Mick the Monkey

Meet the playful and adorable Mick the Monkey, a cheeky chimp toy that’s perfect for knitters on the go! This charming pocket-sized toy, designed by the talented Amanda Berry from @fluffandfuzz, is an excellent companion for all your adventures. Crafted using single-pointed knitting needles (rather than in the round), Mick's unique design features a delightful i-cord tube tail worked on two double-pointed needles (DPNs). Whether you're looking to create an eye-catching gift or a lovable companion, Mick the Monkey is made from high-quality acrylic DK yarns (double knitting/light worsted) that are both soft and durable. The pattern skillfully incorporates intarsia colour-work for Mick’s expressive head, making it an engaging project for those looking to hone their color knitting skills. Ideal for confident beginners and experienced knitters alike, this pattern includes essential knitting techniques such as casting on and off, knitting (knits), purling (purls), increases and decreases, and the finishing technique of seaming. Get ready to bring Mick to life; he’s not just a toy, but a delightful project that combines creativity and fun. Unleash your inner knitter, and embark on the journey of creating your very own cuddly Mick the Monkey today!
