We start 2 loops at the beginning of each row. Rows 119 - 128. We start 1 loop at the beginning of each row. There should be 40 loops left on the knitting needle. Rows 129 - 178. We knit 40 loops straight. Then we repeat as in rows 26 through 2, in reverse order. We close 50 loops on each side, 20 remain on the knitting needle. Thus, we got the monkey's body if we fold the knitted fabric in half.Head. 1 - 4 rows.Continue knitting the remaining loops - this is the neck. 5 - 12 rows. In each front row, add 1 loop from each edge. Knit the purl rows without changes. 13 - 28 rows. Straight 36 loops. 29 - 36 rows. Decrease in each front row by one loop from each edge.

Start all the loops, cut the thread, leaving a small end for sewing.We connect the edges and fill them with filler, not very much.tightly, so that the pillow does not stick out and is not too hard. Assemble the body. You can sew with either a needle with a large eye or a crochet hook. Stuff with padding polyester or holofiber as you sew the edges. You should start with the legs and arms. You should stuff lightly, just to give volume to the limbs.Hands and feet. Knitted from yellow yarn. 1 - 4 rows. Cast on 10 stitches, knit in stocking stitch. 5 row. Add 1 stitch along the edges. 10 + 2 = 12.Rows 6 - 8. Knit without changes. Row 9.Add 1 loop along the edges. 12 + 2 = 14. 10 - 12 rows. Knit without changes. 13 row. Add 1 loop along the edges. 14 + 2 = 16. 14 row. Remove 5 loops and knit (remove the rest on a pin).We make 10 rows, then close 2 loops on the edges, 3 remain.

Then start as the previous finger. Knit another finger in this way, and the remaining little finger will be 4 loops and 9 rows. You need to knit 8 of these pieces. Remember that half of the pieces are knitted with the right ones, and the other half with the left ones. Sew, turn inside out, stuff with filler, sew to the arms and legs.Tail.The tail can be knitted in two ways: on two knitting needles and then sewn, or, if you know how, knit on four knitting needles. You choose the length yourself, in our case 110 loops were cast on and 22 rows were knitted. You need to put a little bit of filler so that the tail is flexible and does not stick out.
