NOW UPDATED TO INCLUDE SIZES FOR CHILD AND ADULT, this cheeky monkey beanie was designed and made for my youngest, who turns one year old soon. His birthday party would have been monkey-themed, but due to lockdown, a party won’t be possible. Nevertheless, he can still wear his party hat on his birthday! ;-)

The written crochet pattern (in US terms) provides instructions for six sizes: ‘newborn’ (approximately 0-2 months), ‘baby’ (approximately 2-6 months), ‘toddler’ (approximately 6-18 months), ‘child’ (approximately 18+ months), adult (S/M), and adult (L). Please note: sizes are only a guide; individual head size may vary.

Apart from the yarn (DK) and a 4.00 mm crochet hook, the only additional material required is a darning needle, with which to weave in the ends.
