Does anyone know how to make Monkey Socks? My grand daughter (16) wanted a sock monkey for Christmas and no one knew! So she asked me if I could make her one since I told her my brother and his wife used to make them and sold them for a good price but that was 30 years ago! Since then she has passed away and there is no asking my brother, he wouldn't know where to start. So I told her I'll ask some of you here and see what we can come up with. OR if anyone makes them to sell please let me know!

I appreciate the help. Thanks ... Kathy :D

I have seen patterns for sock monkeys in the crafts section of pattern books at JoAnn's. Haven't looked recently, though.

Try this one.

Our local Kmart sells the socks for the monkeys, I made about 10 of these one year for Christmas (a long time ago).

The directions for a monkey and an elephant are on the package of socks I bought.

If you google 'red heel sock monkey' you will find tons of information on making them and getting supplies.

I made 2 for gifts this Christmas. There are free patterns all over the web. Can't remember which one I used but they were all about the same. Also cross stitched one too.

My grandmother made them for everyone and I lost her pattern. My solution was to go strait to Ebay. There I found lots of detailed patterns, socks, and instructions for minimal cost! I ended up ordering a mini pattern with the cutest mini socks. My monkeys are only about 4" tall and 3" wide! Good luck and happy stitching :)

Donna, That is so cute I may have to make myself one...

Here's the site for the pattern, socks, etc. http://www.sockmonkey.com/Red_Heel_Socks.html
