Thing 49

I was going to write about a jacket today, but a sick child at home changed my plans. I instead decided to crochet a get-well monkey.

I went to the same blog as yesterday, and used the Mini Monkey pattern. I used leftover yarn from the Frozen set: the acrylic from Anna’s hair and the cotton from Elsa and Anna’s heads. A 2.5mm crochet hook gave a reasonably tight stitch, though I’d probably use a 2mm the next time.

The pattern was all one piece, and pretty easy except for the colour changes (I never quite know how to do those).

And looked, it worked! Mini monkey did the job he was created to do: make Martina better.

Back to school tomorrow! Mini monkey can go too, tucked in a pocket.

    Wow and wow! I am inspired! I have no idea how you do the small crochet…my fingers hurt just looking at them. 🙂
    Love love the owls! I love anything owl too. The beading s so beautiful. You definitely have a good eye for color and combos of color.
    I still have the box that tu made for our wedding. It has a place honor on the first little table as you come in my front door. We use the spoons for special occasions as well.
    Keep up the get work! God bless!

      Aw, thanks, Marlies! That means a lot coming from an expert crocheter like you. And how cool that you still have that box! I’m hoping to make some more this year. I haven’t made any in years.
      I hope all is well with you and your lovely family and that we can see you this summer.

      P.S. I don’t advise making a micro-duck. Ever.
