About this pattern

A copper brown monkey sits on a level tree branch, seen from the side and looking left. It has a pale face with a dark eye and a white glint, a round ear on the side of its head, a pale hand resting on its knee and a pale foot flat on the branch. Its long tail comes from its rump, lies over the front of the branch and hangs straight down, curling up at the tip. A leaning twig with two green leaves grows from the branch on the right. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 62 by 56 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

62 stitches wide by 56 high: 1,355 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Copper 921, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869 and 4 more).
