HERstory: Jane Goodall, and her chimpanzees who taught us about humanity

She displayed a natural love for the outdoors and animals from a very early age. When she was just over a year old, her fath the er gave her, as an alternati tiv ve to a  Teddy  Teddy bear, a stuffed chimpanzee, chimpanzee, in honor of a baby chimpanzee just born at   the London Zoo. Within the family, family, many weren’t fond of the idea and thought it   would terrify the baby and give her nightmares. But little Jane absolutely love loved d it, it, na name med d him him “Ju Jubi bile lee e”, an and d star starte ted d carr rryi yin ng him ever eryw ywh here ere.

After a few seconds, they would pull out the termite-covered termite-covered stick and pick off   the tasty termites with their lips. This became one of Jane's most important discoveries. discoveries. Until  then, only humans were thought to create tools. On hearing of Jane's observation, Leakey Leakey famously said: "Now we must redefine “tool”, redefine “Man”, or accept chimpanzees as humans".  The chimpanz pattern first bornlittle at Gchimpanzee ombe afteee r Jin anthis e’s acrochet rrival.

These pictures are part of the reason why I decided to depict her in her late twenties, instead of choosing a more adult period of her career.  Jane's work in Gombe became more and more widely known and, in 1965, the University of  Cambridge awarded Jane a Ph.D. in ethology; she was one of very few candidates to receive a Ph.D. with tho out having first possessed a degree. She surely managed to make 1 or 2 members of   the academia quite jelly! Many of them, in response, openly criticized her choice of naming the chimpanzee rather than numbering them. Her entire work was based on the idea that these animals had personalities, a theory which not many were ready to accept yet.  Today  Today Jane is almost 90 years old, and has no intention to retire! Overall, she has been studying chimpanzees in the field for over 60 years.

 The pattern is still to be worked worked tight, but don’t  don’t  go crazy or finger-breaking ;)

Stitch marker usage

 Tip: measure your gauge

I place the stitch marker on the LAST st of the

Measure the dimensions of your stitches or compare them with those of the rest of the project   to understand understand if you’re proceeding proceeding well. For example: the stitches of the wig are smaller  than those of of the head, despite the indications indications said to work it with the same tension? It will most  likely not fit :) If you’re planning on making more characters of   the same series, series, and you want to make them all alike, don’t forget to keep another doll close so you can compare the sts dimensions and adjust  your gauge.  Tiny variations in the the thickness of the yarn, your your mood, but also other factors such as lighting,

 Don’t work inside out! If you’re working correctly and you’re right  handed, you should work clockwise keeping the crochet hook between you and the work (counterclockwise if you're left-handed). If you’re right handed and you’re working counterclockwise keeping the work between you and your crochet  hook, then you’re working inside out. You’ll have a hard time following this pattern if you do so, I’d suggest you correct it.

 together with your your natural improvement improvem ent gauge. as a crafter, can play a role in impacting your  That’s perfectly perfectly normal! Just take your your time to adjust it if needed.

 YU vs YO stitches Some parts in this pattern are worked YU (Yarn Under) i.e. using the “X” stitch. Others are worked YO (yarn over), over), i.e. using the “V” stitch. You find more info about the two in the dedicated post in my IG profile.  The choice of of stitch type is mainly mainly aesthetical aesthetical and doesn’t impact the result more than how a change in gauge would. Feel free to follow it all using only 1 kind of stitch, if that makes you more comfortable.

Gauge I used to work the body of my dolls extremely  tight. Since it’s it’s not easy easy to work as as tight as I do and I want to make my patterns as reproducible as possible, for this series I tried loosening up my  tension a bit. bit. Using the “x” stitch helped helped a lot! lot! The fact the stitch is “fuller” allows me to work a bit  more relaxed while still avoiding annoying holes in the fabric.

Anyhow, my advice is to avoid picking a yarn much thicker than indicated, to avoid a sloppy result: maximum 1 size bigger!

Materials ★ 2.0 mm crochet hook

Dimensions

 Tapestry needle ★  Tapestry ★ 8 mm black safety eyes ★ Stuffing (poly fiber fill or other)

Using the yarn and hook size indicated (and, most  importantly,, working tight!!!), the finished importantly amigurumi will be about 8x5 cm.

★ Yarn all in the same size of the following

colors. I’ve used YarnArt Jeans: ○ Pastel yellow (67): hair ○ Peach (73): skin ○ Mustard (84): eyebrows ○ Black (53): details ○ White (01): details ○ Beige (07): shorts, chimpanze chimpanzee e ○ Khaki (82): shirt  ○ Brown (40): chimpanzee ★ Fabric glue

 Note on the eyes eyes  The right safety safety eye size depends depends on the doll’s doll’s dimensions! Don’t purchase 8 mm eyes if you’re not sure the dimensions of your doll will be similar to mine. My advice is to purchase a box with many different sizes, and use the one which better suits your doll. Approximately, safety eyes should be 2.5 stitches wide.

 Note on the yarn yarn I used YarnArt Jeans, which is a yarn made to be worked with a 3 or 3.5 mm hook (it comes only in 1 size, so you can’t go wrong). As usual when working amigurumis, I’ve used a hook 1 size smaller than indicated to better work the body  tight, thus avoiding holes holes in the ccrochet rochet from which the stuffing would be visible or fall  through. You should get a good result with wit h this pattern as long as you stick to one yarn brand/size, brand/size, work  the body tight with a hook 1 size smaller smaller than indicated, and scale the other hooks accordingly. accordingly.
