My sweet granddaughter loves sock monkeys........ and I love her. While we were shopping she found these socks. So, I made some monkeys.
Knee socks work best for long legs and arms. I like the hot pink and red. I added some sculpted toes and "fingers". 
The two red ones will be finding their way to Minnesota and I have 10 more in the making. It has been fun watching their personalities emerge as I sew on the faces. More fun will be seeing my granddaughters faces when they get their monkeys.

She's gonna be SO excited. I can't wait to show her the photos when she gets home from school. You are the BEST Grandma EVER!!
OMG, OMG These are SOOOOOO AWESOME!
[My fav'...oh, so hard to pic one...but, um...the one in the middle, bottome pic']
Your granddaughter has great taste in knee socks - these are so cool.
You should sell them - I have never seen any THIS cute. :)
Oh Kathy! Those are adorable and so very professional looking. I'm quite surprised you can do this. I'm hopeless with a needle and thread, you know. Wish you could teach me...
those are way cute! i love sock monkeys!
Well, aren't you a clever little monkey!
I know they came from socks (because you told us so) but I'll be damned if I can see a sock in there at all.
So incredibly cute...you need to set up an Etsy shop!!!
Love you and miss you so much.
So adorable, I want one! Or how do you make them? You are such a good Grandmother!!
Those are darling! Lucky girls.
They are so cute! She will love them. I really like the red and pink one, so cute.
Those are wonderful creations. They turned out so nice. Did you have a pattern? It looks like something I would like to try and my granddaughter would enjpy them too.
how cute! you r really the best GRANDMA
Those are adorable! I bought Alexander and Kaitlyn sock monkeys for Christmas but they're not nearly as adorable as these. Yes, you need to set up a shop and I'll buy one from you. I like the red one in the bottom picture, too. Actually, I like them all.
Great job! I can't sew at all. If I can't glue it, tape it, or staple it - I can't do it.
I am SO EXCITED! I love you Grandma!!
Those are adorable!!
Hello Kathy
I've never seen these before, is it a craft peculiar to your area?
Could I find instructions on the web maybe? they look like fun companions for kids.
Take care
Cathy

Those sock monkeys are adorable. There's something about them that just make me grin from ear to ear.
