After stitching one sock as in the pattern piece on the left, cut between the sewing lines, turn rightside out, stuff! |
See my cute butt??? Whip stitch the opening between the legs shut. |
Tie a ribbon or piece of yarn tightly to define the head area... a nice bow is in order!
|
The monkey begins to take life, doesn't he???
|
Here are the pieces stitched and cut out of the second sock.
|
Turn the pieces rightside out, stuff. Here are the arms and tail.
|
Stitch the arms on, using the neckline as a guide. The tail gets stitched to the center of the red bottom!
|
Line up the mouth piece on the white part of the head. Stitch around the lower edge first, stuff, and then sew the top shut.
|
Turn the ears rightside out - stuff lightly if you prefer, and sew to the sides of the head.
|
Tie a knot in a piece of black yarn, and sew on the eyes and mouth. Don't worry about the knot showing --- the hat will cover it up.
|
Add a little bow with ribbon or yarn to the top of the hat. Roll the edge of the hat piece up and stitch in place, then attach to monkey's head securely. |
Add a stitched heart or button to the monkey's chest... give him a hug! He's done and ready to be loved!
