Sock Monkeys

I never knew my niece and nephew liked sock monkeys until we visited Midway Village Museum - located in Rockford, Illinois, the birthplace of the first ever sock monkey. The kids decided we had to come back in the spring for Sock Monkey Madness. In the meantime, I decided to make sock monkeys for them.

I bought some original Rockford Red Heel socks - the directions for making sock monkeys is right on the inside label. Other patterns are available online, but I used the original pattern on the sock label. Step-by-step details are on my blog.

Materials: One pair original Rockford Red Heel socks (per monkey), fiber fill, red and black felt, black embroidery floss, thread to match socks.

    I’ve made so many great memories playing Among Us with friends! The game has created countless hilarious moments and inside jokes. I appreciate how it brings people together and makes for unforgettable experiences.

    I love making sock monkeys! My grandma use to make these for her grandchildren, but mine never got them due to her getting a stroke. So with the tradition in mind, I have made them for my grand nephews and nieces when they turn a year old. I think for Christmas this year I will have to make them for my two adult sons, whom have never received one. They just make you smile, and each one I have made has a personality all its' own. I even make them clothes.
