I've just made these which I'm really chuffed with and I'll list them on my Folksy page once I get the chance (and the weather!) to take better photos.

Wow its amazing what you can do with a pair of socks.....they are brilliant sm1971. Are they easier to make than monkeys?

I have a book called Stray Sock Sewing which makes the whole thing very straightforward!

What other things do they have in that book.....it's an intriguing title!

hippos, pigs (my personal favourite!), cats, rabbits and more, and the instructions are really easy to follow too.

I will have to have a browse through that book next time I'm in the library. What can't you do
with a pair of socks!
