Crochet Tutorial: Garden Monkey Girl in Blue Daisy Dress with Teacup Bag and Tea Accessories – Free Crochet Pattern.

This garden monkey girl is a sweet amigurumi doll with a tan face, brown head and limbs, round side ears, a blue daisy dress with a white lace hem, matching flower sandals, a yellow teacup crossbody bag, a daisy flower crown, a straw sun hat, a small teapot, and a tiny cupcake. The finished doll has a seated garden-tea-party look with soft sculpting and detailed accessories.

Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.

Finished Size and Construction Notes

• Finished doll height: About 11.5 inches from top of flower crown to sandal sole when using DK cotton yarn and a 2.5 mm hook.
• Main body style: Large round head, shorter seated body, long slim arms, straight legs, rounded muzzle, large flat ears, fitted blue dress, and removable-style accessories sewn in place.
• Worked style: Most pieces are worked in continuous spiral rounds. Do not join unless the pattern says to join.
• Stitch tension: Use firm, tight stitches so the stuffing does not show. The doll in the image has compact, even amigurumi texture.
• Safety note: Use embroidered eyes instead of plastic eyes if making this doll for a child under 3 years old.

Materials

• DK weight cotton yarn in warm tan, medium brown, denim blue, white, yellow, straw beige, pale blue, pale pink, gray, dark brown, black, and a small amount of bright pink.
• 2.5 mm crochet hook for the doll and clothing.

• 8 mm black safety eyes or black embroidery thread.
• Fiberfill stuffing.
• Yarn needle, stitch markers, sewing pins, scissors.

Gauge

With DK cotton yarn and a 2.5 mm hook, 6 sc and 7 rounds should measure about 1 inch. Gauge is not only about size here; it also controls firmness. If your stitches look loose, go down a hook size. If your doll becomes stiff and hard to shape, go up slightly.

• White: daisies, lace hem, sandal flowers, cupcake frosting, flower crown.

FO, leaving a long tail. Close the opening. Keep the top and back smooth. The front will be covered by the tan face patch, muzzle, and embroidery.

Tan Heart-Shaped Face Patch

This patch creates the pale tan monkey face seen in the image. It is wide at the cheeks, dips gently at the top center, and narrows near the lower muzzle area. Work in turned rows, then crochet around the edge.

1. Row 1: With warm tan and 2.5 mm hook, ch 7. Sc in 2nd ch from hook and across. 6 sts.
2. Row 2: Ch 1, turn, inc, sc 4, inc. 8 sts.

Do not fasten off yet. Sc evenly around the full patch: 10 sc down the first side, 6 sc across the lower edge, 10 sc up the second side, and 8 sc across the upper edge. Sl st to the first edging sc and FO, leaving a long sewing tail.

Pin the patch to the front of the head from rounds 8 to 24. The top dip should sit between the eyes, and the widest part should frame the cheeks. Sew neatly through the back loops of the patch edge.

Raised Muzzle

The muzzle is oval, puffy, and centered low on the tan face patch. It gives the monkey the soft garden-doll expression shown in the image.

1. Rnd 1: With warm tan, ch 7. Sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc 4, 3 sc in last ch. Work along the other side of chain, sc 4, inc in last ch. 14 sts.
2. Rnd 2: Inc, sc 4, inc 3 times, sc 4, inc 2 times. 20 sts.
3. Rnd 3: Sc 1, inc, sc 4, sc 1, inc, sc 1, inc, sc 1, inc, sc 4, sc 1, inc, sc 1, inc. 26 sts.
4. Rnd 4: Sc around. 26 sts.
5. Rnd 5: Sc 5, inc, sc 7, inc, sc 5, inc, sc 6. 29 sts.
6. Rnd 6: Sc around. 29 sts.

FO, leaving a long tail. Stuff lightly so the muzzle remains rounded but not bulky. Sew it to the lower center of the face patch, covering rounds 17 to 25 of the head. The top of the muzzle should sit just below the eyes.

Facial Embroidery

• Place eyes between head rounds 15 and 16, about 9 stitches apart, through the tan face patch.
• Use dark brown thread to embroider a vertical line from the center of the muzzle down 5 rounds.
• From the top of that line, stitch two short diagonal lines to form a soft Y-shaped monkey nose.
• Add one short curved mouth stitch on each side, using very small backstitches.
• Add a tiny white highlight stitch on each eye if using embroidered eyes.

Round Side Ears

The ears are wide, round, and placed at both sides of the head. Each ear has a medium brown outer piece and a warm tan inner piece. The image shows thick outer rims, so sew the tan circle slightly inside the brown circle.

Outer Ear, Make 2

1. Rnd 1: With medium brown, MR, 6 sc. 6 sts.
2. Rnd 2: Inc around. 12 sts.
3. Rnd 3: Sc 1, inc, repeat around. 18 sts.

Body and Neck

The body is smaller than the head and hidden under the blue dress. Use medium brown for the neck and upper body base. The dress bodice is crocheted separately so the texture looks like fitted clothing instead of color-change skin.

1. Rnd 1: With medium brown, MR, 6 sc. 6 sts.
2. Rnd 2: Inc around. 12 sts.
3. Rnd 3: Sc 1, inc, repeat around. 18 sts.

6. Sew the legs to the lower body so they hang straight below the skirt.
7. Sew the arms at the shoulders, angled downward beside the dress.
8. Sew the head firmly to the neck, checking that the face points forward.
9. Add all dress daisies, sandal daisies, and the flower crown.
10. Place the teacup strap over the shoulder and sew the bag lightly to the dress so it stays in position.
11. Finish the sun hat, teapot, and cupcake as separate tea-party accessories.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Pin every part before sewing. The monkey should have a large head, rounded ears, slim brown arms, straight hanging legs, and a blue dress that flares softly over the seated body. The teacup bag should cross from the upper left shoulder to the lower right side of the dress.

Use small stitches when sewing the face patch so the edge stays smooth. The muzzle must be centered and lightly stuffed. The embroidered nose should form a clear dark Y shape, with a straight vertical line down the middle of the muzzle.

Sew the flower crown across the upper forehead, not too far back. The daisies should sit in a gentle curve above the tan face patch. Add dress daisies only to the front skirt, leaving the back cleaner and easier to handle.

Care Notes

• Spot clean with cool water and mild soap.
• Do not soak the doll if cardboard or plastic canvas is used inside the accessories.
• Let the doll air dry flat on a towel.
• Reshape the ears, skirt hem, hat brim, and teacup bag while damp.
• Keep away from high heat, direct sunlight, and rough play if using delicate lace details.

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

For long-term display, keep the monkey doll in a dry place with good airflow. Dust it gently with a soft brush, especially around the flower crown, lace hem, teacup handle, and sandal straps. Avoid pulling the small flowers because their petals are delicate.

If the doll needs deeper cleaning, dampen a cloth with cool water and gently press the stained area. Do not rub the face embroidery or flower centers. After cleaning, pat with a dry towel and allow the doll to dry naturally before storing.

Store the sun hat, teapot, cupcake, and doll together in a breathable cotton bag or display box. Do not compress the hat brim or the dress lace. A small piece of tissue inside the teacup bag can help preserve its shape.
