My first attempt at a monkey. It's a gift for Nephew Number 2 - a monkey for a monkey (although the original isn't quite so turquoise!) It went down pretty well I think - who knew you could knit a banana!If you want to try making your own, the pattern is from Knitted Wild Animals by Sarah Keen.
Here's a quick roundup of my favourite knitted toys currently dwelling in folksy and etsy land:
[clockwise from top left]Little Olive Knitted Owl from Love LOttie Knits
Squiggle - the hand knitted Monkey from Boo Biloo
Sydney Hedgehog Plush Lambswool Toy from Sara Carr
Gnomes hand knitted in Australian Merino Wool from tidabellamonkey
