If anything can bring laughter into a room, it must be Naerupall Niko<\/strong>. This soft little monkey began with a simple idea and a ball of yarn, but quickly grew into a fully fledged cuddle companion. Niko is big (about 70 cm), light and nicely flexible. He is happy to join in with imaginative games and just as happy to pose for photo shoots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used durable acrylic yarn and soft polyester filling. It holds its shape while keeping him light.
\nThe eyes are safety eyes, so cuddles can remain worry-free.
\nFor care, a gentle hand wash and drying flat are all he needs.
\nBecause this is a large amigurumi, each part is stuffed separately and sewn on securely. That keeps Niko sturdy even when he gets swept up in the middle of an adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behind the scenes & Bim:<\/strong> Niko came to life step by step. At one point, only the head was finished\u2026
\nand naturally Bim<\/em> was already on the scene, inspecting the quality of the work.
\n\u2018I\u2019ve got a feeling this fellow can do acrobatics under the kitchen table,\u2019 Bim nodded approvingly. \ud83d\udc3e<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Care:<\/strong> gentle hand wash, dry flat.
\nNote:<\/strong> this is handmade, so small variations in the pattern and measurements are natural and make every character unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this story made you smile, or gave you the idea that your home could use a crocheted bundle of joy too,
have a look at my handmade shop<\/a> \u2013
where crocheted and knitted pieces made in this same little workshop with Maimu and Bim are waiting for you.
Every new character brings a little warmth and childlike joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
