Are you looking for a monkey stuffed animal free pattern?

Recently, a friend of mine asked if I would make a monkey stuffed animal for her to give as a gift. Excited for a new project (and not thinking about my growing mountain of unfinished projects), I agreed. One would think stuffed monkey free patterns would be in abundance. Download, print, and sew in a day or so – easy, peasy. There are always free stuffed animal patterns to be found in the wonderful world of Pinterest, right?

Not this time. I searched for a day or so and couldn’t find a lot of options for a free felt Monkey stuffed animal pattern! I think I found two and neither of them really fit my idea. So, I decided to design one.

Felt Monkey Stuffed Animal Pattern

UPDATE: A fully updated and digitized version of this pattern is now available in our shop.

Side note: what really is the proper (or most popular) term? I grew up with “Stuffie” or “Stuffed Animal” but have seen them called so many other things: Softie, Plushie…What’s your favorite?

If you like sewing felt animal patterns, you may also like the other felt animals I designed. They make great gifts!

For my first attempt at designing my own monkey stuffed animal, I think he turned out great! What do you think?

This is a quick, easy stuffed animal sewing project that a beginner learning to sew could tackle as well!

To sew your own Monkey Stuffed Animal, you will need:

• The Pattern [A fully updated and digitized version of this pattern is now available in our shop.]
• Felt
• Fabric (I purchased a quarter yard because I was looking for a specific fabric but you just need a few scraps)
• Embroidery thread to match
• Hand-sewing needle
• Poly-Fil stuffing (this is my favorite kind, especially for smaller softies)
• Clover Wonder Clips (optional)
• Scissors (these are my favorite for cutting precisely)
• Felt glue (Optional – this is my favorite brand)
• Freezer paper (Optional – Check out my tutorial to learn how to cut felt with freezer paper if you’ve never used freezer paper before)

To assemble the Monkey Stuffed Animal:

1. Cut all of the monkey stuffed animal pieces from the pattern
2. Hand-stitch the tail to the monkey’s back and face to monkey’s body
3. Stitch the facial features to the felt monkey’s face
4. Applique the tummy patch to the monkey’s body and inner ear pieces to outer ear pieces
5. Place the back of the ear and the front of the ear with their right sides touching and sew together, leaving a gap where the ear attaches to the head.
6. Flip ears right side out
7. Fold over corners at base of ear toward center and hold in place with a few stitches (will be covered up so thread color doesn’t matter)
8. Sew the hands to the arms and the feet to the legs
9. Place the arms together with right sides facing. Sew the fronts/backs of arms together, leaving a gap to turn right side. I left a gap at the wrist to make it easier to pull through.
10. Repeat for the felt monkey’s legs
11. Turn the arms and the legs right side.
12. Hand-stitch the gap closed
13. Pin the felt monkey’s front and back body pieces together (outsides touching) and pin the ears in position.
14. Stuff the arms and pin into position in the body
15. Sew around the stuffed monkey’s body, starting from the leg area on the left side to the leg area on the right side, clockwise over the head
16. Turn the monkey right side out
17. Stuff the legs and hand-sew into the monkey’s body
18. Stuff the monkey’s body and hand-stitch the opening shut

To make the stuffed monkey’s blanket:

1. Cut two squares of fabric
2. Place the squares with outsides facing and pin together
3. Sew around the squares, leaving a gap at one corner
4. Turn the blanket right side out
5. Hand-stitch the gap closed
6. Top-stitch all the way around the blanket
7. Stitch one corner of the blanket to the monkey’s hand

Notes on sewing your own Felt Monkey Toy:

• Using a smaller than normal stitch length ensures the seams won’t bust once the monkey is stuffed
• Reinforce the stitching in places that might be susceptible (arms/legs)
• There are many other ways to attach the arms/legs. I chose to stuff the arms/legs separate from the body because I wanted a seam there.
• The monkey’s finished size came out to be less than 8 inches (I can’t remember exactly.) If I were to make him again, I would probably enlarge the pattern to make him easier to work with.

If you use our pattern to make this monkey or some variation, please send us some pictures!! I would love to see it! Join the FWLD Facebook group to share things you’ve sewn from our patterns!
