GILBERT AND BABY GEORGE THE GOLDEN MONKEYS
Introducing the latest creations from madmonkeyknits: meet Gilbert and Baby George, the adorable Chinese golden monkeys! These charming little creatures are a delight to knit, and yes, they truly do sport those vibrant blue faces that make them stand out. Gilbert is crafted using a variety of Eyelash yarns on 4 mm needles, reaching an impressive height of 44 cm. In contrast, Baby George, the adorable sidekick, is knitted primarily on 1.6 mm needles and stands at a cute 22 cm tall. Both monkeys are fully jointed, allowing for flexibility and the ability to swing from branch to branch, making them not only fun to knit but also interactive for play. If you're looking for a simpler project, the pattern also offers the option to create slightly easier non-jointed versions—perfect for beginners or those seeking a quicker knit. The Gilbert and Baby George Golden Monkeys knitting pattern can be purchased conveniently from Etsy, eBay, or directly from my website. Keep an eye out as Gilbert embarks on an exciting adventure to China shortly with my nephew, Alexander! Their journey will be documented with plenty of photos that you won't want to miss on my website, www.madmonkeyknits.com. While Baby George will be staying behind, I'm sure all my other monkeys will keep him company and provide the excitement he's missing out on. You'll find sample knits made from a variety of Fancy Yarn Eyelash, Stylecraft Gypsy, Ice Long Eyelash, and any DK yarn. For your convenience, suggested substitute yarns are provided below to help you create your very own golden monkeys. Start your knitting adventure today and bring Gilbert and Baby George to life in your home!
