This is a great way to use up scraps of yarn and you end up with an adorable toy for a special child. I can see knitting up an entire troop of little monkeys in different colors to donate to a children's project. Imagine the smiles on those little faces when their new friends arrive. The worsted yarn is held double to knit this project so you will end up with a nice dense fabric that sure to hold up under lots of loving.

Knitted Tucker recently (I called him Pongo) for a new baby and was pleased with result, although he was much bigger than anticipated (my fault - he was, from memory, about 16" tall and although dimensions aren't given on pattern, I could have calculated since his legs alone are 8" long!) I haven't worked out how to put a photo on the site - sorry. Used UK Woolcraft New Fashion Double Knitting and size 3.25mm needles. Only needed 2 x 100g balls of main colour, 1 x 100g of lighter shade for face/hands/feet (winding some off ball by hand) + scraps of colours for scarf and jacket. Only problem was sml mistake in Jacket...should read: Shape armholes: k8, bind off 2 stitches, k10, bind off 2sts. Working on next 8 sts only, k 9 rows. I gave him a big smile too! :)
