It’s April! A time for spring to start showing her face, bunnies to start hopping and Mother Earth to wake up after her sleep. It’s also Earth Month, which means my stuffed animal instinct is back. And my feels? To sew a family of the sock monkey, Marcho Here’s what happened after a few days and nights of happy sewing!

A houseful of sock monkey!!!!

Do you love them?

I have been seeing a lot of sock monkey photos in photos and internet pictures. They’re so cute and, well, happy-looking that they make me want to have one of my own, or gift my kids to make them happy. They would make a great companion for the kiddos while mummy is busy at work. That got me thinking of new stuffed monkey animal patterns – I went into the store to get a few pairs of socks (maybe 4 or 5). I left with 20! It was just impossible to resist the colorful choices available which got me thinking of the cute, colorful sock monkeys I can make with them. After sewing some prototypes and showing them to my parents and siblings, and their families, now everyone wants one.

You may want one too, so after doing some research and testing, here is my version of the sock monkey. It’s a little different from the other versions of monkey toys made of socks, and it doesn’t come with the typical red lips, but it’s just as lovely. And definitely, a great monkey stuffed animal pattern for you to try on your own. If you want a superhero version, try mine here.

Introducing the Marcho Monkey Family. Yes, I made an entire monkey family out of different sizes of socks. I had baby monkeys, toddlers, teens, and adult monkeys. The picture below is the sock monkey family – there’s a daddy and mommy, sister, brother, a set of toddler triplets, and the baby. And meet the brown monkey too. He’s the happy-go-lucky photographer who took this family photo and teaches yoga in his free time. Check out the sister monkey (she’s the one in purple stripes) – she’s got magnets on her limbs so she can be hung on any metal surface.

The Marcho Sock Monkey Family

Look at how much love the sock monkey family has for each other. They’re so huggable and cute. They love to hug humans and they hug each other too.

[Update: August 15, 2014] I have just done an amigurumi pattern for a crochet version of the sock monkey’s twin brother, the crochet amigurumi monkey, Kimira. Don’t they look identical? Click here for this free crochet pattern.

Instructions

How To Sew Marcho Sock Monkey

  1. PREPARATION:
    Prepare all materials above. 
    Take the white felt and cut the eyes following the downloaded pattern above. Mark the position for the button eye. 
    If your socks have a folded cuff, carefully remove the stitches without cutting the sock. Then, flatten out the fold so you have a longer sock length. 

    Turn the sock right-side in and align. Press with a warm iron. 
  2. DRAW PATTERN:
    Draw the pattern on the sock with an erasable fabric marker. If you don’t have the pattern, download it here and print it out. [Note: not all socks are the same so I can’t make a standard pattern for you to trace]. Cut sock
  3. PIN, SEW, CUT & TURN:
    1. Align the stripes on both layers, pin.
    2. Sew the socks (black lines) with a sewing machine, best if you have walking foot so both layers walk together. You may hand sewn too.
    3. Cut as per pattern.
    4. Cut all pieces out.sew and cut

    There will be an opening created between the legs. Use this opening to turn the sock right side out.turning opening

    1. Insert the thumb into the leg till the feet end. “Pinch” the feet end with your thumb and index finger.
    2. Push the index finger into the sock while the thumb withdrawing from the sock to turn the sock right side out.
    3. When the feet surface at the opening, pull the whole leg right side out.
    4. Repeat the same to the other leg.how to turn sock

    Finally, turn the body out. Smooth out all the seam lines.
    Turn the rest of the body parts, except the tail.
  4. STUFFING:
    Legs & Body:
    Stuff the legs with poly-fill stuffing material.

    Fill the body round and to the firmness you like.stuff sock monkey

    1. Sew slip/ladder stitch on the opening about 1/8″ from the raw edge. Let the thread loose and don’t pull it yet.
    2. After finish slip-stitching, pull the thread to close the opening.
    3. With the needle still on the sock, wrap 2 to 3 rounds of thread on it, pull the needle through while pressing the wrapping thread with your finger.
    4. Insert the needle somewhere nearby and come out from the other side. Pull the thread and cut it close to the sock. The thread will be hidden in the sock neatly. Always do this when you sew.how to sew opening on sock

    Arms: Stuff the arm with poly stuffing material until about 1/2″ from the opening.
    Roll the monkey arm with your hands to make the stuffing even and nice. You can do this now and/or after sewing up the opening.

