knitting needles, a darning needle, two vibrant colours of DK yarn, a small scrap of grey yarn for the delightful features, and some soft toy stuffing to ensure your monkey is extra cuddly!

For the yarn, we highly recommend using King Cole Big Value Baby DK yarn in the lovely shade of PEACH (4066). You’ll require approximately one and a quarter of their 50g balls to bring your monkey to life, or you can opt for any other DK yarn in a similar peach hue that you prefer. To add some fun stripes, choose a small ball of contrasting colour DK yarn. For a lovely pink accent, we suggest Sirdar's Hayfield Bonus DK shade 992, but feel free to get creative—any DK yarn will work beautifully! A 25g ball of King Cole Dollymix DK is more than sufficient, and you can also use Marriner DK Midget 25g, which is the ideal size for this project.

This charming monkey, when completed, measures approximately 34cm tall, making it the perfect cuddly companion for children and adults alike. Ideal for confident beginners to intermediate knitters, this pattern is not just a project; it’s a wonderful way to express your creativity and love for knitting. Whether you’re making this monkey as a gift or a special treat for yourself, you’ll enjoy every stitch of this engaging knitting experience.
