Scroll on down for the FREE, totally adorable, No Evil Monkeys Button Bracelet

You will need:

Caron Simply soft or sport weight yarn in off white, tan and black.

Need to know:

How to do a Magic Circle or Ring (check YouTube videos to learn how)
Or you could ch3, ss to 1st ch and then sc 4 in the circle.
I like the magic ring because you can pull the hole tightly closed.

In English Terms:


ss            = slip stitch
st            = stitch
sts          = stitches
sc            = single crochet
dc           = double crochet
tc            = triple crochet
skst         = skip next stitch

I would like to give credit to the applique pattern by Repeat Crafter Me called M is for Monkey that I was able to adapt to make a smaller size monkey face. Without her pattern I would not have had a guide to help me get a monkey face for this bracelet design.

Thank You for visiting my blog!
