Original Little Bgfoot Monkey Free Crochet Pattern


UPDATE! May 2014.. I revised this little monkey pattern, made it a bit bigger and the head and body all one piece. For the updated pattern go  here . To make the little monkey as pictured above, scroll down this page.

st = stitch
sc = single crochet
2tog = 2 stitches together
ch1 = chain one
sl st = slip stitch
BLO = Back Loops Only

Special notes:
I worked in continuous rounds with a 3.75mm hook and worsted weight yarn. Have any questions or if you come across a mistake in the pattern please leave a message in the comment section below. This pattern will give you a monkey about 5 inches tall depending on your choice of yarn and hook size.

HEAD with main color:

Remember if you use safety eyes to put them in after you make the eye patches and before closing up the head.

1) magic circle with 6sc (6)
2) 2sc in each st (12)
3) 1sc then 2sc in next st (18)
4) 3sc in first st, 1sc in next 8st, 3sc in next st, 1sc in last 8st (22)
5) 1sc in each st
6) 2sc in first st, 1sc in next 10st, 2sc in next st, 1sc in last 10st (24)
7-10) 1sc in each st for 4 rows

stuff head while pushing the stuffing into the sides of the head as you stuff. Please read tip under row 13 before continuing on with row 13.
13) 2tog 6times (6)
Finish off

TIP - If you use safety eyes, they need to be put in after your eye patches are sewn on. If you use yarn for the mouth, put that in before sewing muzzle on the face. The muzzle can be partially sewn in place then stuffed to make things easier as well.

MUZZLE with alternate color:
1) magic circle with 6sc (6)
2) 3sc in the first st, 1sc in next 2st, 3sc in next st, 1sc in last 2st (10)

  1. Hi Sharon,

    These monkeys are so adorable!

    I'm really tempted to make these for one of my daughter's classes, but I'm not sure if I'll have the time to complete them before the end of the school year?

    Regardless I'll be making at least one of them. They are so adorable. Thanks for sharing the pattern.

    Happy Mother's Day!

      I think once you make one of them you'd find them really quick. Although, I know time is limited when you have kids, lol I could have all the time in the world and still no time to do anything if that makes sense.. but I wouldn't change that for anything :)

      Thanks for the message!

  15. Hi Sharon,
    Awesome Monkey! and animals. My girls love monkeys, they are 3 & 1/2 yr old twins. So its taken me 10 days to whip one up with no prior experience..and of course it shows. THANK YOU for your online tutorials! However, my crochet has improved 500% I started with the head, body, legs, arms then tail. WOW the arms and tail almost look correct! She's over stuffed, head is funny looking, one leg is bigger then the other, one ear looks like I've put it on back to front! Doesn't matter, Piper loves it even more! I just have to sew a skirt onto it for her.. I'll send you a pic, somehow! I'm pretty happy with my first effort, you wait for the next one!

    1. Hello Bianca,

      I can't tell you how happy your message makes me! When I first started to crochet I just wanted to make nice things for my kids and had no one to help me work through patterns. At times I had to give up on a project I was working on because I just didn't understand and that was very frustrating. Now that I make my own patterns I try very hard to make everything as easy as can be for all those who are learning :)

      Thank you very much for the most awesome feedback, I sure do appreciate it. This was a great way to start the day!

      All the best to you and yours and of course, Happy Crocheting!!

  19. I was so glad to find this pattern; I wanted to make a monkey plushie to send to my friend for Christmas. I started this afternoon and by bedtime I had a finished monkey! It looks a little wonky as it's my first time ever actually crocheting anything, and it's twice the size it should be because I used thick yarn & a bigger hook but it's definitely monkey-like. XD thank you for your patterns!

  24. My daughter is 10 and has started crocheting. I came across the monkey on youtube and she has so far done the head, body and one leg. I just came across this website today so she hasn't seen any of the other patterns yet. She is going to flip! Thank you so much, she is having so much fun. One question I have for you is when you reduce in the feet are there suppose to be large gaps or is she doing something wrong? I notice yours gaps a bit too but it seems to be alittle tighter than hers.
    Thank you for all your hard work!

    Replies
    1. Hello Mike! I'm so happy to hear your daughter has picked up crochet and using my pattern to start with, so awesome! I crochet rather tightly using worsted weight yarn (medium #4) and a 3.75 mm hook(US) I believe the hook size would help reduce the gap size along with crocheting a little tighter, however, there will be some gap and that's completely normal. I hope that helps! And thank you so much for the message it was great hearing from you.

