This is a monkey bookmark I made. I based mine off
this pattern, but didn't want to have to sew the ears on separately, so revised it.
In white:
Make a magic circle.
round 1: ch 2, 13 dc into magic circle, join with slip st
round 2: ch 2, 2 dc into each dc around join with slip st
round 3: ch 1, skip 1, 7 dc into next st, skip 1, slip st in next st, sc into next dc, skip 1 dc, 7 dc into next st, skip 1, slip st in next 2 sts; 1 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc, 2 trc in same st, 1 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc, 1 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc, 2 trc in same st; 1 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc, slip into beginning stitch
round 4: 1 sc, 7 hdc, 1 sc, slip st, 1 sc, 7 hdc, 1 sc, slip st, 1 sc, 2 hdc, 2 hdc into next st, 8 hdc, 2 hdc into next st, 2 hdc, 1 sc, slip st to beg.
Finish off and change to brown.
In brown:
Start where you left off with the white and
round 4: Sc 7, hdc, dc, hdc, sc 7. In row below (you will be going past the row you should be working and crocheting in the previous row so the eyes stand out better) hdc, dc, hdc. In the correct row sc 3, 2 sc in the same stitch , sc 8, 2 sc in same, sc 4. In row below hdc,dc,hdc. In correct row, sl st.
round 5: Ch 2, Dc , 2 dc in same st, dc 7, 2 Dc in same st. Dc 10, 2 Dc in same st, dc 10, 2 Dc in same st, dc 7, sl st.
Round 6: 2 sc in next 4 st, SC 5, 2 sc in next 4 st, SC 3, (hdc, dc, 2 TRC, dc, hdc) SC, sl st, ch 1, turn, SC 7, sl st, turn, ch 1, sc 7,sl st, SC 2, 2 SC in next 4, SC 7, 2 SC in next 4, SC 3, sl st.
Finish off and weave in tail.
For the bookmark part, I counted from ear to ear to make sure I had it evenly spaced - mine ended up being positioned with 8 stitches between the bookmark part and the bottom of the ear.
Row 1: Sl st 10, ch 1, turn.
Row 2: dc 10 across, ch 1, turn.
Repeat row 2 until desired length.
Finish off and weave in ends.
Embroider face.
