This is our last monkey amigurumi!! Yay! It’s been a year since we started on this idea of crocheting monkey amigurumis to represent each month of the year, and we’re finally done! It sure was a lot of work to do but the process was definitely very fun and exciting.

For our New Year’s monkey amigurumi, we wanted to go for the sparkling and glamorous look so we went all out on the decorating this time. Gluing every single piece of crystal onto its face, ears, and body was very tedious. But in the end, it came out way better than we expected! We really wanted this monkey to stand out from the rest so we used as many crystals as we could in decorating it.

We recently went on a trip to Las Vegas so that might explain our more glamorous approach to our New Year’s monkey amigurumi.

The crystals were originally for decorating the interior of your car. They came as a whole sheet of adhesive crystals where you could peel off chains of them and stick them wherever you want. Mom bought them a long time ago but only used a few of them on her own amigurumi and other creations you can see on her amigurumi doll site. So she threw the remaining crystals at us and we went to town with it!

Lucky for us we had a boat load of Mardi Gras beads all jammed together in a tiny plastic bag buried in our Christmas tree decorations box so the concept for this monkey was pretty much decided after we discovered it. They were all collected from dad’s company parties over the years and we just got a few more this year too!

We’d like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays with our Santa Claus Monkey Amigurumi!!

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?
christmas-santa-monkey-amigurumi-18
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 :]!!

Anyone up for another Halloween monkey amigurumi? We are!!!
halloween-monkey-amigurumi-13-1
I’ve been waiting many months just to post this one particular Halloween monkey amigurumi. This is actually the original Halloween monkey that we made. But Halloween’s the funnest time of the year, so why not just go all out and make a whole boatload of them?
halloween-monkey-amigurumi-2-1
This one took quite a while to make. It was me who kept pestering our crocheter to make this monkey. I was looking forward to making this the most! So I couldn’t help myself and changed a few things about it. I painted one eye all white and the other with a single red pupil to give it a more creepy (but cute!) look. Changed the mouth, added a bunch of stitch work, and cut out the shape and face of a jack-o-lantern for the chest piece.

Cutting out those tiny triangles and teeth on that pumpkin shaped chest piece was a lot of work but it still came out okay. It was like carving a real pumpkin but out of felt!
halloween-monkey-amigurumi-3-1
I really wanted this Halloween monkey amigurumi to have two distinct personalities. The left side (picture above) is the cute and happy side and the right side (below) is the scarier/crazier side. So if you look at these two pictures separately, they’ll look like two different monkeys! All in one!

It looks like our Halloween monkey amigurumi is growing out of the…..Heart of Darkness!! Hahaha kidding~ Yes, I read the book…but don’t remember what happened. Hehe.

Its castle. Very small castle–and yes, it can support the weight of an entire monkey! Such a strong little fortress its got there.

And now with a friend! Pumpkin minion?

I was so happy about making this Halloween monkey amigurumi that I even took the time to paint a background for it. Don’t know if you can see it, but there’s actually purple bats flying in the background. I also painted the little fortress/castle-like thing too. That was actually a white styrofoam box that housed six eggs in its nice foamy grasp. Putting this set together took a whole afternoon! But I’m pleased with the end result. Still more monkeys to come!

Sweet dreams everyone! Hope you all enjoyed our Halloween monkey amigurumi!!

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!

Let’s get into the tropical mood with a Hawaiian monkey amigurumi!
hawaiian-monkey-amigurumi-13
Are we in a tropical mood yet? Let’s just drop everything and go to Hawaii!!! A little late with the monthly posting but here we go!
hawaiian-monkey-amigurumi-1
Exactly one year ago, we took a family trip to Hawaii for a week, so to remember the fun times I decided to make a Hawaiian monkey amigurumi. When I got to thinking of what to do for the month of August, nothing came to mind but summery things and warm beachy places….like Hawaii!
hawaiian-monkey-amigurumi-3
And our 360 degree view looks like this:

hawaiian-monkey-amigurumi-6
Weee!
hawaiian-monkey-amigurumi-5
Ah, now I’m dizzy.
hawaiian-monkey-amigurumi-7
Like the coconut + plumeria + leafy headdress? The coconut was crocheted with a thinner yarn and took a very long time to make. Lots of work just for one tiny little coconut halve. Even though it’s small, it doesn’t mean that it’ll be less work. The plumerias next to the coconut are actually earrings. The last time we went to Hawaii, we bought them from ABCmart (very cheap and nice by the way).
hawaiian-monkey-amigurumi-10
The plumerias on the grass skirt also came from that store and are actually one bracelet. I just crocheted the grass skirt and slid the bracelet on afterwards. Looks nice and festively Hawaiian right? Mm…a luau sounds really good right now.
hawaiian-monkey-amigurumi-15
And of course my Hawaiian monkey amigurumi needs some friends! Say hello to coconut amigurumi! It’s so smiley and happy in the background. Now I could really use a pina colada.
hawaiian-monkey-amigurumi-11
Ah yes and before I forget, I also crocheted a small coconut palm to go with the Hawaiian monkey. Such a happy little tropical family~
hawaiian-monkey-amigurumi-16
For this particular monkey, I tried to make it look tanned. Did you catch on to that? Well anyway, I used a darker felt for the face, chest, and ears, instead of the usual light colored one. I figured that if it’s going to be a Hawaiian monkey, why not make it look like it came straight from Hawaii? Exposed to all the sunlight and warm weather! It’d be weird if it were a pale monkey right? It just wouldn’t be genuinely Hawaiian.

Happy summer! Hope you all enjoyed my take on a Hawaiian monkey amigurumi!
