This is a little project that I have wanted to try for a while. And, with the weather being the absolute pits lately, I needed a distraction from all the rain we've been having. (You would think I would be used to the rain by now, having lived in the Lower Mainland for 14+ years but I am so ready for some sunshine!) Here is my first try at making a sock monkey. He looks a little "thick" in the neck but for my first try I am pretty happy!
There are lots of patterns on the internet for the traditional monkey. http://vintagesockmonkey.com/Sock_Monkey_Modern_Pattern.htmlI also found this website for a more 'modern' looking monkey. I would love to find some of these striped socks and try making a few into monkeys. I think they would make cute baby presents. http://www.craftpassion.com/2012/04/how-to-sew-sock-monkey.html/2
For now, this little guy will just sit on Jocelyn's crib or be added to the 'stuffy' basket in our home.
