Sock Monkeys

My biggest seller this season. Monkeys!

I used part of a free pattern.

I give it 5 stars!(the part of the pattern I used, that is..)

I'm going to share the pattern.

For my arms,legs, and body, I use this sock monkey pattern by Crochet Geek.
 I would like to  state that she is the best there is for any beginners wanting to learn..
Her videos are very informative and easy to follow.