      Don't hesitate to message me again if there's anything else I can help with :)

  25. Hi Sharon, thank you so much for sharing this fabulous pattern. I have just made this cute little monkey and never having really crocheted before (except granny squares)found your instructions really easy to follow. My daughter has now put in an order for the pig and lion. Can I ask if you have a pattern for an owl anywhere? I have put a picture on my blog with a link to your pattern. Hope you don't mind. You can find it here Debs xx

    1. Hi Debs! I don't mind at all. Your monkey is perfect, you really did a great job! Love his button eyes too. If you get the chance I would love to see him posted on my facebook page, Amigurumi Freely. If you do share him there I will put him in my newest album featuring other peoples works and add a link to your blog there.

      I don't have an owl pattern of my own but I do have 2 patterns pinned to a Bird Board on Pinterest. I will be pinning more as I find them. I personally check every pin for spam. The link to the bird board is here http://pinterest.com/amigurumifreely/free-bird-crochet-patterns/

    1. Hello L, well I wonder if you are looking through the right eyes, lol sometimes we are our worst critics. One thing I do regret is putting *easy" in the title.. I wish so much I could change that. It's easier for an advance beginner, one who is familiar with the basics and more importantly, familiar with sewing amis together. I'm glad you love the monkey! I bet he's cute as a button :)

      So glad to read your comment today, thank you for taking the time to write, I do appreciate it.

  33. Hello these 2 are soooo adorable have to make them but only 2 problems,firstly i only have either 3.50 hook and 4.00 so which to use plus can i double up DK wool i'm here in UK and our wool not as thick as ur worsted so just wondered!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Hi Wendy, either one of those hooks would work fine. I would use the 4.00 hook tho if you are doubling up on the yarn. If doubling the yarn gives you thicker than worsted then a 5.00 hook would work even better. The only thing that will happen is you will get a slightly larger monkey.

      Keep me posted on how it works out for you :)

  37. Hi Sharon,

    thank you very much for this pattern, I made one of those cute monkeys last Sunday and it looks great because of your step by step tutorial on youtube. I'm from Germany and have to admit that there aren't neither lots of useful free tutorials nor patterns in German. You inspired me to keep on crocheting, my next project will be the little big foot bear :-) So thank you very much and keep on posting videos and patterns, you do a great job! ;-)

    I want to make the monkey next, but before that i have a quick question.

    1. Hello there! Glad you like the patterns. I was shocked to find that I don't have the BLO abbreviation and meaning at the top of the pattern so I just corrected that to show BLO means back loops only.

  43. LOVED this pattern!! So cute!! :D I made a few changes while making it: 1) when I finished with the head, I went ahead and started on the body on round 2 of the body pattern to give the monkey more of a neck. 2) For the tail I made it all in the main color and a bit thinner and stuck a pipe-cleaner inside so you can mold the tail into different shapes :) 3) I made duplicate of the ears in the alternate color with the main color and attached them to each other with 6 slip stitches around the top, this makes adorable little ears! I made this monkey in one day and can't wait to give it to my friend as a gift tomorrow!! =D Thanks SO much!

    1. the eyes in the pictures in this written pattern are just yarn. The eyes I used in the video tutorial are oval buttons I found in a fabric store. The safety eyes I use in my other Little Bigfoot patterns are found online. Google, "Lisa & Ed's Eyes and More" and then click on animal eyes. Thanks for asking!

  50. Hi Sharon

    This pattern is gorgeous! Thank you for sharing.

    If I wanted to make a larger monkey, should I double-up on pattern instructions? Tried looking through your trial of questions and answers but no luck

    1. thank you :)
      I haven't tried that with this one but doubling the yarn should work ok and of course use a larger hook like a 5.00 or even a 5.5mm with 2 strands of worsted weight yarn. I'm actually just revising this one now.. got through the body last night and will go through the rest of the parts today. I will be revising a few things on this monkey to make them easier. Watch my blog for the new pattern :)
      And I should also add I have bigger monkey patterns. Look to the right hand side of this page for the label list and click on the label "Monkey" and that will bring up all the posts with monkey in them

  51. Hi...love the monkey. I recently started crocheting and have learned a lot. I have a question I hope you can help me with. I know how to do a magic circle, but have problems sometimes, so I found an alternate way with the chain 2. My question is...would it be the same to chain 3, join and make your stitches in the loop? I noticed some patterns call for chain 3, join, etc.

    1. Hi Yolanda, first of all I am currently revising this monkey and he is getting a new and improved video tutorial. It should be ready in the next few days, I'm actually editing the video tonight.
      I'm not sure what you mean by ch3 and work st into the loop. Normally you ch2 and work the st into the 2nd ch from the hook. I have a video tutorial on this. I can't link it here but scroll up the page and look to the right hand side for the label list. Click on the label "adjustable loop" and 4 posts will pop up. Click on the post that reads "adjustable loop chain 2 method".
      Hope that helps
