Hi everyone, I've never posted on here but have read pretty much the whole thread for inspiration before starting my first sock monkeys!!!





They're not exactly perfect but hopefully I'll get better as I go along! Might stick to fluffy socks as I am sewing by hand and they hide a multitude of sins!

Thanks everyone for all your ideas, keep up the sock monkeying

They are both fab but i do love the fluffy one :-)

just need to finish the eyes and mouth on my second one, sent hubby for some socks and he paid a fortune for them (£1.99 pair) so will keep them for cupcakes :-)

it did take me an absolute age and my sewing is terrible! Don't think I have a career in monkey-making :rotfl:

Just wanted to make a couple of practice ones as my aim is to make a pink one for my sister who is due to give birth in a couple of weeks. Just got to keep a look out for some nice pink fluffy socks now!

Gorgeous monkeys everyone. Peacocks have fluffy pink sockes with white spots that I made a sock monkey out of.

Ive finished two union jack monkeys as christmas presents and have one more in the making. I'm looking for a pair of long Cath Kidston socks with a floral pattern on them to make one for my Mum but I don't seem to be able to find any. Do they exsist? My Dad I think will love his union jack sock monkey that is probably going to be holding a gift voucher and wrapped up in cello with a bow:D
