Tiao Pi the Monkey

This little monkey is a fun, easy, and quick project.** Tiao Pi the Monkey lives up to his name: Tiao Pi ("Pi" is pronounced "pee", so rhymes with monkey!) means rascally and mischievous in Mandarin - and this little cutie is quite cheeky! From the top if his head to the tips of his feet he is just under 8 inches tall using worsted weight yarn. This monkey amigurumi pattern includes detailed instructions and step-by-step photos, plus you can contact me along the way to ask any questions. It is an easy level pattern that involves starting with a magic ring, single crochet, increasing, decreasing, attaching pieces, changing colours, and working through both loops and back loop only. **Materials you will need:** - E US (3.5 mm) hook - worsted weight yarn, approximately: 50 yrds (46 m) main colour; 12 yrds (11 m) contrasting colour - yarn/tapestry needle - removable stitch markers - two 15 mm plastic safety eyes - polyester fiberfill stuffing Note: If you are making this amigurumi for someone under 3 yrs, I recommend crocheting or embroidering the eyes instead of using the plastic safety eyes.
