Crochet the cutest monkey lovey with this free pattern – perfect for a handmade baby shower gift or a little one’s favorite cuddle buddy! This sweet lovey combines a soft, snuggly blanket with an adorable amigurumi-style monkey head and arms. The pattern uses worsted weight yarn in cream and two shades of brown. It works up to about 11.4″ tall and 20.5″ wide corner-to-corner. You’ll need 4mm and 5mm hooks, some stuffing, and optional 8mm safety eyes. The pattern is worked in continuous rounds, with simple shaping and color changes. It uses the lemon peel stitch for the blanket, which gives it a lovely texture. It’s listed as intermediate, but if you’re comfy with color changes and crocheting in the round, it’s totally doable for confident beginners!
