Sock monkeys!

Clairwop; Well, the first one I made wasn't the best but after lots of practise I am happy
with what I make.
These are the wee twins Wee Jock and Joe that have just come off the operating table!

Sock monekys are pretty easy. And there are some good instructions on the net, with step by step photos. My main issue at first was that I was not putting enough stuffing in.

Oh, and for people looking for socks, I was in my local Tesco today and they had reduced loads of packs in the womens!! They were 3 or 4 pairs in a set for £1.75. The 3 pairs, you kinda get 1 stripy, 1 plain and 1 patterned. I tend to use the stripy ones for a funky monkey. Then the plain ones for a basic monkey, then cut up the pattered ones (as to make the monkey out the patterend ones, the pattern ends up upside down), so, I cut the patterened ones in to like t shirts and hats for the plain monkeys. But the 4 pack I got today, was kinda a pink leopard pattern, so I am sure I can find something to do with that

In the process of making my first baby monkey, and still have a rabbit that I need to finish for easter (my first one with sculpting)

I got gorgeous kids socks from asda yesterday going to make car sock monkeys this afternoon... does anyone know how to make the hats out of socks? i am used to knitting hats but would like to try the sock hats.

Thanks for replying to me,

I will have a go, I'm limited with the movement in my right arm, so not sure if I can do it, although I can make jewellery.
