Amigurumi Grape Ape Monkey Cal - Part 3

26/7/2015

Comments

 
Amigurumi Grape Ape Monkey Cal - Part 3 via @beckastreasures / Let's start Grape Ape's body...
Welcome to the 3rd Part of the Amigurumi Grape Ape Monkey CAL! Today we are going to crochet Grape Ape's body and join in the legs, tail and arms as we go along...

Are you just joining us today? Be sure to check out Amigurumi Grape Ape Monkey CAL Part 1, where we go over the pattern notes, abbreviations and gather our supplies.

Already completed this step? Move on to Amigurumi Grape Ape Monkey CAL Part 4 (link will activate on Thursday, July 30th, 2015), where we will crochet the muzzle, or check out the full schedule for this CAL below...

This pattern is copyrighted to Rebeckah Ferger of www.rebeckahstreasures.com. It is for personal use only.  No part of this pattern may be copied or distributed in any way. If you sell what you make from this pattern, please credit me as the designer. All rights reserved, 2015.

REMINDER: Side facing you as you crochet equals the WS of work. Crochet in continuous rnds.

Monkey Body Instructions:

You have 2 options for crocheting the body. You can either crochet the body normally and attach the limbs (arms,  legs, tail) via sewing later, OR you can save time and incorporate the limbs into the body as you crochet. Further instructions for each are included below...
Make 1

*Use MC...

   rnd 1:  sc 6 into a magic circle (6 sts)
   rnd 2:  sc 2 into each st around (12 sts)
   rnd 3:  [sc, sc 2 into next st] x 6 (18 sts)
   rnd 4:  [sc 2, sc 2 into next st] x 6 (24 sts)
   rnd 5:  [sc 3, sc 2 into next st] x 6 (30 sts)
   rnd 6:  [sc 4, sc 2 into next st] x 6 (36 sts)
   rnd 7:  [sc 5, sc 2 into next st] x 6 (42 sts)
   rnd 8:  [sc 6, sc 2 into next st] x 6 (48 sts)

OPTION 1: Sew the legs and tail to the body later.

rnd 9-14:  sc 48 for 6 rows, cont to rnd 15

TIP for Sewing Legs & Tail to Body:

Use a scrap piece of yarn to mark st sps #7-#14 (this marks the right leg placement), #28-#35 (this marks the left leg) & #43-#47 (this marks the first row of tail) of rnd 9.

Use another to mark st sps #43 & #47 (this marks the next row of tail placement) of rnd 10.

Use one more to mark st sps #43-#47 (this marks the final row of tail placement) of rnd 11.

OPTION 2: Attach limbs as you crochet: Always insert hook into body sts before inserting hook into the joining pieces.

rnd 9 (leg & tail attachment rnd): sc 6 over first sts of body. Then, holding the right leg on the back side of the body sts with top of leg sts pressed tog and toe facing front of work (toe points away from stitch marker) – you will work through 3 sts at a time, with hook going through the body st first then through both st sps on the leg, sc over next 8 sts of body tog with st sps of the leg – attach to st sps #10 & #12 of this leg first, followed by st sps #9 & #13 and so on; ending with st sps #3 & #1 (st sps #11 & #2 of the legs are left unworked), sc in the next 13 sts of the body only. Rep for left leg over next 8 sts of body tog with st sps of left leg – attach to st sps #1 & #3 of this leg first, followed by st sps #18 & #4 and so on, ending with st sps #12 & #10, sc in next 7 sts of body only. With top opening of tail on the back side of body sts, sc over next 5 sts of body tog with 5 sts of the tail (I like the first tail sts attached to the body to be # 3, #2, #1, #12 & #11, but it doesn’t make a difference which ones you start with), sc 1 over rem body st (48 sts).

rnd 10 (tail attachment rnd): sc 42 over first sts of body, sc next st of body tog with first avail st of tail, sc 3 over next 3 sts of body only, sc next st of body tog with last avail tail st, sc 1 over rem body st.

rnd 11 (tail attachment rnd): sc 42 over first sts of body, sc next 5 sts of body tog with last 5 sts of tail, sc 1 over rem st.

rnd 12-14:  sc 48 for 3 rows, cont to rnd 15

Continue crocheting the body normally... 

   rnd 15:  [sc 6, sc2tog] x 6 (42 sts)
   rnd 16:  [sc 5, sc2tog] x 6 (36 sts)
   rnd 17-18:  sc 36 for 2 rows
   rnd 19:  [sc 4, sc2tog] x 6 (30 sts)

OPTION 1: Sew the arms to the body later.

   rnd 20:  [sc 3, sc2tog] x 6 (24 sts)

TIP for Attaching Arms to rnd 20 of Body:

Remember to insert your hook into both back lps of the sts for the sc2tog before inserting hook into the arm sts. Then, work st normally.

OR if sewing arms onto body later, use a scrap piece of yarn to mark st sps #4-#9 (this marks the right arm placement), & #16-#21 (this marks the left arm) of rnd 20 of body.

OPTION 2: Attach arms as you crochet: Always insert hook into body sts before inserting hook into the joining pieces.

   rnd 20 (arm attachment rnd): [sc 3 over first sts of body, with top of arm sts pressed tog and on the back side of the body sts (hand tip points towards body), sc2tog next 2 sts of body tog with st sps #6 & #7 of arm, sc 3 over next 3 sts of body tog with st sps #5 & #8 / #4 & #9 / #3 & #10 of arm (respectively), sc2tog next 2 sts of body tog with st sps #2 & #11 of arm, sc next st of body tog with st sps #1 & #12 of arm, sc 2 over next 2 sts of body, sc2tog next 2 sts of body] x 2 (24 sts)
Continue crocheting the body normally...

   rnd 21:  [sc 2, sc2tog] x 6 (18 sts)

Stuff body...

   rnd 22:  [sc, sc2tog] x 6 (12 sts), sl st join to first st of rnd, f/o with long tail (will be used to attach body to head later)
