This absolutely adorable chimp will steal your heart!

Just about life size for a baby, he is as realistic as it gets. Fully in proportion fingers and toes and big loving eyes and tummy, even a little bum! CROCHETED eyes ARE included! Check the projects for tester’s images!

Rated intermediate, you’ll need to know how to work tight amigurumi styles stitches, in the round, sc/hdc/dc, and assembly.

There are a TON of pictures, down to SPECIFIC measurements on how to sew. I want your project to be fun and successful. This has been fully tested and I am available for questions as always if needed.

Like my realistic hippo (see my Ravelry store) you get a matching base beanie in child and adult size that you may add the chimp features to, to create an matching hat!

Selling of your own handmade finished projects IS allowed. You may not video any part of the pattern at all. You may not share the pattern in part or whole anywhere by any media method. You may not change a little or a lot and claim as own for either free or paid. Please respect the endless hours that go into design so I may continue! <3 Stephanie Pokorny/Crochetverse
