The Star Fruit Monkey is the first creature in the Fruity Animals collection. It’s a combination of an adorable sleepy monkey with the quirky-shaped star fruit. His peaceful face and pose make him an adorable addition to any nursery room.

The main part of this project is worked in rounds so you might want to use a stitch marker to mark the end of each round. There is no specific gauge for this project, just try to keep it tight and even throughout each piece. Star Fruit Monkey measures approx. 15cm (5.9in), when using the same yarn and tools indicated below.
