Matching Monkey

A few months back, I posted about some fleece blankets that I made for my kids.  Since then, I’ve been working on making some matching stuffed animals to go with them.  First I did a monkey, and soon I’ll finish a penguin.

This monkey has really long legs and arms and tail that are great for tying together to have him hang on to things, just like a monkey would.  His face, hair and ears match the face on the applique of the green blanket.

I used Lion Brand Homespun yarn in Barley and Cream. It turned out way cute and he’s good for snuggling.  This was a gift for my son, and my daughter keeps reminding me that I need to finish the penguin for her!
