Sock Monkey Bookmark – Crochet

Crochet a Sock Monkey bookmark for your kids. Or for yourself. This is a very simple pattern!

What you need

Small amount of white, red, black (I used Microspun for face pieces) and DenimStyle Rodeo Tan for body (you can also use 2 strands of #10 thread or DMC thread)
Hooks: G and D

Stitches used: sl st – slip stitch, single crochet – sc, double crochet – dc
Abbreviations: ch – chain, st – stitch, sts – stitches, ea – each

Measurements: 8″ long from tip of head to end of tail, head is 2.5″ wide, tail is 1/2″ wide (all sizes approximate as no gauge used in making this pattern)

Use G hook for body, tail & mouth parts. Use D hook for eyes. Crochet in back loops only.

Body:
Row 1: Ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook, sl st into first sc, ch 1 (7sc)
Row 2: sc in same st as ch 1, 2 sc in ea st around, join to 1st sc with sl st, ch 1 (14sc)
Row 3: repeat Row 2 (28sc), do not ch 1 after sl st
Row 4: *sl st in next 5 sts, ch 1 in next st, 2 dc in next 2 sts (ear made), sl st next 5 sts,* ch 38, dc 3rd ch from hook, dc across to body, sl st to body, repeat from * to *, fasten off, weave in ends.

Mouth:

Either attach face parts to face with ends of face parts or weave them in and hot glue pieces to face.

This pattern can also be made using 2 strands of #10 or DMC thread held together throughout (brown/off white). If using 2 strands of thread throughout, use the D hook.
