Tales of a Monkey outfit and banana rattle
It is amazing how a Facebook post can remind you of something you did years ago and get you looking for things. I once upon time wrote crochet patterns, made things and sewed…ALOT. I searched and found a pattern that I hope will help someone to make their little one look adorable. Pattern is posted below for free use. Please give credit for pattern to ChrisCrossCrafts. Thank you
