I like to check for new patterns periodically on the Moda Bakeshop site and came across this pattern for those of you who are sock monkey fans.

If you aren't familiar with the Moda Bakeshop - check it out. They have a ton of free patterns and new ones get posted periodically. There are also tips, "weights & measures" which have ideas for using charms/layercakes, etc.
