Hey, hey....it's a monkey! You asked for it and here he is: Meet Jerry the Monkey. Monkeys are the best, aren't they? They were always one of my favorite animals in the zoo, I could watch them for hours. And Jerry is no different, he is a blast to knit and even more fun to hang out with.
This new knitting pattern from Danger Crafts will show you how to knit Jerry the Musical Monkey out of your choice of yarn. Since it doesn't take much yarn to knit this guy, this is a great stash busting project for all those times you've bought a ball of yarn because it was pretty, or on sale, or both. This pattern is very fun and once you knit one monkey, you will find you want to knit a whole barrel of monkeys!
