Go bananas with a Pocket Monkey! This little monkey is quick to make, and small enough to carry in your pocket. Each monkey only requires small amounts of yarn, so it is a super way to use up any ends of yarn skeins/balls to avoid waste. Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the monkey is knitted in acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round), and the limbs and tail are i-cord tubes worked on two DPNs. For confident beginners and above, other techniques used include casting on and off, knits, purls, increases and decreases, knitting bobbles, and seaming to finish.

- Instructions for making the monkey and photos.
