What I enjoyed most about making this monkey was the face. The stitching method used for the face is easy and fun to learn. It really adds to the realism. I ended up making ears as well. On the baby monkey, it can be a bit difficult and time consuming b/c you have to go around with only 4-6 stitches for a long time to get the length of the arms and tail. It ends up worth it simply for the amazing look of this monkey! There are many textured yarns out there that can work with this and make your monkey unique.
