Sock Monkey [Pronunciation: sok muhng-kee] - where something ordinary becomes something extraordinary.

During the Depression, store bought toys were desirable but unattainable extravagances. Thrifty mothers, accustomed to using materials over & over, refashioned worn socks into various toy creatures for their children to play with. The sock monkey was born!

Now you can make one of your very own. These instructions have been written with kids in mind (suggested for ages 10+) so are simple and easy for anyone to follow. All you need to know how to do is a simple whip stitch or back stitch.

This particular listing if for the instructions and pattern only and they will be sent to you as a pdf file. You will need 1 pair of socks, buttons for eyes, stuffing, a needle and thread.

I also have kits available which provide everything you need to make this classic sock monkey, you'll just need to provide a pair of scissors.
