Amigurumi Monkey With a Banana

When I saw this pattern designed by Betsy Brunson on Ravelry I thought it would be perfect for my cousin's daughter Hazel.  She just celebrated her 4th birthday the end of July so I made this for her.  Of course she loved it!

Actually pretty much everyone at the party loved this adorable monkey, and a couple people asked me about making stuffed animals for them. :) 

If you'd like to make one of your own you can find the pattern for free on Ravelry here.  I used small black buttons for the eyes, simply because I had them on hand, but the pattern actually calls for safety eyes.
