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.
