During knitting, you can put a weighting agent on the bottom . I have a five-kopeck coin . The body then turns out to be more stable and the monkey sits very well . Fill the body with filler . We leave the end of the thread for sewing and cut it off . I get such a stable vase

Tail :
At the beginning of mating, I leave a small tip of the thread , then to fix the tip of the wire .We knit on 4 single crochet in a spiral up to 10-12 cm . Guided by the size of your monkey and your desire .
That’s EVERYTHING !!!The monkey is wonderful sits , stands well and …wonderfully monkey )))
Before starting the assembly, we need to take measurements . After all, we were binding different densities , different threads, etc. . We do just such a layout .
We measure the length of the wire for the legs .Be sure to add for the palms and feet . For my monkey size, I add a minimum of 3 cm for the foot at both ends , for the palm – 2.5 cm and on the tail : for the loop at the tip -1 cm , for fastening – 1.5 cm .At one end of the wire we make loops and wrap ( fix ) them with tape , adhesive tape , electrical tape, or others . fixing material .
This is how it looks to me . Tail , arms , legs .
We introduce the wire into the intended location of the handles and legs . We make symmetrical loops at the other end of the wire . We wrap ( fix ) the loops
We put connected blanks for the legs on the wire . We sew them to the body . H it is fixed and cut off . For the ponytail, thread the wire into the right place.
We put the tail piece on the wire , sew the tail to the body . We fix and cut the thread . At the tip of the tail, we make several stitches , grabbing a loop of wire inside . We fix and cut the thread.