    1. Stuffed monkey arms waiting to be sewn.
    2. Run stitches about 1/4″ from the raw edge.
    3. Pull the thread to gather a bit, push the raw edge into the arm.
    4. Tighten up the opening by pulling the thread fully, make a few stitches across, knot, and cut the thread.sew arm opening

    Both arms waiting to be assembled to the sock monkey.sock monkey arms

    Ears: 1. Stuff the ear with a small amount of poly-fill. Fold the raw edges in and slip stitch.
    2. Pull the thread to close the opening. Knot.
    3. Fold the ear vertically and slip stitch the opening seam line.
    4. The finished ear looks like this.

    Tail: Cut a piece of batting or thick aquarium filter pad, 3 times the width of the tail and the length when it is stretched or partially stretched.even tail stuffing

    Fold the batting three times and sew the end to the seam line of the tail end (wrong side).
    Whipstitch the folded batting in place until the other end.
    Sew the batting again to tail seam allowance about 1/4″ below the raw edge.
    (Note: I used this method since stuffing with poly-fill to a long narrow tail is difficult and uneven.)

    1. The batting and the tail before turning.
    2. Insert a finger into the sock and pull the tail right side out, portion by portion. Only turn the sock not the batting.
    3. Repeat (2) until you reach the end. Continue with the turning by inserting the batting into the tail until it fully gets into it.
    4. Adjust the batting so that it looks neat. Fold the raw edge in and stitch it up just like the arms method.turn and stuff tail
  5. ASSEMBLY:
    Body, arms, ears, tail, mouth, felt eye, and button eyes are all set to be assembled into a sock monkey.
    Divide the body into halve, with the top half being the face of the monkey where eyes and mouth are sewed to.sock monkey parts

    Sew Face Features: Position the felt eye with the center point align to the middle of the face portion. Pin it and sew with a blanket stitch.
    You may want to decorate the felt eye with a line of running stitch with 6 strands of embroidery floss before sewing it on the face.

    Sew the button eyes to the marked positions of the felt.
    To make the eyes attach to the face closely, insert your needle as deep as possible into the face, turn and come out to another point of the same eye. Pull the thread tightly so that the eye attaches closely to the face.

    1. Mark the mouth on the face with an erasable fabric marker. The shape is rounded corner rectangular, with bottom align to the face’s border and top covers a little on the felt eye.
    2. Fold and baste the raw edge of the mouth, then pin it in place. Slip stitch around until you are about 1″ away from the starting point.
    3. Stuff the mouth fully. Continue to slip stitch to the starting point to complete the mouth.
    4. Embroidery branch stitches across the middle of the mouth. Tips: look out for the toe seam line of the sock, this is where the middle is.

    Sew Ear & Tail: 1. Sew ears on the side of the face with slip stitch around (front and back of the ear).
    2. The front of the ear is aligned to the sideline of the monkey.
    3. The position of the tail.4. Sew it with slip stitch around too.sew ear and tail

    Sew Arm: Sew the arm on the marked position with a slip stitch around. Knot the thread and insert the needle to the other side of the arm position. Pull the thread so that arm “squeezes” into the body, knot to secure the shape.
    Sew another arm with a slip stitch.
    If you think that the arms are not “sunken” enough, pass the needle to the other side, pull the thread to get the result you want, knot the thread securely.

    Sometimes, you may find that the monkey’s head is a little tall and pointy. This is normal for adult socks due to their shape and design. I find this problem less so with children’s socks. Also, check the density of your sock stuffing. Are they packed equally or lumpy? sock monkey
  6. HEAD ADJUSTMENT (OPTIONAL):
    If you want a round sock monkey head like mine, try this: 
    1. The original pointy head is due to the toe compartment of the sock.
    2. Pinch the top of the head to decide how much you want to sew to make it rounder. Mark with an erasable marker. Gradually decrease the width from the center towards the front and the back.
    3. Join both lines with a slip stitch.
    4. Here is it, a rounder head for your monkey.head adjustment


I hope to see your version of Marcho Sock Monkey soon.

Happy Sewing!

