Micky the Monkey

Micky the Monkey is ready to brighten your day with a delightful banana snack! This pocket-sized toy is perfect for carrying on all your adventures. Crafted primarily in soft stockinette stitch, Micky showcases skillful increases and decreases for thoughtful shaping. The charming face employs intarsia color-work, adding a fun twist to your knitting project. Designed by the talented Amanda Berry, known for her creations at @fluffandfuzz, this adorable monkey is knitted using high-quality acrylic DK yarns, ensuring durability and easy care.

The arms, legs, tail, and banana are crafted as i-cord pieces worked on two double-pointed needles (DPNs), giving Micky a unique texture and playful design. Meanwhile, the other body parts are knitted flat on single pointed needles, rather than in the round, making it an accessible project for knitters at various levels. This pattern is perfect for confident beginners and seasoned crafters alike. In addition to the techniques mentioned, you'll also practice essential skills such as casting on and off, the knit and purl stitches, as well as mastering increases and decreases, followed by seaming to complete your adorable monkey.

With Micky the Monkey, you'll not only create a delightful companion but also enhance your knitting skills while enjoying a rewarding crafting experience. Dive into this engaging project and bring a little whimsy into your knitting collection!
