Free Pattern Friday: Monkeying Around

This week's Free Pattern Friday link list was compiled by Evin of Spring Stitches.

Monkeys are like us, but without the hindrance of mobile phones and vacuums - which makes them such a barrel of fun! Why we love them, I don't know, but here are a few patterns that make us want to swing from a tree and shout "Free Pattern Friday"!