Notes

HOW TO SECURE THE KNOT: Secure the knot by inserting the needle between the 2 threads.secure knot sewing
The knot is locked with the sock and it won’t slip away through the knits when you pull the thread during sewing.secure knot sewing

WHY DO WE HAVE TO HAND DRAWN PATTERN? Not all socks are the same size, so I can’t provide a standard printable template for this sock animal. The best way to proceed is to sketch out the sewing line by referring to the pictures. 

DOLL SIZES: For different sizes of sock animals, use different sizes of socks.

SOCK CHOICE: Socks will be stretched after they are stuffed so thick socks that are close-knit make better quality sock sheep toys. 

SEAM ALLOWANCE: Approximately 1/8” or 1/4”.
You need bigger seam allowance for loose-knit and thinner sock materials because they can be ripped off easily

STUFFING: always massage the stuffing to loosen out lumps. Long tubular parts should be rolled with both hands so any lumps will be smooth, and help to make the parts longer and firmer.

    Hi love your sock animals especially the monkeys. They are amazing.
    Is there any way you can make a video tutorial on the sock monkeys? Yours look like they have a neck, if that makes sense. Did you pull it tighter between the mouth and the top of the arms some how? Hope to get a reply, thank you in advance.

    Love your sock pattern toys. Wish there was a way to print them out without all the ads. Any suggestions? I have tried to copy and paste into a Word document, but it doesn’t allow me to make the photo images smaller, which is resulting in many pages and lots of ink that could be saved by resizing. Any help you can lend me would be much appreciated.

    These are so cute! Made one yesterday but your head is more defined in the neck giving the head a more rounded look. The only thing I can think to do is tie a tight string around the neck to make the head look more separate from the shoulders but i don’t really like that idea. Any thoughts on what i should have done different?

    Love your pattern, except for one thing…. Never put buttons on stuffed animals they are a chocking hazard.
    For the older children, put on safety eyes… , because even little children/tots/toddlers can come in contact with them..
    For monkeys for the smaller children… I use felt, sewn down, and/or embroidery the eyes on.
    I would hate to be the person who is the maker of a monkey/stuffed animal that had buttons and a child would choke on it and die….

      Hi Gabriela, You can either use you knee length socks to sew a long arm and feet monkey, or you may cut away the excessive length from knee length and change it to crew length. Hope this help and I am here to answer you if you need more info.

The most difficult for me is to make sew round shape! for example the end of arms and legs! on you epic they look so perfect!! mine have not so super round shape:/ the same with ears… how do you do it? do you sew very slowly?or you do it by hand or how can they look so perfect,and identical? awesome!!!:)

      You are right, Katasia, I sewed very slow and I lift up the presser foot when needed to make a good curve. Don’t worry if it is not perfect, the sock is stretchy, it will smooth out after the stuffing of the the curve was not very bad.

It’s just for people who want to make sockmonkeys for charity…..my blog tells all about the things I have been doing. Its growing. Monkeys bring so much joy that I’m just anxious to spread the word…..your blog is so awesome…I wondered if you wouldn’t mind?

    The blog is sockmonkeys4kids.com. There are no strings attached at all. I just do it for the pure joy of making monkeys for kids in the hospital and other hazardous places. Hope to hear from you soon…..marcia

    Last holiday we spent at Ghana. We made the monkey out of socks – which we all brought – with about 30 schoolchildren. Quite an experience for them, because they have nothing no siccors or anything and for us because it was very warm and dark in their African classroom. An experience that we and our daughters will never forget

    It means a lot to me to find the perfect monkey. I hope you can help me out on this one:)

      It is not optional, you need to stuff the tail by using the loose polyester filling or by using batting. I used batting because it gives a smooth and event tail on the monkey 🙂

      Yes, you can sew it but it will look different. The monkey will not have the buttock like those sewn with sock. Also, it will be flatter compare to the sock monkey.

    Hi there, I love your tutorial! I’m going to give these a shot as gifts (instead of party bags) for my son’s birthday party. Just wondering, in some of the picutes you have added little embroidered noses, do you do that before or after you attach the mouth?

    Reply
    • Craft Passion -

      September 27, 2014 at 10:57 am

      I did it after stuffing and sewing the mouth to the face but you can always do it before the attachment. The reason why I do it after is because the stitches are flatter and neater, when you pull the floss it will create a little “sinking” effect so it will make the nose more refine.

