Marlowe Monkey

Introducing Marlowe, the cheeky little monkey knitting pattern that is sure to bring joy and cuddles to your home! This delightful pattern is designed to be knit in the round, featuring separate pieces that are expertly seamed together at the end. The only exception is Marlowe's charming ears, which are conveniently picked up and knit directly onto the head for a seamless look.

While gauge isn't strictly crucial for this project, I recommend using a needle size that is at least 2 sizes smaller than the one suggested for your yarn choice. This technique will help create a firmer fabric, ensuring that the stuffing remains securely inside and doesn't escape during playtime. For stuffing, the sample was filled with soft wool roving, but you may opt for toy stuffing if desired; just keep in mind that this may result in a slightly less sturdy and cuddly finished toy.

This fun and quirky monkey pattern is perfect for knitters of all skill levels, making it a great project for between experts and beginners. Whether you're creating a gift for a child or adding a whimsical touch to your own collection, Marlowe is a delightful choice that will warm hearts and inspire creativity. Dive into this knitting adventure today, and let Marlowe's charm brighten your crafting experience!
