dolphin-amigurumi-5
Insert the 9 mm solid black safety eyes into the head. Insert the eyes between R8 and R9. Leave 4 sts in between the eyes for the most ideal spacing. Fasten the eyes in place.
dolphin-amigurumi-4
Stuff the body with your choice of stuffing.
dolphin-amigurumi-3
R12: 1 dec in each st around – 6 sts
Fasten off, leaving a long tail.
Using a blunt tapestry needle and the long tail of yarn, sew the hole at the bottom of the body closed.
dolphin-amigurumi-12dolphin-amigurumi-11
Once the hole is closed, hide the stray tail inside of the body. Using the tip of your scissors gently stuff the tail end into the body.
dolphin-amigurumi-10
With that, the body is complete!
dolphin-amigurumi-9
Using baby blue yarn,
R1: Ch 2, 6 sc in second ch from hook – 6 sts
R2: sc in each st around – 6 sts
R3: 2 sc in the next 4 sts (leave the last 2 sts in the round empty) – 8 sts
Fasten off, leaving a long tail.
dolphin-amigurumi-7
Place the snout between the eyes and sew in place. Position the snout so that the wider bottom half faces down and the smaller top half faces up.
dolphin-amigurumi-16
Finish sewing the snout in place onto the body.
dolphin-amigurumi-14
Using baby blue yarn,
R1: Ch 2, 4 sc in second ch from hook – 4 sts
R2: 2 sc in each st around – 8 sts
Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Pinch each piece in half so that they form semi-circles.
dolphin-amigurumi-21
Using the blunt tapestry needle, sew the fins onto the sides of the body. I like to place the fins more towards the back of the body rather than exactly at the sides. It looks more like it’s swimming in this position!
dolphin-amigurumi-20
Once sewn, it should look like this.
dolphin-amigurumi-17
Repeat the same process with the other fin. Be sure to position the fin on the body as symmetrically as possible. Re-position as many times as needed to achieve the most symmetrical position.
Now, it should have 2 fins!
dolphin-amigurumi-30
Using baby blue yarn,
R1: Ch 2, 3 sc in second ch from hook – 3 sts
R2: 2 sc in each st around – 6 sts
Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Pinch the piece in half to form a semi-circle like the side fins.
dolphin-amigurumi-26
Sew the fin onto the top of the body. I staggered the fin slightly below the center of the top, just to give it a little more style.
dolphin-amigurumi-2
Using baby blue yarn,
R1: Ch 2, 3 sc in second ch from hook – 3 sts
R2: 2 sc in each st around – 6 sts
R3: 1 sc, 2 sc in next st around – 9 sts
R4: 2 sc, 2 sc in next st around – 12 sts
Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Do not stuff the tail. The shape should look like a cone.
Sew the tail onto the back end of the body.
dolphin-amigurumi-44
Once sewn, it should look like this.
dolphin-amigurumi-42
Using baby blue yarn,
Ch 2, 6 dc in second ch from hook. The shape should resemble a small fan. Fasten off, leaving a long tail.
dolphin-amigurumi-39
Sew the tail fin onto the tip of the tail.
dolphin-amigurumi-37
Weave in any stray ends.
That’s it! You’re finished!

To finish off our crazy Halloween amigurumi spree, we present to you a Vampire Monkey Amigurumi!
vampire-monkey-amigurumi-34
Isn’t he so dashing? Looking so sharp with a tux instead of the usual heart chest piece, sparkly black buttons, and a nice little bow tie too. So fashion forward! He even holds a romantic red rose in his paw, handcrafted by my sister polarbear of course. This little vampire monkey amigurumi is sure to charm his way into all the lady’s hearts! Don’t get too excited though ladies…rumor has it he’s dating the little Witch Monkey Amigurumi. Sigh, she’s a lucky monkey, I know…

This vampire monkey amigurumi was by far the fanciest monkey we’ve made so far. The cape was actually handsewn together by my mom (because we all know how horrible I am at sewing). It was such a nice coincidence that we had the perfect materials lying around too, like velvet and satin, to make the perfect cape. The hat is exactly the same as the St Patrick’s Day monkey amigurumi and Fourth of July monkey amigurumi.

Another part of this vampire monkey amigurumi that took a lot of work was the backdrop. Polarbear spent days painting and drawing the background. She even cut up some of the same black chiffon material used for the Witch monkey amigurumi’s cape to make into curtains. Our idea was to make the vampire monkey amiguurmi look like he was in a mansion. For me at least, when I think vampire I think mansion…and of course a coffin!
vampire-monkey-amigurumi-31
Polarbear also spent a lot of time handcrafting all the roses on the coffin and on the floor. She even used glitter glue to outline some nice gold lines on the coffin. Very decadent-looking, just how I had envisioned it ahh. The coffin was actually made out of styrofoam from an old egg carton. It was painted black and then nicely decorated. And for you nitpickers out there, yes we are aware the coffin is a little bit small. He sleeps sideways…because he likes to!
vampire-monkey-amigurumi-23
I just had to include this picture because he looks like he’s using his hand to flaunt his luxurious cape haha!
vampire-monkey-amigurumi-16
Of course, no vampire is complete without some bloody fangs! The fangs were cut out from white felt, then painted very meticulously with red nail polish.

Teethy~!

That wraps up our monkeys of the month for October! I hope you’ve all enjoyed our Halloween monkey amigurumis as much as we’ve enjoyed creating them. We went a little crazy because it’s polarbear’s favorite time of the year. She’s been dying to get dark and spooky with our cute amigurumis since forever! I just enjoyed living vicariously through the monkey amigurumis because I want to dress up for Halloween but can’t…sniff sniff.

Nevertheless, our Vampire Monkey Amigurumi wishes everyone a Happy Halloween!!

It’s time to get into the Halloween spirit with our witch monkey amigurumi! Yay!!!
witch-monkey-amigurumi-29
We’ve been waiting many months for October to come. Anything Halloween-themed is just so fun and exciting to do! At first we only made one Halloween-themed monkey amigurumi, but then recently decided to make more. Why not, right? As for the other Halloween monkey amigurumis, we’ll keep you posted and up to date so stay tuned!

When it came to making this witch monkey amigurumi, we were stumped on how to make the broom. But then one day when we went to the craft store, we spotted a large wooden/straw broom hanging on a shelf with a lot of other Halloween related decorations. So we went back home, gathered some small twigs from the backyard, cut a wooden chopstick in half, tied the little twigs around it, and there you have it!! Broom!
witch-monkey-amigurumi-3
But anyway, enough about the broom. For this witch monkey amigurumi we really wanted it to look like a witch–unmistakably like a witch. So we used neon green felt for the face, chest, ears and purple yarn for the body. Purple and green–the perfect witch colors right?

This monkey is so fancy too! It even has this nice little witch hat with a pretty little green bow tied around it. Janama’s pretty bow-tying skills. 
If you look closely, the cape isn’t just a regular cape. I had to sit there and cut out tiny triangles from the edges of the cape so that it’d look more witch-like.

Looks like our little witch has a minion–Skeletroll! Witch monkey named it…not me. :] I don’t come up with dumb names like that!
witch-monkey-amigurumi-24
What kind of monkey business are they up to? For some reason the monkey looks a bit evil in the picture above…how cute! We love cute but dangerous things~

There’s much more to come! Hope you enjoyed our Halloween witch monkey amigurumi!
