Here are the latest madmonkeyknits monkeys for you to knit. Let me introduce you to Gilbert and Baby George the chinese golden monkeys. Yes they really do have blue faces!
Gilbert is knitted mainly in a variety of Eyelash yarns on 4 mm neeles and is 44 cm high whereas Baby George is knitted on mainly 1.6 mm needles and is 22 cm high.
They are both fully jointed allowing them to swing from branch to branch but the pattern allows you to make slightly simpler non-jointed versions if you prefer.

The Gilbert and Baby George Golden Monkeys knitting pattern costs £2.50 for a pdf download which I will personally email to you asap after payment is received or £3.95 for a printed copy with free post worldwide.

Gilbert is going off on an adventure to China very soon with my nephew Alexander and his journey will be eagerly followed with lots of photos here on my website. Poor Baby George is having to stay here but I’m sure all my other monkeys will look after him.

This is my knitting pattern for Fizz and Fuzz the baby orangutan identical twins.
Although these baby orangutans are impossible to tell apart their knitting patterns are surprisingly each quite different.
Fizz stands at 50 cm high and Fuzz is 80 cm high.
Even their mannerisms are exactly the same as you can see here.

Both Fizz and Fuzz are knitted mainly using my Superfast technique on 8 mm needles which is 4 times faster than ordinary knitting and are so quick and simple to make that they only take a couple of days to complete.
The pattern provides full instructions to make jointed versions as can be seen here or slightly simpler non- jointed versions.

You can buy a pdf download for the Fizz and Fuzz Baby Orangutan Identical Twins pattern for £2.95 or a printed copy with free postage for £4.95 with free worldwide postage.

They are both knitted in Ice Eyelash which is cheap and available to buy on line.

This is my Marvin The Blue Monkey nursery toy knitting pattern and it’s what started the whole Nursery series. I was sat in front of the fire watching Columbo one cold Sunday afternoon when I decided to knit something for my niece Lucy who was about to have a baby. As us madmonkeys ALWAYS have boys I made this little fellow.

The next day I got an email to say that Jennifer Kate had just been born!!!!! So it was back to the drawing board!
I designed the whole series with speed and simplicity in mind. Sometimes its fun to just make something really fast and it gives you the confidence to go back to all those half done projects you are always meaning to finish.
