Red Monkey

Sylvia is a pretty physical child and has been referred to as a little monkey on multiple occasions. When I saw this pattern for a monkey bib, I knew I needed to make it for Jamie and Sylvia.

I figured that since I know they use a lot of knitted washcloths, I would convert the pattern to a washcloth instead. The result was just fine except for that the monkey is really hard to see. The image appears through a contrast of textures and it doesn't stand out well. The photo does a better job of capturing it than looking at it in person does. I hope that once it gets used, washed and dried a bunch of times, the cloth will shrink and the texture will stand out better.
