Amigurumi Grape Ape Monkey Cal - Part 6

6/8/2015

Comments

 
Amigurumi Grape Ape Monkey Cal - Part 6 via @beckastreasures / Let's crochet Grape Ape's head...
Welcome to the 6th and final of the Amigurumi Grape Ape Monkey CAL! Today we are going to crochet Grape Ape's Head. Then, we're going to join her head to her body. At the end of this step, your monkey will be complete!

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? Share your finished Amigurumi Grape Ape Monkey with us for a chance to win free patterns. Learn more about this giveaway here (link will activate on Sunday, August 9th, 2015), 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 Head Instructions:

You have 2 options for crocheting the head. You can either crochet the head normally and attach the ears, eyes and muzzle via sewing later, OR you can save time and incorporate them into the head as you crochet. Both start and end the same. 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 3 into next 2 sts, sc 16] x 2 (44 sts)

OPTION 1: Crochet normally - Sew later...

   rnd 8-9:  sc 44 for 2 rows
   rnd 10:  sc 2, (sc 2 in next st) x 2, sc 20, (sc 2 in next st) x 2, sc 18 (48 sts)
   rnd 11-18:  sc 48 for 8 rows
   rnd 19:  [sc 6, sc2tog] x 6 (42 sts)
   rnd 20:  [sc 5, sc2tog] x 6 (36 sts)
   rnd 21:  [sc 4, sc2tog] x 6 (30 sts)
   rnd 22:  [sc 3, sc2tog] x 6 (24 sts)
   rnd 23:  [sc 2, sc2tog] x 6 (18 sts)

Stuff head...

   rnd 24:  [sc, sc2tog] x 6 (12 sts), sl st join to first st of rnd, f/o.

Sew head to body with the body’s tail using 2 whipstitches per st. Every few sts pull tight. First and last sts of body should line up with the last and first sts of head, respectively. Next, sew legs, tail and arms to body, and sew the muzzle, ears and eye patch to head. Weave in all ends.

TIP for Sewing Pieces to Head:

Use a scrap piece of yarn to mark st sps #10-#12 & 15-#17of rnd 8 (this marks the top of the eyes).

Use another to mark st sps #13-#20 of rnd 15 (this marks the bottom row for the eyes and the top row for the muzzle).

Use one more to mark st sps #9-#14 of rnd 21 (this marks the bottom row for the muzzle).

Ear Placement on Head:

rnd 9: st sps #2 (left ear) & #24 (right ear) of head.

rnd 10-14: st sps #4 (left ear) & #28 (right ear) of head.

Eye Patch Placement on Head:

rnd 8: st sps #10-#12 & #15-#17 of head.

rnd 9: st sps #9 & #18 of head.

rnd 10: st sps #11, #16-#17 & #22 of head.

rnd 11-12: st sps #11 & #22 of head.

rnd 13: st sps #11, #16-#17 & #22 of head.

rnd 14: st sps #11 & #22 of head.

rnd 15: st sps #13-#15 & #18-#20 of head.

Muzzle Placement on Head:

rnd 15: st sps #13-#20 of head.

rnd 16: st sps #12 & #21 of head.

rnd 17-18: st sps #11 & #22 of head.

rnd 19: st sps #11 & #22 of head.

rnd 20: st sps #10 & #18 of head (#18 is a sc2tog).

rnd 21: st sps #9-#14 of head (#10 is a sc2tog).


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

You will start attaching the eye patches in rnd 8, the ears in rnd 9 and the muzzle in rnd 15.

For each side of the eye patch, you’ll have 14 open sts for 28 sts around the whole set. Decide which side you want to be the top and bottom. On the top side, determine the top 2 center st for each side (they will be the ones closest to where the eye patches were joined tog). The 3 sts to either side of those sts are the very first sts you will be attaching to the head in rnd 8. 

When attaching the eye patches and the muzzle to the head, always insert the hook from the RS to WS of the patch/muzzle for the top half of the sts. Then, switch it to the WS to RS for the last half. Additionally, for the first rnd of attachment, you will want to hold the eye patch/muzzle piece upside down with the RS pressed against the RS of the head and the top sts of the eye patch/muzzle lined up with the head’s current rnd. Once the first rnd of attachment is complete, you’ll fold the piece down, so that the WS is pressed to the RS of the head.

The flat side of the ears is what you will be attaching to the head. Each row you will attach one st of each ear to the head for a total of 6 rows (first and last sts of the last rnd of ears count as the first and last sts to be attached to the head). As you are attaching the ears, pull the tails of the ears into the head. 

  • For the left/first ear, always insert hook from back to front of ear. 
  • For the right/second ear, always insert the hook from front to back of ear. Though for the first 3 sts, you can insert the hook the other way (this is how it is pictured, but front to back is best for this ear). 

Stitch
#16-#9 of muzzle are the first 8 sts to be attached to the head in rnd 15.

Back to crocheting the head...
