A baby orangutan doll, knitted flat in pieces, and them seamed and assembled. The face requires intarsia, and the limbs use bobbles and slipped stitches. Overall, the pattern is intermediate level.
The key to making this toy successful is your choice of yarn for the body. You want a rusty red colour, and a yarn that’s either fuzzy, or loosely plied so you can brush it to make it fuzzy (The yarn used for the sample was Knit Pick’s Suri Dream, which is a discontinued yarn. However, any soft yarn with alpaca or mohair would make a good choice)
