Latest noteProgress 100% Date Sep 11, 2024 Project Mood 🎉 I love this pattern! First of all, the actual pattern is well written and easy to follow. It even mentioned possibly needing to move the arms, which is a great note to add for beginner or intermediate crocheters when crocheting arms or legs onto the body. However, the arm placement written ended up being perfect for me. I also love that you can make him a briefcase! I decided not to yet since I foresee it going missing unless I sew it on, but I plan on making it once I get the perfect yarn. I would like the say that it is also very nice that this is mostly low-sew minus the hat and ears. Arms and legs are always most annoying for me to sew on personally and I love when there's none of it! The only change I personally made was making the hat smaller, but that was simply because a smaller hat would look sillier. My boyfriend loves monkeys and he loves when animals have silly costumes. I've been making a lot of trick or treat animals and he has been saying I need to make a monkey. I made this for him because I know a little business hat would be perfect and he is OBSESSED!! He isn't a big stuffed animal snuggler besides one soft donkey he has, but this has joined the donkey even though it's small. He says it's his donkey's little friend! TLDR: I love this pattern, it's adorable, and doesn't have too much sewing. Pretty pumped that it was free.
