This is my Prima Primate Ballerina toy monkey knitting pattern.

As you can see she’s not quite ready for the lead in Swan Lake but practice makes perfect!

The knitting pattern contains full instructions to make this monkey and her ballet outfit with lots of photos to help you along the way.
Prima stands at 14 inches high.

This is my Cilla the Ugly Baby Gorilla knitting pattern.Cilla is knitted mainly using the Superfast technique which is four times faster than normal dk knitting because three strands of dk are used together on 8 mm needles.
The knitting pattern also includes the nappy (diaper) and slouch beanie hat.
Cilla is 44 cm long and is approximately the same size as a newborn human baby.
I tried to make Cilla beautiful but all newborn baby gorillas are fairly ugly as you can see here.

You can buy this knitting pattern as an immediate pdf download for £2.50.
Please don’t think I’m being rude by calling Cilla ugly, remember I was once an ugly baby gorilla myself!

There is some good news about baby Cilla. When she was first born I did not have a cot for her so I made one out of our cat basket. Blacky now thinks she is the proud mother of this ugly baby gorilla and is making a great job of caring for her.
