Chester the Chimp
Meet Chester, the cheekiest little chimp to ever swing
into your knitting basket!
With his watermelon-themed shorts, ducky swimming
ring, and bright yellow-and-green sandals, Chester is

by the water or lounging under the shade of a palm
tree, this playful primate is sure to bring a smile to
everyone who meets him.
Chester is knitted flat and seamed.
