Lychee the Funmigurumi Smoochies Monkey

We have been having fun with our Smoochies series. This is our last toy of this series. Lychee is a smaller toy, appropriate for babies and tots. Little arms can easily hug her places. If you want a Lychee for a boy, all you have to do is substitute the pink for blue and not add the bow at the top of his head. Have fun!
