As fun as making sock animals out of crazy patterned socks can be, every once and a while I like to do a classic craft ... no need to re-invent the wheel. I made this old-fashioned sock monkey for my cutie pie niece, Ellie. You can't beat the original.
I embroidered Ellie's initial on his heart so he won't forget who he belongs to.
Start with a pair of original Rockford Red Heel Socks (you can get them in fun colors, too, like pink and blue) and follow the instructions at Supersockmonkey.com.

This is so cute!! I want to make some...I think I am going to do my son's second birthday as "monkey themed". This would be so perfect!
Oh, what size socks did you use? And how did you do the little hat/pom pom?
I just love these!
I am doing my son's first birthday as a Sock Monkey themed party. So I was excited to see your craft! I will attempt to make this!
It sounds like something I need to make for my baby... it could keep me busy until he is born within the next two weeks.
I love sock monkeys, but I've never made one with that type of sock. I used some bright pink-with stripes knee highs. That thing has the longest arms, tail, and legs that you've ever seen! :-D
LOVE the elephant on the tutorial link! Can't wait to make a few of those for some of the little boys I know who will be entering this world soon!
Sock monkeys are so cute...love the heart on yours! They were popular back when I was a kid...and they've made a SUPER comeback!
Love it! Saving this to my "projects" bookmark...which seems to be filling up faster than I'm producing crafts...:\
I Love making them too....this most have been the weekend to make them ..I made 3 this weekend....
Your is soooo cute.....your niece is going to Love It !!!

It's wonderful! There is just something so special and cozy about a sock monkey!
where do you buy your socks??? I looked all over and couldn't find any like this.
her initial embroidered on his heart is adorable...'so he won't forget who he belongs to' i love that.
How about you make 2 and I'll buy them from you??!! I couldn't even begin to make one of those! Very cute!
