Monkeying Around

I wanted to make something for my nephew to play with. A toy he could treasure knowing that his aunty lovingly made it for him. 

The trouble is, well, I'll just show you...

And the back... 

So the video on YouTube made it look simple and the their monkey turned out beautifully. It was like a monkey from a toy shop. Anyway, I suppose it was my first attempt and It doesn't look too bad. But it won't have the effect I was hoping for. I'll keep trying! 

Crochet is amazing and it makes me so happy.