      Ohh…. then you will need to add a few step to modify your short sock to to crew length sock. Prepare 2 pairs of short socks, cut away the elastic part of a sock and cut out the foot part of another sock. Sew both up to get a crew length sock. Repeat the same to the other side of the sock. You will get a pair of crew length sock but with a seam line across the ankle area. Continue with the rest of the tutorial to sew the sock monkey.

    I am making these for Christmas using adult socks. I finished one and the body appeared out of proportion to the rest. Can you measure your adult one’s body and tell me how long it is? Does it get shorter with more stuffing (making it fatter)? I thought about cutting the body in two pieces making it shorter and putting a “skirt” in the seam to hide it. Yours are so darling and in proportion, love them!!!

      Sorry to know that your monkey turn out to be a little off. I have measured my adult monkey (the white/grey/yellow), it is 5″ from should to buttock, 4″ from should to head. Hope this helped. You can massage the stuffed body to alter the shape a bit (like when you roll a flour dough) and see if it helps.

Your pattern drawing shows only 1 black line on one of the arms. Does that mean I only stitch 1 side on one arm, and the other side will only be folded? And 2 lines of stitches on the other arm? Will they look the same after I turned them right side out?

      The best material is cotton, but have to make sure that the socks is not too thin after being stretch. Best way to judge how your sock will look like after being stretch is to put your palm into the sock.

    I love making the sock monkeys! Got the idea from it being shared on Facebook! So clever but I actually leave a small side seam open on one of the legs as I couldn’t achieve a neat seam between the legs. Would you oppose me selling some of them for charity? It is for a school next to a huge refuse tip in Indonesia where the kids live on the tip.

    These are great! I have made these using the long knee high socks but to be honest, I really like the shorter version you have created here. Based on my previous experience it is wise to sew the seems several times over, even if they are hard to reach because the seams pop open and you’ll have some unhappy kids/customers. I sold mine at craft sale about 3 years ago and had kids coming up with monkeys that seams were splitting and I found myself hand repairing them at my table. One extra seam secured them.

    Hello! These monkeys are just adorable! And so I’ve decided to make one for my nephew who is to be born in about 2 weeks. All the time I had in my head to make the version with an adult sock and just now I’ve calculated inches into centimetres and it seems quite big to me (it will be only about 2 inches smaller than him). So I guess I’m writing for a suggestion – should I make a smaller one for a newborn? Thank you very much! Best regards, Nina

    When I was photographing my monkeys for a show… I found that if the tail is placed the right way on the body, you can “lean” it on the tail going toward the back… work with it.. and also the padding in the butt. They will sit.

      Hi Jacodi, I haven’t come through any sock lion yet and I don’t think the sock monkey pattern can be modified to become it. Perhaps modify the droopy ear sock bunny is more appropriate, draw a pair of tiny ears to replace the long ears of the bunny. Crochet a ring of lion fur with loop-stitch, sew it on the head to complete the lion. If you don’t crochet, search of something similar to replace.

      If you view the pattern picture on how to cut the pieces of the monkey, the mouth is from another sock, together with the ears, tail and arms. The mouth is not from the heal side, it is from the toes side.

      The monkey will look different between closed-knit and lose-knit tension of socks. Thicker socks will give firmer look since the spandex won’t expand easily.

    This is a very cute monkey, and I’d like to make some for my kids for Christmas. I didn’t understand the instructions at the step right after drawing the pattern on the socks. It says
    “2. Sew it with sewing machine, best if you have walking foot so both layers walk together. You can use hand sewn too.”
    Here are my questions:
    1. Is this just a loose stitch so everything stays lined up? Would you pick it out later?
    2. Where exactly on the socks do you sew it? Up the middle? On the side?
    3. I’m assuming you do this for each sock separately, right?

    I’ve done some sewing, but I think I’m not catching something that would be obvious to someone with more experience.

    Thanks!

