Sock monkeys!

irishgirl62

I have three sock monkeys done, but they have no mouth arms or tails yet but they have hats and scarfs! I must stuff the tails and arms today and sew them on.

How and what did you use for the hair?...i think it looks great

Thanks 4 your kind comments;)

I used double knitting wool,
cut it into lengths,
take one length tie a knot at one end
thread the needle then push the needle through from the inside of the sock toe/head part & pull the wool through,(it is held in place by the knot which is inside the sock)
repeat about a million times until you have a head of hair!
Then seperate all the strands of wool to make the 'hair' look thicker!

Hope that all makes sense,i am not very good a discribing, :rolleyes:
