I made this as my first amigurumi when I was 11 I’m now 13 and I still have it this is definitely a core memory thank you for making this video this was when I decided I wanted to crochet more and learn new things! I’m going to be re-creating this for my mother for Christmas thanks so much for this pattern your very good at what you do!😁😁
Thank you so much for the awesome tutorial. I made mine in aqua color for my little 4 month old and it came out great! I placed it next to him while he was napping to surprise him when he wakes and he smiled in his sleep! Simply beautiful!
I practiced my finger coordination when I was in fourth grade! And it's pretty hard but you'll get the use of it after awhile. So what I did was in our elementary olympics I joined badminton, my turn was a pretty long wait so what I did was try to balance my racket through my finger and started rolling it with each finger so now I'm in high school and the 32:00 part wasn't a hard thing for me!
just love this video thank you Sharon, at frist with these patterns I said no way its to small of work for me, after each one I said no more, but they are so darn cute I have kept going and made 5 of your little critters, now im hooked *-) ♥
If I use a bigger hook, would that make the monkey a little bigger. I made one and just love. But wanted to make one size bigger. Thank you for the tutorial
I so wish that I could give a donation. After my bills are paid I have $97 month to live on. That's use for transportation of food and my dogs food. Likely have just asked adds of leftover yarn. So again think you very very much for the free pattern.
never feel badly about that! That's why I do what I do. The donation is only for those who can and only if they want to. There's no obligations here. I'm so happy you can enjoy the patterns and videos. Happy crocheting!
I know you did this video years ago but do you have anymore videos on how to make the monkey but bigger. I need to make one about 24" long for head to tail. HA! HA!
hi there im really happy with myself right now lol i just made 2 of these for my kids and it was so easy to follow this video thanx so much :) my older step son seen it amd loved it so much now he wants one but bigger any idea on how to make a bigger one?
your work is so clean! Mine is always loose and not straight. :'( Was thinking of making this for my dad for Christmas! Hope it all goes well. Thanks for the guide!! :)
+Akira Kairi try tightening your stitches more. It takes practice and with each amigurumi you make it will get easier. If you're using a larger hook, like maybe a 5mm, switch to a smaller hook. Try a 4mm and if you still see gaps and you've tightened up your stitches then try a 3.75mm. I wish you all the best!
+Sharon Ojala is there a right side and wrong side to this design? Because this design is a one piece for the body, I don't think we can overturn it when we're almost done, right?
Akira Kairi It's better to work the right side just as soon as you can. You can turn it much later but it gets more difficult to do so. Watch this clip, I show the right and wrong side. I have it set to open at the right time th-cam.com/video/_mLCHF6NGiw/w-d-xo.htmlm34s
***** I actually made the head halfway and turned it inside out. It doesn't look that bad. I actually researched on how to turn it inside out and crochet clockwise from there so that it doesn't look so messy. But thanks!
+Akira Kairi for sure, glad it worked out. For smaller rounds you will want to turn them sooner as it will get more difficult but I'm sure you've figured that out already :) Have fun!
Mine seems larger than yours, I have all red heart yarn super saver and my grey is jumbo super saver..could this be why? I think the jumbo means its a double skien...idk...
+Natas Nico that just means a larger package. Some colors in Red heart will work up a different gauge, some a bit larger and some a bit smaller. It'll work out fine in the end.
Do u know where i can get the crochet pattern for southern bell bed dolls, or bed pillow dolls? I love ur videos they help me make dolls for my grandchildern for christmas. My mother has been wanting one of these bed dolls for years and i would like to make her one. thank u for any help u can give me .
google "crochet bed dolls" and see what comes up there.. also try a pattern search on Ravelry. You'll have to become a member there but it's free. Hope that helps
I just started learning how to crochet and I just wanted to say thank you. Even though I am still learning, I am able to learn while making a cute animal. :) Most people just go really fast and don't explain it as well as you do! What size hook do you use while making the stuffed animals and where is the best place to get yearn? Thank you for your time!!
thank you, I'm so glad to hear that! All my video patterns here on youtube have written patterns with hook and yarn info and supplies list in the written pattern. The patterns are linked under each video. And I get my yarn at walmart. Also here's a FAQ page on my blog that answers more about yarn and hook size www.amigurumitogo.com/p/blog-page_9.html
Hi Sharon! Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful creations! I love them all! Have you ever been crocheting along and realized that you accidently pulled out your marker? I have done that twice now. I have made an educated guess as to where to replace it and it has worked out, but it is frustrating! Thanks again for sharing and your creativity!
Brenda Anderson yes I have and it is frustrating.. there's markers that you can buy that will clip on, I haven't ever tried them myself though. I just assume they might be a bit of a pain to use and just keep using my yarn markers, lol it's frustrating at times but usually it works out fine :)
Brenda Anderson I found mine at a local Ben Franklin craft store. I don't know what you have here you are but if you don't have one, amazon has a great selection of things like that. I can't seem to post links from work but if you search "Stitch marker." You will see them. They look like little plastic safety pins.
Rebecca Combs I found some on Amazon for $1.36 with free shipping! so I ordered them! Score!!! Thanks for the Tip! I hope they work good. Some of the rounds are pretty small and I probably won't use them for those rounds, but for the larger ones, I will. Thanks for helping me out!
Hi there; I love ur patterns. I had one question? I want to know how did u make the rainbow band around ur crochet hook, or did u buy them like that? Thanks; Jane

***** I use the clip on ones and I prefer them. It can be a little harder to get in but I don't have to worry about pulling it out or it falling out.
Rebecca Combs Were did you find clip on ones? I haven't seen any like that. That would be great! Thanks in advance....

I’m so confused why the marker is on the last stitch not the first
I love this
