    Yep = already thinking who I can make them for.
    Then I'll try other sock things on this thread - the list is endless.

    BTW nuttybabe, I did him by hand. About 3 hours in total.

    thats quick!!! when i did them by hand i took a whole evening (sometimes 5 hours or more) to sew and then another evening to do the outfit like knitting a hat and scarf! But then i am quite slow at sewing and have the computer next to me and am always taking breaks!! :P

    Not tried any extras like clothes yet, but have a few ideas.
    I was the same with my Rag Doll - had to do a bit extra.

    I have a question please.
    Do you all stuff your monkeys soft or firm ,mine always look a bit skinny ,should I stuff the body really well or just cuddly?

    I made mine cuddly. Just firm enough to stay upright.

    Have just made another Sock Monkey, slightly smaller, including a hat in exactly 2 hours, all by hand, so quite pleased with that.
