The Skelly Chimp is a cheeky little chap sitting 6 inches high.
He is one of those toys that is a great conversation piece, great for Halloween or anyone who is into ‘wackiness’ :o)

He is knitted from a straightforward, no frills, simple to follow pattern which has many photos to help you along the way. There are no complicated stitches or shaping so I class this pattern as suitable for a confident beginner.

He is knitted flat on 3mm needles throughout using small amounts of any DK yarn.

Dark brown – less than 25 grams
