Yay! Finished Project.
These sweaters took two years to finish. Actually, the 1st one took one month and the 2nd two years. The monkey is called Banana Chippy. He's a collectible character in Taiwan like Hello Kitty. I am having trouble finding him in the States.
I took a pic of Banana Chippy and enlarged it, then transferred it to a graph for the intarsia. It was neat to see it work out.
The sweaters are for my cousin's twins. They just turned two in November and are the year of the monkey.

Sweater Base Pattern: Simple Knits for Little Cherubs by Erika Knight (Pattern altered)
