Thanks again for posting this pattern...I made one for my sister, who LOVES monkeys...for her, I put a 30-chain hanging loop on the top so it would function as a luggage tag (slip the loop through a zipper/part of a handle/ whathaveyou, tuck monkey through loop, pull to tighten.) Sorry, no picture, forgot to take one before I gave it to her. I printed the pattern earlier in August (via different thread?) anyway, it's a great pattern!
