Little Bigfoot Monkey Revised Pattern Video Tutorial

Little Bigfoot Monkey 2014,
Here is another pattern that's been revised, improved and
now comes with a full video tutorial. This is an older
pattern of mine from 2012. I did my best to keep the
original features that people loved but make some of the
parts easier. Like the feet and legs. Those are the same
but I decreased the rows in a way that will be easier for
the beginner. The muzzle is made completely different
and also there's an option for bigger ears. I also include 3
different options for the eyes in
the video tutorial so nobody will be stuck if they don't have safety eyes! Oh, and the head and body are now one
piece which means less sewing ~> yahoo!

Read me ~> Work in continuous rounds, do not join. I used Red Heart Super Saver and also Red
Heart Comfort yarn with a 4.50 mm hook. If you crochet more on the loose side then use a smaller
hook so you don't get gaps and stuffing showing through the stitches. Have any questions or if you
come across a mistake in the pattern please leave a message in the comment section below.

Read me ~> How to read the rows: Each row has a sequence as given below. Example: 1sc then
2sc in next st means repeat that sequence 1sc then 2sc in next st followed by 1sc then 2sc in next

st over and over to the end of that particular row. The number inside the parentheses ( ~ ) is the
number of stitches you should have at the end of that particular row.

Read me ~> It's a good idea to add in a marker at the end of row 2 and move that marker at the
end of every row. I just use a short length of yarn and pull it through the last stitch I put in at the
end of every row.

Supplies:
One lighter and one darker color of Red Heart Super Saver or Red Heart Comfort 100% acrylic yarn
4.5mm hook *use a smaller hook if you see gaps in your stitches
blunt end yarn needle for sewing
sharp end needle if doing embroidery and embroidery thread
scissors
100% polyester stuffing
felt, paint, buttons, or yarn for eyes
*optional ~ fabric tac (fabric glue) or invisible thread (if making the larger ears)
*optional ~ pipe cleaner to make tail poseable and help the monkey stand
This pattern uses the following stitches:
st = stitch
sc = single crochet
sl st = slip stitch
2tog = crochet 2 stitches together
f/o = finish off

Assembly:
If you assemble the doll in the order I give you then you will not have to worry so much about centering the
different parts as much.
1) Sew the arms on. These get sewn directly under the head
2) sew on the legs. How you sew the legs on is up to you. I wanted this monkey to be in a standing position so I

sewed them on in a way the doll stands up. View the video on how to do this at 1:10:03.UPDATE ~> I just added
a new video for an alternate way to sew on the legs right here
3) sew on tail
4) sew on the muzzle (top of muzzle should sit just above the 10th or 11th row).
5) add eyes to the eye patches then sew the eye patches to the head. ( video at 1:31:30)
6) sew on the ears (between the 8th and 12th row). Pin them in place before sewing them in helps. But again,
view the video for tips on sewing this part.

Monkey! If you did make a monkey please post pictures
