My friend asked me to make her a crocheted monkey. I spent more than one day, googling for the perfect pattern. I searched everywhere – Pinterest, Etsy, Ravelry…
I have decided I will write a blog and show you my favorite monkey patterns, free and paid, and maybe spare you all the hours searching.
So here are my top choices. I will start with 10 free monkey crochet patterns and then show you the 14 paid crochet monkey patterns. I had a hard time choosing; they are so cute. I wonder which one will be your number one choice.

I had no idea how popular crochet monkeys are, judging by the number of different patterns available. What is the material made of that the crochet monkey is wrapped around? My favorite is #5 Cuddle me monkey amigurumi pattern from Amigurumi Today.
How long would an experienced person take to make one of these? They look like fun to crochet.

Hi Edwin. Thank you very much for your comment. There are a lot of crochet patterns out there 🙂 Monkeys are not the most popular, I think that bunnies, bears, cats, and dogs are the most popular. At least these come to my mind right now.
You can fill the crochet toy with different materials, my favorite is polyester fiberfill. It is soft and washable.
It depends on how fast you crochet, and detailed the pattern is, but it can take up to 20 hours or more to make a crochet toy. But if you use chunkier yarn and easy pattern, you can make it faster.
Crocheting is fun and relaxing, and for most, it is very addicting 🙂
I hope I answered all of your questions. If you want to know more, feel free to ask me.
Have a beautiful day.
So as I’m scrolling down, I can not take this face of “Awww” from my face. One is better than the other!
But if I’m choosing the best one, it’s the very first kawaii baby monkey from All About Ami. It has this big head with sweet eyes and holding a banana on the side. How cute is that??
To be honest I didn’t even know people make crochets like this so thank you for opening my eyes to a whole new world of gifts or even for a collection of my own!
Thank you very much for your comment.
I am so happy you liked my post, and that you got to know the world of crocheting. You can make such beautiful stuff with yarn and hook, from toys to clothes, jewelry, blankets, pillows… Follow my page, I do interviews with crochet best sellers and you will get to see a lot of amazing patterns.

These are so beautiful and lovely. The free patterns are actually beautiful well designed which makes me wonder why they’re free. The kawaii baby monkey is absolutely lovely. It clearly stands out among other free patterns. The other list also contains lovely patterns but I quite like the monkey Viki pattern. Lovely!
Thank you so much for your comment. I think a lot of people share patterns for free to get more visitors to their blogs because everybody loves a free pattern. I share free patterns too 🙂 I love to meet new people who crochet, and that is one of the ways. 🙂
I am glad you like my post.
Have a beautiful day.

Thanks a lot for such an amazing review about Crochet Patterns And Designers and explanations are given.
My grandmother is passionate about crocheting. So I convinced her to try to make a small business out of it. I have searched for many designs on the internet, but these are the best. I will definitely propose these too.
Thanks again and keep in touch!
Hi. Thank you very much. I am glad you like my selection of monkey patterns. I hope your grandma will make one for you 🙂
Have a nice day.
I am so happy I found this post, I am actually planning to crochet a nice gift for a family member who just had a beautiful baby girl, I have already crocheted a baby blanket and I was searching for a nice animal, I was actually trying to find a cute Bear or monkey crochet pattern that is beginner-friendly.
I like the number 5 The Amigurumi Baby Monkey, it looks cute and it also looks easy to make. But since the baby I am making it for is a girl, I will make it in Pink and white, do you think those colors will work well with the beige color on the face?
Very helpful post, I am so glad that now I can proceed to crochet a cute and unique gift for the newest member of our family.
Thank you so much for this post.
