I made some changes to a plush monkey amigurumi toy that I shared years ago and I enriched the crochet pattern a little more with the visuals used by the designer for easier understanding. You can basically make the crochet monkey using two different colors, but you need to use black yarn for the monkey’s eyebrows, mouth and nose. You will also immediately notice that the toy is tightened, especially in the area where the eyes are.
Velvet Monkey Toffee Crochet Pattern
However, do not forget that the muzzle of the toy is crocheted in a different piece and then sewn onto the monkey’s face. This is why the toy’s face looks so realistic. Without further ado, let’s take a look at the updated version of the crochet monkey pattern. I translated the crochet monkey pattern from Russian and spent a lot of time on it. I hope you like the toy and the crochet pattern.
