Sock Monkey Patterns

Sock monkeys began in 1920 and were made out of red heeled work socks. The red heel made a perfect mouth and of course buttons were sewn on for the eyes. Years later we find these same adorable monkeys made out of all types of printed socks.

Make a sock monkey with socks that have pink or blue stripes, one with a heart or even one wearing a hat.
