Jacobus est un singe en peluche, qui se tricote d’une seule pièce et sans couture, avec des aiguilles circulaires ou 4 aiguilles droites double pointe. Jacobus peut être tricotée avec n’importe quel fil.

You can knit Jacobus in whatever yarn you want, both monkeys on the second picture are from the same pattern.

For the smallest one I used 30 grams of fingering weight sock yarn for the main color and 10 grams for the face, hands and feet, knit with needles 1,5mm (000). It measures 20cm (8 “).

Using DK/worsted yarn, you need 50 grams MC and about 20 grams CC, use needles 3 or 4 (3mm or 3,5mm). Your Jacobus will measure 35cm/14”.

For a large monkey, use aran or bulky, about 75 grams MC and 25 grams CC, needles 4mm-5mm, 6-8, and Jacobus measures 50 cm, 20”.

Jacobus has some nice clothing: a dress and overalls. They are on separate patterns, you find them in my pattern store.
