Sock Snowmen

For anyone making these....

Went into to Tescos Yesterday and they had white school socks (Pk of 6) for £1.25 (down from £3 a Pk) Picked a few packs up for making the snowmen.

Thought it was a good price.

Thanks sarah............I was going to venture to Tescos this morning but 'rain stopped play'.................definitely having a go at these as they're 'no sew' and look really easy

They look really good! Great idea with lavender - would be a good thing to sell on a Xmas Fair stall.

owen - thanks for the links. I had a go at the sock snowman last year but didn't use tube socks so got in a bit of a pickle with it.
Love the baby one.................might have a got at that :j

shall add to my list-they look sweet and quite easy.I wonder if l should use rice for stability or stick to stuffing with plyester in case a child gets it.Any thoughts??

stardrops42

Think I would stick to rice as thats what will make it stand upright and provide the extra weight in the base. I think its like all xmas ornaments they're not always safe for a child to play with so we just have to be careful and maybe keep them out of reach of small hands

Hi sharon59 - I'm sorry I can't give you the pattern as my mam makes them for me, but I will ask her if she can maybe write it down as I know she doesn't normally work from a pattern. I can then post it on here for you or send you a pm;)

Hi Stardrops - I"d love the pattern as well - pretty please!

I am just unearthing my sewing machine and about to get started with my first sock monkey - you have all inspired me to make a start.
