Spotty Sock Monkey




Well... having seen and fallen in love with these guys on a business page where some lady was selling them onFacebook... I decided I needed one each for my boys and for a mindee who is monkey mad and leaving in a few weeks.... due to the popularity of them I was never quick enough to buy one - no sooner do they get posted they are sold i.e 27 going in under 2 mins!!!!
So I went off to Asda last might on a sock hunt and I decided to hunt down a pattern on t'internet and make my own...

Easy peasy lemon squeezy later and here she is..... Well actually this is the 2nd one I made ( haven't pictured the first one yet - this one was taken tonight as its going to be a pressie tomorrow!)
I even managed to find some scraps of fleece from a no-sew poncho I made for my friends daughter at Christmas time to make a fluffy hat!!!
My boys have fallen in love with them too, they were gutted this one was being given away so I now have a list and have bought a book with patterns to make other animals and creatures...
How exciting!!
So watch this space for more sock creatures as time goes on and the boys make their demands x
