Bring playful charm to baby makes with this sweet cartoon monkey, shown sitting with a curled tail, big ears, bright blue eyes and a cheeky little tongue. The brown, beige and tan fur is lifted by black outlines and small touches of pink and red, which give the face a lively, friendly expression. It suits nursery sewing, children’s clothing and gifts that want a fun animal motif without any wording.
With 8 thread colours and a moderately dense build, it has enough detail to make the face read clearly while still keeping a soft, tidy look on fabric. I’d stitch it on bibs, baby grows, hooded towels, flannel blankets or the front of a small sweatshirt, where the sitting pose fits neatly into a centred placement. The clean cartoon shapes also work well on quilt blocks, drawstring bags and children’s cushions, especially on plain cottons or fleece where those blue eyes really stand out.
