Mister Ben Sock Monkey by Two Old Bags

Mister Ben is a knitted "copy" of the famous sock monkey dolls many of us grew up with.  If you have knit a pair of socks you have all the skills necessary to knit a sock monkey. The pattern for Mister Ben is written so you can use any weight yarn along with needles appropriate to your chosen yarn.  The size of the monkey you knit will be determined by the type of yarn and needles you choose.   Traditionally, sock monkeys are knitted in a tweed or ragg yarn body, and two contrast colors - white or cream, and red.   But don't hesitate to try something different - we think Mister Ben would look awesome in variegated or self-patterning yarn! This is a printed pattern that will be mailed to you.
