Are you a Hou?

Hou is the Chinese word for Monkey.
The monkey is a very clever animal and is usually compared to a smart person.  The monkey ranks 9th of the 12 animals in the Chinese Zodiac. 

Each year is related to an animal sign according to a 12-year-cycle and this year, 2016, is the Year of the Monkey.  So FiberDoodles by K4TT brings you a Monkey to crochet for your own.  

Marcelo the Monkey will be available for purchase 09 January 2016 on etsy.com.

Years of the Monkey: 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016, and 2028.

Those born under the Chinese Zodiac of the Monkey are thought of as being clever, enthusiastic, self-assured, innovative, and intelligent, especially in their career and with their money.  They are also quite mischievous and known to be pranksters.
They are lively, quick-witted and flexible. Their gentleness and honesty is thought to bring them an everlasting love life. 
However, Monkeys still have a few, hard to miss, shortcomings. Monkeys are known for their impulsive temper, jealousy, arrogance and highbrow tendencies, which can prove a real challenge to any relationship they may have.
