This is our most festive looking monkey amigurumi to date! For those of you who are wondering, yes, we are missing one monkey. But don’t worry, our November monkey amigurumi will not be left out. Promise!

Our Santa Claus monkey amigurumi sits proudly on display in front of our Christmas tree. All the little Christmas decorations we collected over the years really came in handy for this photo shoot. The little house was just the right size for taking pictures with the Santa monkey amigurumi. Time for some side views!

Since we couldn’t find a small white pom pom for the tip of the hat, we had to crochet a tiny ball out of another type of fuzzy yarn. Not as round as a pom pom would have been, but it still works right?

For this monkey, we did some things differently…like the green hands and feet. We wanted our Santa Claus monkey amigurumi to look like it was actually wearing gloves and boots. Then to top it all off, we just lined them with some fuzzy wires.

What’s also special about this monkey amigurumi is the white beard. Instead of using something like cotton for the beard, we just decided to go with felt. Using something like cotton for the beard probably wouldn’t last as long. After a while, it’d probably start losing hair (or cotton fibers) there! That wouldn’t be good… Cutting the beard was very easy. All I did was cut out a square, folded it in half, and cut only one side of the beard so that it’d come out symmetrical.

We also made a Christmas tree topper this year too!

Like our random Christmas decorations? There’s a ferris wheel, nutcracker, house, and big crystal cubes! Our Santa Claus monkey amigurumi is so festive! It makes all of our previous monkey amigurumis look plain! Don’t worry, there’s still New Years to outdo this Santa Claus monkey amigurumi :]!!

Did you know the devil could look so cute and harmless? Don’t you just want to pinch his pink little cheekies? Yes, he’d like that.

To make it look more devilish, we included the little black horns at the top of its head. And then to top it off, we just cut out some black wings using a thin black foam sheet.

The only problem with this devil monkey amigurumi was that our image of it was completely different. Janama wanted it to look cute, but I wanted it to look evil…..and maybe cute? At any rate, I couldn’t help myself and just cut out the wings so that they’d fit my image of the devil. Sharp, pointed and fancy! I figured that since the monkey’s face was cute already, I could probably get away with the wings that no one will probably pay much attention to. Hehe..

The felt face and chest pieces are a dark red color. If you think about it, isn’t the devil all red? We could have done white felt, but then it would just end up looking like a Santa Claus monkey… So instead, we just used dark red felt. Does it look devilish enough?

I even tried to be fancy and cut an extra little edge on the upper tips of the wings. Did you see them? If you did notice them…yay.

My black flowers that I bought a long time ago really came in handy here! I really liked how they looked but could never seem to find a place for them. Now they look happy and perfectly at home with our devil monkey amigurumi.

There’s still lots more where this Halloween devil monkey amigurumi came from so we’ll keep you updated on the others very soon!
