Join us in the toy department! Enjoy 2 nights of monkey business as Mara walks you through how to complete your very own Knit Monkey.  Attach eyes and a mouth and watch your monkey come to life!  This is an excellent foundation pattern to continue on with other seamed or seamless toys.

Pattern & Safety eyes included!

We will be using the Jacobus pattern for this workshop. The pattern is included in the class, but you can check it out on Ravelry for yarn amounts for the weight of yarn you choose.

Materials

  • Please bring the following to class: Yarn, Needles appropriate for the yarn you choose, stuffing and a darning needle.

  • Notes about yarn from Ravelry listing:
    You can knit Jacobus in whatever yarn you want, both monkeys on the second picture are from the same pattern.

    For the smallest one I used 30 grams of fingering weight sock yarn for the main colour and 10 grams for the face, hands and feet, knit with needles 1,5mm (000). It measures 20cm (8 “).

    Using DK/worsted yarn, you need 50 grams MC and about 20 grams CC, use needles 3 or 4 (3mm or 3,5mm). Your Jacobus will measure 35cm/14”.

    For a large monkey, use aran or bulky, about 75 grams MC and 25 grams CC, needles 4mm-5mm, 6-8, and Jacobus measures 50 cm, 20”.
