How to make this sock monkey
Things you need: The
modern sock monkey pattern
The first thing attached was the mouth. I made sure to position the top edge of the sock monkeys mouth below the top two mosaic squares. The top two squares are used for the eyes. Positioning the mouth lower than I normally would made this monkey kind of like a cone head, oh well, never mind! She's still cute! Eyes: The printed pattern on this particular sock has a white flower in one of the squares in the eye area. It was utilized as one of the eyes by embroidering black thread into the center of the flower. The second eye was created by cutting an oval shape from white felt, embroidering a pupil with black thread and then stitching it to the toys head. Ears: The ears were slightly stuffed and embroidered with white thread.
TIP: Mosaic socks are great for kids to use when making sock monkey dolls, they absolutely make cutting out the pattern much easier. Another tip is: Instead of cutting through both sides of the sock at the same time, cut through only one side at a time. Then you are sure to cut exactly along the white lines or what ever lines you are following.Swing from Sock Doll to Sock Monkey Pictures |
