ASSEMBLE
     I recommend pinning the pieces in place before sewing them to make sure you have them in the position you like best before sewing. (Most people like to use the yarn at the end of the finished pieces to sew them in place, but I personally like to use matching thread).
     TIP...For anything that I’m going to be using felt, I like to first sketch it out on a white paper and make a stencil of what I need. Then cut it out. Then tape the stencil to the felt and cut it out.

Note: at the end of the color changes it's a bit noticeable, I decided to make that side the front so I can cover those parts with the eye and overall flaps.
     FEET...try to find the position you like best. I place mine between round 17 and 18; approx. 0.50" apart. Only sew the 2 last rows from the feet (the flat area) to the body.

     FLAPS WITH STRAPS...place the front and back flaps between round 13 and 14. Leaving the straps unsew since they'll go over the arms.

     ARMS...there's no need to stuff them. Align them with the feet and place them on round 11 and 12. The straps will go over the arms. I recommend you sew the strap just above the arm so it won't slide down.

     EYES...place the eye or eyes between round 6 and 9 in the position you like best. You'll only be sewing through the white part (round 3), leaving the gray part unsew.

     Using black felt make 2 circles and another 2 using white felt, but make these much smaller. Place the black circles in the center of the brown section of the eyes. The white circles go on the top corner of the black circles.

     HAIR...with black yarn cut 2 strands (4" length each). Fold a strand in half and pass it through round 1 and pull through a loop, pull tight. Repeat with the second strand again on round 1. Trim them to the desired length.

     SMILE...using black embroidery floss or thread, embroider a smile however you like the possibilities are endless. You can also make the smile by surface slip stitching.

If you like this plushie, you might also enjoy making the Minion Earflap Beanie.

Monkey C2C Pillow

By Janet Carrillo "damn it Janet, let's crochet!"

SIZE/MEASUREMENTS
approx. 14"height x 14"length

MATERIALS
*Crochet hook size: 4.5mm (7)
*Worsted Weight Yarn: Chocolate (355yds), Ivory (110yds), Beige (65yds), Black (10yds) & White (2yds)
*16" by 30" fabric (for lining)
*Fiberfill

*Matching Thread

PATTERN NOTES - must read...
 *I used the corner-to-corner (C2C) method to crochet the graph.
 *This pillow is square so you don’t have to worry about increasing on one side and decreasing on the other. The square shape makes it less confusing if you are new to corner-to-corner crochet, like I am.
 *You'll find below the graph, written directions and color block directions to help you make this pillow. I include all 3 instructions since everyone has a different preference.
 *After you finish the graph below you will need to make a second piece for the back in a solid color (I used chocolate).

This is the back side of the pillow.

ASSEMBLE
     You can either sew the pieces together or single crochet them. If you're going to single crochet them together; attach the yarn at any point on the edge and a good way to keep your stitches even is to alternate between making 2 sc and then 3 sc along. Leaving one side open so you can line your pillow and stuff it.

     You would need to line your pieces or make a cushion so the fiberfill won’t show through and/or if you wash the pillow the fiberfill won’t come out. You can sew or glue the fabric in place. (Even if you decide to wash it, the glue won’t come undone. I have washed several beanies that I have made for my son and the embellishments have stayed intact.)

     Now you'll need to stuff your pillow moderately firm or to your liking. Continue to finish closing off the pillow. If you are single crocheting the pieces together, remember to slip stitch to the first stitch to give it an even finish. Finish off, secure and weave in the ends.

This pillow will go great with these and several other Monkey items that I have available.
