the ear will curl slightly and will have a more "natural" look.

Place ear rounds together with wrong sides facing inward and right sides facing outward and sew all around, except bottom of ear.
Leave that open to insert into toy, to give more strength to the ear.
Sew eyes in place using leftover tails. Thread needle with a bit of Black and embroider 2 dots for nostrils in top center of muzzle, between eyes. Fasten off.

Fasten off. Weave in tials.

Funmigurumi Monkeyroo No. 6: Peanuts

Remember that I told you guys that before long I would wind up making the monkeys with colors all over? Well, I couldn't help myself with this one! I love the old-fashioned patchwork style toys, so whenever the pattern idea I have in mind allows it, I love to make them in that style. Peanuts is somewhat of a combination of that and sock monkey. This toy is also a stash buster, you can use up colorful scraps and make a fun toy to make a child happy! Peanuts is a chubby and stubby monkeyroo, not as "tall" as the others we have made.

"He who has given you life knows your need of food to sustain it. He who created the body is not unmindful of your need of raiment. Will not He who has bestowed the greater gift bestow also what is needed to make it complete?
Jesus pointed His hearers to the birds as they warbled their carols of praise, unencumbered with thoughts of care, for "they sow not, neither do they reap"; and yet the great Father provides for their needs. And He asks, "Are not ye of much more value than they?"
"No sparrow falls without His care,
No soul bows low but Jesus knows;
For He is with us everywhere,
And marks each bitter tear that flows.
And He will never, never, never
Forsake the soul that trusts Him ever." . . .
Lift HIM Up, 73.

Funmigurumi Monkeyroo 5: (Baby Rattle) Amapola

Amapolas are "poppies" in Spanish. The most common are huge red ones. This baby rattle is red and I thought Amapola was a great name for a monkey. Don't you think? It is a fun name and this is a fun toy. It is also very easy to make. I thought to name it "LoudLee" because it "rattles" really well while it bobs its head back and forth, but thought better of it when I ran into Amapola again.

Amapola is a "sockie" monkeyroo, in other words, a sock-monkey-style rattle. Hope you like her!

Sew them all together really well so handle will not come off! Fasten off. Weave in tail.

Bananas is my fourth monkeyroo (counting two baby rattles and LeeLoo) and I must admit, she's been the most fun to make!

Stuff muzzle. Measure to center and pin in place. Sew in place using Shocking Pink.
Tip: Push fiberfill stuffing downwards and make a row of tiny, invisible stitches two rows below the eyes to keep the stuffing in place. Otherwise, the filling will go up and the muzzle will look like a beak.
Tail- (Note: Stuff lightly as you go.) With Claret, ch 2. Rnd 1- 6 sc in second ch from hook, sl st to join rnd (6 sc made). Rnd 2- 2 sc in each sc around, (12 sc made).

Make 1 sc in each sc around. Rnds 51 to 52- 1 sc in each sc around. Fasten off Shocking Pink, leaving long piece of yarn to sew with.
Tip for sewing: Wedgewoods, as many variegated yarns is a slightly “thinner” worsted weight, and once the tial is stuffed, it will tend to “pull” at the crocheted fabric, bringing it down. To avoid this, make a “support disk” as follows: With Shocking Pink, ch 2. Rnd 1- Work 8 sc in second ch from hook, sl st to join rnd. Rnd 2- Make 2 sc in each sc around. Fasten off, leaving long strand to sew with. Insert support disk inside toy and sew all around the tail from the inside, and with invisible, tiny stitches, sew above and below the tail to reduce “pulling”. Fasten off.
Ears- Front of Ear: (Make 2)- With Shocking pink, ch 2. Rnd 1- Make 6 sc in second ch from hook, sl st to join rnd. Rnd 2- Work 2 sc in each sc around. Rnd 3- 1 sc in first sc, 2 sc in next sc, rep around. Fasten off Shorking Pink. Rnd 4- Join Wedgewoods. Make 1 sc in each of first 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc around. Rnd 5- 1 sc in each sc around. Fasten off.

Sew ears together by palcing 1 front and 1 back together (wrong sides facing) and sewing all around, except the bottom. Insert opening at the bottom into upper side of toy as seen in photos, and sew in place. Fasten off.
Stuff legs and sew in place. Fasten off. Sew arms in place. Fasten off. Stuff body and sew top. Fasten off.
You’re done!
