Pastel Stripe DIY Sock Monkey Kit

During the Depression store bought toys were an unattainable extravagance. For this reason thrifty mothers began to refashion 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. The kit has all that you need to make a classic sock monkey including:

* A pair of socks perfect for monkey making - in the colour shown
* An illustrated instruction sheet
* Stuffing to make your monkey cuddly (vacuum sealed)
* Thread, a needle, buttons and felt for eyes
* A Perky Nana to keep your energy up!

All packaged in a robust and reusable box so you can take your project with you anywhere you go. The only thing you need is a pair of scissors sharp enough to cut through fabric.

The instructions are easy to follow (suggested for ages 10+). All you need to be able to do is a simple whip stitch or back stitch - anything that will hold a seam closed. Your sock monkey will take you about 2 hours to create and when you've done one you can just keep on going with any socks you like!
