Difficulty: Beginner Friendly - Suitable for those new to amigurumi.

Must know how to work in the round, increase, decrease & change colours.

This pattern uses the following U.S stitches & abbreviations:

st = stitch
sc = single crochet (double crochet for UK)
 sl st = slip stitch
2tog = 2 stitches together (decrease) 

Do not join rounds - work in a continuous spiral unless stated otherwise. It is a good idea to use a stitch marker to mark the
end of each round (You can use a bent paper clip or hair grip!) My notes, tips and assembly instructions are in purple italics.

Head:
In beige yarn:
Round 1) Magic Circle with 6sc (6)
Round 2)  2sc in each st (12)
Round 3) 1sc, 2sc in next st, repeat until end of the round (18)
Round 4) 2sc, 2sc in next st, repeat until end of the round (24)
Round 5) 3sc, 2sc in next st, repeat until end of the round (30)
Round 6) 4sc, 2sc in next st, repeat until end of the round (36)
Round 7) 5sc, 2sc in next st, repeat until end of the round (42)
Round 8) 6sc, 2sc in next st, repeat until end of the round (48)
Round 9) 7sc, 2sc in next st, repeat until end of the round (54)

Change to brown:
Round 10-18) 1sc in each st; for 9 rounds total (54)
Round 19) 7sc then 2tog, repeat until end of the round (48)
Round 20) 6sc then 2tog, repeat until end of the round (42)
Round 21) 5sc then 2tog, repeat until end of the round (36)
Round 22) 4sc then 2tog, repeat until end of the round (30)
Round 23) 3sc then 2tog, repeat until end of the round (24)
Round 24) 2sc then 2tog, repeat until end of the round (18)

Attach 10mm safety eyes. Mine are attached between rounds 5 and 6 and spaced 6 stitches apart for your reference. Make sure
the backs are "snapped" all the way down the stalk. If your monkey is for a small child it would be safer to embroider eyes using
black embroidery thread. Safety eyes are not always safe - despite the name! Start stuffing the head.

Round 25) 1sc then 2tog, repeat until end of the round (12)
Round 26) 2tog all the way around (6)

After last round: Slip stitch into the next stitch and fasten off. Weave yarn tail in and out the remaining 6 st and pull tight to
close. Knot the yarn and hide yarn tail inside the head.

Muzzle/Mouth:

In beige yarn:
Round 1) Magic Circle with 6sc (6)
Round 2)  2sc in each st (12)
Round 3) 1sc, 2sc in next st, repeat until end of the round (18)
Round 4) 2sc, 2sc in next st, repeat until end of the round (24)
Round 5) 3sc, 2sc in next st, repeat until end of the round (30)
Round 6) 4sc, 2sc in next st, repeat until end of the round (36)
Round 7) 5sc, 2sc in next st, repeat until end of the round (42)
Round 8-9) 1sc in each st; for 2 rounds total (42)
Round 10) 2tog all the way around (21)
Slip stitch into the next stitch and fasten off leaving a long tail for sewing. Stuff the muzzle fully and firmly and sew to the face
using a ladder stitch. If you are having trouble stuffing the muzzle try sewing it in place first, but before you sew all the way
around completely stop so you have a small open gap to stuff through. Stuff to a firmness you are happy with then continue
sewing to close the hole.

Round 2)  2sc in each st (12)

Round 4) 1sc in each st (18)
Round 5) 1sc then 2tog, repeat until end of the round (12)
Round 6) 4sc then 2tog, repeat until end of the round (10)

Slip stitch into the next stitch and fasten off leaving a long tail for sewing. Do not stuff ears. Push the 2 open edges of the last
round together and fold slightly to make a little ear - you will sew the open edge to the side of the monkey's head later.

After last round: Slip stitch into the next st and fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Stuff the feet of the legs lightly and
pinch the foot to make a "foot" shape. Do not over stuff the feet or you will end up with a large, round ball shape instead of a
little foot shape. Stuff the leg parts more firmly.

I know lots of people hate the sewing part of amigurumi. If you assemble your monkey in the following order you shouldn't have
any problems.

1. Sew the muzzle to the face (if you haven't already)

2. Sew the open edge of the ears to the head. Line them up with the monkey's eyes.
3. Sew the head to the body. 
4. Sew the arms to the body, they go directly under the head.
5. Sew the tail to the body. If you have wire in your tail sew around twice, once using a whip stitch and again using a ladder
stitch for strength.
6. Sew the legs to the body.
7. Embroider a face using brown embroidery thread.

How to attach the fez:

1. Put your hook through a stitch on your monkeys head where you want the fez to sit.
2. Take a long length of yellow yarn and double it over.
3. Pull the yarn through the stitch using your hook.
4. Pull the end of the yarn tails through the loop created to form a knot and secure the yarn to the head.
5. Pull both yarn tails through the top of the fez with a yarn needle.
6. Position the fez where you want it and knot the 2 yarn tails together at the top of the fez to hold it in place.
7. "Unravel" the threads of both yarn tails into separate little strings to make a tassle.
8. Tie a knot 3/4 of the way down to form a cute little hanging tassle.
9. Optional: Sew the fez to the head. I have not done this because I like it to look as if it's just sitting on his head. I
recommend sewing the fez to the head if your monkey is going to be played with.
