Sock monkeys!

meggielo

Thank you so much for the links...I never found those when I was looking on the site. Wow is the word, yes they are expensive! My Mum would go made if she knew I had spent £15 on a pair of socks to make a sock monkey out of for her. They are not even the patterns I had in mind so thats okay, I now can rest assured that they don't make the socks in the pattern I thought they did:T Saved me a bomb that has

I'm just going to get the pictures off my camera so I can show you all the two union jack monkeys I've made. I was hoping to get the third finished today but with the kids off school and me not being able to sew a stitch right for some reaseon, I gave up. I will try again tomorrow.

The one on the right looks like butter wouldn't melt!

They are great!

He looks like a big brother who is up to no good, is he leading the other astray?

Wow, what amazing sock monkeys. I'm thinking of having a go. Is there any particular set of instructions that people have found the best/easiest to follow??

Thanks

This was posted before, its a very easy tutorial to follow.

I've been lurking here for a while, and have read most of the forum whilst sewing my monkey! It's for my friend who is rather monkey and bat mad

I get mine on ebay. Usually ends up about 60p a pair depending on the seller and whats about at the time. but my mum seems to think she can get them cheaper from her local shop so we will see....
