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