Assembling
Fill the Body: After you finished crocheting the body of the monkey, it is necessary to fill it and close the openings. First use the openings at the arms and legs to fill the body with polyfill and then the respective limbs.
Close Openings: After you have filled the entire body with enough polyfill, it is time to close the openings. First, using a thread in Chestnut (for the light brown monkey) or Coffee (for the dark brown monkey), sew together the 4 stitches in the crotch of the monkey.
Then close the arm and leg openings.
Tail: Sew the tail centered onto the back of the body, right between the legs.
Ears: Sew on the ears left and right 5 stitch rows from the top center of the head, with a distance of 3 to 4 stitches to the respective eye.
Muzzle: Sew the muzzle centered under the eyes onto the head.
Eyebrows: Sew the eyebrows right and left, 1 stitch row above the eyes, onto the head.
Banana: Use a Sun colored thread to sew the banana to the end of one of the arms.
DONE!
