This cute little astronaut monkey crochet pattern is small enough to fit just about anywhere and is ideal for beginner/intermediate crocheters! It measures at about 5 inches tall. This pattern includes an astronaut backpack (complete with a banana applique!) and an optional removable helmet. It makes for an excellent quick gift that you can whip up easily. It’s a perfect match for any astronaut lover or space-themed decor and will add a dash of adorable to your desk, office space, decorative shelf, or bookcase!

I have included 27 detailed pictures throughout the 9 page PDF. I’m left-handed, and so are my pictures! For the convenience of right-handers, I’ve included flipped versions of all relevant pictures at the bottom of this PDF.
