    About

    This pattern is for an orangutan which I've made before so I've made it this time as a mountain gorilla. I wanted my gorilla to be sitting so I used the arms and legs from the Orangutan Tea Cosy pattern and the baby gorilla using the Baby Oragutan pattern.

        Thanks Trish, I'm never sure whether the image in my mind actually turns out successfully and I've had quite a few that haven't but this one turned out okay.

        Hi Michelle, I sell all my stuff eventually so I can make more, otherwise I'd disappear in a pile of toys, I just love making them.

        Thanks so much Alison, the enjoyment of making them made up for the fact that it was all very grey 😄

        Thanks so much, I viewed a lot of gorilla images on my phone whilst making up which helped.
