*Miss Monkey* free pattern

Hello,
I finished my pattern and I have to say that after awhile writing down patterns is actually quite hard.
Meet little Miss Monkey, I made her a doctor since my Mint Village doesn't have one already.

But now for the pattern:

You need:

Brown yarn (I used Menita Cotton Dream)

White yarn or lighter brown yarn

DPNs to match the yarn and gauge ( I used 2,5mm needles)

Stuffing

Safety eyes

Oddments of light brown, red and pink yarn

(Felt or yarn for the nose piece)

Legs (make 2):

Cast on 9sts

1st row: P1 row

Next row: K1, *m1,k1* to the end. P1row

Next row: K1, *m1,k1* to the end.

St-st 5 rows.

Next row: K7,k2tog 3 times, skpo, k3, k2tog 4 times, k7. P1 row

Next row: K4, k2tog 3 times, skpo, k1, k2tog 4 times, k4. P1 row

Next row: K3, k2tog 2 times, k3tog, k2tog 2 times, k3. P1 row

In the beginning of next row k2tog (you should have 10sts). You can knit the rest of the leg flat or i-cord. I tried both ways and I think i-cord is quicker.

St-st 48 rows (or as many as you want, depending on the length of the leg)

Cast off.

Cast on 26 sts. P1row

Next row: K1, *m1, k5* to the end. P1row

Next row: K2, *k2tog, k3* to the end. P1row

Next row: K2, *k2tog, k2* to the end. P1row

Next row: K2, *k2tog, k1* to the end. Cut yarn and pull it through the remaining stitches.

Head:

Cast on 13 stitches. P1row:

Next row: K1, *m1, k1* to the end. P1 row

Next row: K1, *m1, k4* to the end. P1 row

Next row: K3, *m1, k4* to the end. P1 row.

Make 2 sts at the beginning and the end of next row. (You add 4 stitches in total this row, and should have 42 stitches)

St-st 17 rows

Next row: K2, *k2tog, k2* to the end. P1 row

Work as an i-cord (or flat if you prefer) about 36 rows. Cast off.

Ears (make 2):

Work in g-st.

Cast on 8sts. Knit 2 rows.

Next row: K2tog, k4, k2tog.

Next row: K2tog, k2, k2tog.

Next row: K2tog 2 times.

Cut yarn and pull it through remaining stitches.

Finishing:

Legs: Stuff and sew the feet. If you knitted the piece flat, sew the back seam (don't stuff). Make a knot to the leg (as a knee). It should look like this:

Arms: Stuff and sew the palm. Make a knot in the middle of the arm (as an elbow).

Head: Sew the back seam (and add safety eyes, you can also embroider eyes after you've stuffed the head). Stuff head.

Body: Sew the back seam and stuff.

Sew legs, arms and head to the body. Sew ears to the head.

Cut a round piece of (diameter felt for nose piece. (You can also knit or crochet this piece if you want). Sew below the eyes. Embroider nose and mouth to the piece.

You can add a tail if you want.

Tail:

Cast on 5sts. St-st about 5cm, cast off. Make a knot to the end and attach tail to the body.

Bag:

Needles size 3mm and white yarn.

Cast on 12 sts. St-st about 7,5cm cast off.

Fold the piece to look like a bag and sew the sides. I corcheted the bag's handle and embroidered the little red cross on it. 

My little brother calls her Peso, because of this TV-series.

Happy knitting! I hope to see many cute monkeys in the future.
