Pattern Difficulty
The monkey toy is knitted in the round, adding an engaging dimension to the project. This pattern is recommended for Advanced Beginner Knitters looking to enhance their skills while enjoying a fun and rewarding knitting experience.
Materials Needed:
To create this adorable monkey toy baby blanket, you will need the following materials:
- Pair of US 10 (6mm) knitting needles for the blanket.
- For the monkey toy: 4 double-pointed needles in a size suitable for the yarn weight you choose. It’s recommended to use needles a size or two smaller than the yarn calls for; for this pattern, US 6 (4 mm) needles work well to produce a firm, durable fabric.
- 500 grams of light sandy lilac yarn for the blanket. I used Nako Sport Wool, which is made of 25% wool and 75% acrylic (100g = 120m).
- 100 grams of violet and light cream yarn for the monkey toy. Again, I opted for Nako Sport Wool with the same fiber content as above.
- Two black buttons (13 mm) to add delightful facial features to the monkey toy.
- Toy stuffing to give the monkey its cuddly form.
- A yarn needle for sewing and finishing touches.
- A stitch holder to keep your stitches organized while you work.
With these materials and the detailed instructions provided in the pattern, you will be well on your way to crafting a charming and functional baby blanket that features a lovable monkey.
