Crochet Pattern Booklet - Archie & Gracie The Monkeys

Two monkeys, dressed to impress

Archie and Gracie are a pair of playful monkeys in adorable outfits, and it’s hard to look at them without smiling. Each one has a cheeky face, long limbs and clothes you crochet as part of the pattern, which gives the finished toys a lot of character. They’re a fun make for a monkey fan, and a charming gift.

The finished monkeys

Archie and Gracie are 43cm tall standing, and 25cm when they’re seated, a good size for a shelf, a bed or a big cuddle. They’re made in Stylecraft Special Chunky, so they work up quickly and feel soft and sturdy, and they’re finished with a little Special DK in black for the faces.

Posable tails

If you’d like to, you can put florist wire inside the tails, so you can curl and pose them, which adds a lot of fun to the finished monkeys.

What skill level?

You should already be able to crochet, and to know the basic stitches, such as double crochet, increases and decreases. If you’ve made a toy or two, you’re ready, and the clothes give you a chance to practise a little shaping.
