    I cut the pattern for the socks from denim and it made a great blue jean monkey. Cotton fabric should work the same as socks. Easier too, no rolling edges.

    Oh my gosh, I'm so glad you asked this question. I had one of these when I was a kid. It was my favorite toy. I never even thought to ask for the pattern because I figured the original was lost. (Mine was the red heel kind.) Now I have fabric and a pattern to make a sock monkey quilt. What a great gift for a grandchild (who I don't yet have) to give them a sock monkey and a matching quilt!! My son and his bride are going to have to get busy. I have so many kid quilts on my to do list, and it keeps getting longer. All I need is a kid! I won't get caught up until I have a kid!!

    The Hatcher Center in Pittsylvania County makes them. Good organization. (In Virginia)

    Everytime I think about Sock Monkeys I think of Carol Duvall - they are so cute

    warning though - you might find yourself looking there for awhile lol
    Laptop got stuck on stupid and won't let me download anything from there, but I am trying again. With 13 great grands, sounds like a wonderful page to have access too. It took me to a sign up page and than it froze up on me.

    How I have enjoyed reading all the replies. A couple months ago, my big burly grandson came to see me and the first thing out of his mouth, was "You still make sock monkeys, gramma???" Here he is 24 years old and cherishing the one I made when he was a toddler. Put a lump in my thoat. Sure glad this got posted here. Thanks

    I was going to make my greatgrandson one for Christmas, but I ordered one online, great size and USA made. He is 10 months old and was so excited when he got it. I did crochet a sock monkey hat for him. Now that was adorable. Got the pattern for that online too.
