Monkeys are very funny animals, which are sympathetic not only to children, but also to adults. A small toy, made by own hands, will amuse the owner and bring a lot of positive emotions. In addition, it is the monkey is the symbol of 2016, which adds to its relevance. Consider the theoretical part of how the Amigurumi monkey Joni is made. The description is divided into the key points of the knitting technique.

A bit of history

Amigurumi arose long ago, it is impossible to name the exact date when needlewomen became interested in them. They come from Japan. This is unlikely to surprise an informed reader, because the country is famous for its abundance of various decor objects, which are often useful in practice. Amigurumi toys can please anyone. These charming little animals are very fond of children and adults, which easily explains their popularity.

Elements

Monkeys-amigurumi - hand-crafted, not requiring titanic efforts. Even a beginner can make a small toy. The main thing is to make sure that the elements that will be used in the scheme have already been worked out. Then, of course, will turn out to be especially beautiful crocheted monkey Johnny from Pepiki. The description consists of the elements:

• head;
• Muzzle;
• body;
• Ears;
• Front and hind paws;
• tail.

Each of the parts of the toy is knitted according to the scheme, and then stuffed with filler. After completing the elements, they are merged into one.

Required skills

To assess how soon it is possible to get down to work and whether it is necessary to train in the execution of individual loops, let's look at how a monkey crochets with an amigurum crochet with his own hands. The diagram contains loops:

• Air;
• Half-shell without crochet;
• Without a crochet;
• With a crochet half-shell;
• Additions;
• Decreasing.

These crochet techniques are basic skills that are used in almost all jobs. If the technique is not yet known, practice on a thicker yarn before starting the toy. In addition to the basic loops, you will need the ability to knit an amigurumi ring.

Materials

Do not hurry with the choice of yarn. With qualitative and saturated colors, the fibers will look much more beautiful than the Amigurumi monkey Joni. The description contains information about the following tools and materials that will be needed in the course of the work:

• Metal hook diameter 2.5-3 mm;
• Synthetic filler;
• Eyes for a monkey with a diameter of 6-8 mm;
• Yarn of brown and milky color of medium thickness (length of the skein is 250-350 m per 100 g);
• Pins are English ;
• Needle with a wide eyelet for stitching parts;
• Marker of loops.

After acquiring the necessary items, you can choose the most suitable scheme for the toy. How will look like an amigurum crochet monkey and a detailed description of its manufacture, we will consider in the next paragraph.

Before starting work, make sure that the hook-yarn matching is set correctly. Check it out easily: fold the yarn four times and slightly twist, then compare with the thickness of the hook.

How to crochet an amigurum monkey: charts, description, tips

Most often when knitting toys used the usual elements: columns with a single crochet or even without it. Therefore, schemes rarely differ in the types of loops, but they may contain a different number of rows. Having decided with the most successful version of the toy-monkey, let's get to work.

First, you need to make the initial loop of the amigurumi ring with brown yarn (main) yarn, which will fix all subsequent yarns and prevent the knitting from blossoming. After that, perform 6 posts without the crochet so that the thread passes through the inner surface of the ring. Stitch the bows, and connect the outer hinges to the half-shell without the crochet.

After the execution of one air lifting loop, it is required to tie 2 sb per each base, ie, to make increments. In the next row, 2 rolls to perform in each second loop, then to the third, fourth, etc., until 10 circular rows (60 loops) are connected.

Having reached the required number, tie 6 rows without increments, and then perform decrements in each circular row, until there are 6 loops left. The row starts from tying two bars without a crochet together into one base through every 8 loops. During work, you need to gradually fill the resulting element, then cut the thread.

Amigurumi-monkey Joni: a description of the face and body

The principle of knitting the head is preserved for other parts of the toy, the main difference is the number of rows and loops. For a muzzle execute a light thread a ring amigurumi from 6 sbn. Add stakes until the total number of loops reaches 30 and tie another 2 rows without changes. In the next row add 3 more loops. 9 circle knit according to the scheme: 6 columns bn, ps with a crochet, column sn, ps with a crochet, bar b. Repeat the rapport 2 times and finish the circle row with 21 bar. 10 row to do so: 7 bb columns, add 1 sb, 2 bb sts, subtract 1 sb, bb column, subtract 1 sb, 2 bb bar, increase, 23 boll without crochet. The muzzle is connected.

The body of the monkey is performed, beginning with the amigurumi ring from 5 columns without the crochet, gradually increasing their number to 35. At the same time, 4, 5, 7 and 11-16 rows are performed without changing the number of loops. Next, you need to gradually loosen the loops in each circular row until the number of loops becomes 5. During operation, it is required to fill the element evenly with a filler.

Remaining Elements

Almost ready for Amygurumi monkey Joni. Description of the remaining parts is simpler, because the main and most voluminous details of the toys are already connected. In order to fulfill the ears, it is necessary to make an amigurumi ring from dairy yarn of 5 c. Increase the number of loops in each row to 20, then tie one circle unchanged and successively reduce to 5 loops. It should turn out 7 circular rows. Similarly, you need to perform the second ear of the monkey.

The front legs are made of two colors: knitting begins with a light thread of 6 bars bn in an amigurumi ring, increases to 15 loops. From 4 to 6, the row is tied unchanged, then reduced to 3 bars and change the thread to a dark one. To knit from the 8th to the 19th row without changing the number of loops, add the filler and finish knitting for 6sb, having done the adjustments in the last circle.

For the hind legs, type 6 in light thread and knit in the following sequence:

• The second from the hook loop a sb, 3 sb, 3 sb in one last loop;
• Move to the other side of the chain and tie 3 sb, increase, the total number of loops will be equal to 12;
• In the next row, make the columns like this: add 1 sb, 3 bb columns, add 3 sb, 3 bb columns, add 2 bars bn = 18 sts;
• Tie in the 3rd circle: sb, increase, 4 bar bb, add 1 cb, 3 bb st, add 1 sb, 5 bb columns, increase, sb = 22 loops;
• 4 and 5 rows without changing the number of columns;
• In the 6th and 7th lap 4 bars should be removed;
• Changing the thread to dark, continue to tie together two sbn to 14 loops in the 8th row, from 9 to 19 to knit unchanged;
• In the last circle, reduce to 7 bars and fill the bottom of the paw with filler.

The tails are fast: the amigurumi ring from 6 rolls, the increase in the second row to 12 loops, from 3 to 39 to make the columns unchanged. Finish by decreasing up to 6 loops. It is necessary to fill the part as far as the knitting is concerned.

Assembly

Before stitching the finished elements together, use pins: sequentially fasten all parts of the monkey and look at the result. If everything is done carefully in the finished work, start sewing the parts. The muzzle is fixed to the head in approximately 7-8 circular rows and is stuffed with filler. Embroidery of the outlines of the mouth is a dark thread.

The remaining parts are gradually combined, using the remainder of the threads on them. It is recommended to sew the paws with a hinged fastening. Finish the work by attaching the ready-made eyes or using the buttons of the appropriate color and size. The monkey-amigurumi is ready!
