We have picked fifteen of our favourite primates, bringing you some of the rarest and most endangered monkeys and apes found around the world for you to make. Designed by Kerry Lord to be made in TOFT’s luxury wool with an array of patterns to suit every age and ability ranging in skill level from complete beginner to more advanced amigurumi techniques. You’re sure to find the perfect project for the monkey lover in your life.

SKILL LEVEL: Various

MEASUREMENTS: All of the patterns inside are made in TOFT pure wool Double Knitting (DK) using a 3mm hook. The resulting average primate sits around 18cm in height. Each primate takes between 100g and 150g of TOFT DK wool to make. It is very easy to make larger primates - just use exactly the same patterns but swap your yarn for TOFT ARAN and a 5mm hook for a primate that is around 24cm tall or TOFT CHUNKY and an 8mm hook for a animal that is around 34cm tall.

YOU WILL NEED: 3mm crochet hook, toy stuffing, a wool needle and a length of black thread for the eyes to finish off any of the primate patterns within the special edition magazine.

All 15 Primate pattens are in the magazine.