      Hi Laura,
      Here is the answer for you questions.
      1. It is a straight stitch with normal tension and sew directly to the sock, no loose stitch and no picking out.
      2. Follow the line as shown on the picture above this.
      3. Please follow the pattern shown in the 3rd step by step picture.
      Perhaps you really missed out something, may be pictures or instruction. If you read carefully by referring to each step’s picture, it is an easy to follow sewing. Beginner can do it without problem. I have seen many did it in great success.
      Keep it up, you can do it!

    3. Cut as per pattern.
    4. Cut all pieces out.

      Hi Kelly, I pull the thread snugly when doing the slip stitches, release the pulling tension a little after that, the stitches will be hidden nicely and invisible.

Everyone who saw them wanted one, and I spent a fun afternoon helping my 8 year old son and my 9 yr old niece to make their own over the Christmas holidays. They were loved by all and so easy to make thanks to your amazing tutorial! I wish I could post pics of them for you – it was VERY hard to give them away, I was crushing on the monkeys!

    I have a pair of long adult knee high socks – when one is ironed flat side on, they measure almost 68cm from point of toe to top of cuff. How do i adjust the cutting to get one sock monkey out of each of the one socks so I can make two? Any advice would be appreciated. Sorry this sounds like a silly question. Am a novice sewer!

      Yes, baby crew socks. Knee high socks work too, if you leave the length, your monkey has long arms and legs. I would cut them off as it is hard to stuff.

      Hi May, you can definitely use hand to sew. Make small back-stitch stitches will be good for this expendable material.
      You can use poly fill or cotton fill, same material of the pillow stuffing.
      The socks in the link are too long, provided you want to make some long arms and legs sock monkey, otherwise, get those just a few inches above the foot ankle. If you really like the socks you have chosen, you can alter the cutting and fit 1 monkey pattern in 1 sock.

    He went through the washer and dryer quite a few times and survived it all to be my first son’s extra, special friend too.

    Now both of my grandsons have sock monkeys. I love that my son is following through with this great tradition.

    I loved this monkey pattern when I first saw it. I have made 2 so far and I am on my 3rd. I like to re use and recyclye where possible.I have used old odd but coordinating socks so my monkey has a stripey body and plain arms tail etc. I also chop up old holey or unco-ordinating socks for stuffing.
    However, primark shops in the uk sell 5 or 6 pairs of stripey socks for £4.00. If this helps any one.

    Thanks for the tutorial! I made one out of a knee length sock following your instructions (except I gave my monkey nostrils by making french knots)

    I love sock monkey’s. Your blog is great! I have been wanting to jump in and make one. Have all the stuff just was afraid to tackle it. Your instructions make it look a lot easier to make. Hopefully I will get some made for presents this year at Christmas. Thank you!

    Beautiful work – thank you for sharing. I did make a traditional sock monkey – so much fun. The socks you chose are so nice! Could you please provide info about the striped socks (especially the white/yellow/grey)? The manufacturer, and maybe the store name that you purchased from, regardless of the country? I am ‘challenged’ when trying to find the appropriate socks to use. Thank you for your help

      Hi Helen, it is from a local shoe brand, I think the name is Larrie. I am not sure if you can get it outside Malaysia. Good luck and happy sewing!!!

    And here I thought I would make lots of these for gifts! I cannot sew stretch fabric. Three times the sock got sucked into the machine.

    Any good websites with tutorials for beginners like me …. ha only been sewing for almost 40 years, just not stretch :{

    Love your website, love your sock monkeys!

      Did you cut the sock before sewing? Please cut it after sewing and not before.
      I am using just ordinary electrical sewing machine and doesn’t seems to have this problem even with knitted fabrics. I used to have problem 30 years ago when trying to sew a knitted fabric, the seams were stretched and create wavy joint, but 30 years now with a different sewing machine, I don’t have this problem anymore.
      Guess that it could be something to do with the tension, please adjust the tension and use a scrap sock to try before the actual sewing.

      Nicole–Lots of cute socks at Target, esp. in the children’s section (as opposed to the hosiery section). Many are knee socks, but that just means longer arms & legs. On sale last week, $2 a piece (in Virginia).

    These are absolutely the best-looking sock monkeys I have seen, and the tutorial is extremely clear and easy to follow! I am so inspired, I went to Target and bought a bunch of socks to make for my daughter’s birthday party as favors. Can’t wait to make them & take the pics. I never would have thought I could do this w/o the excellent instruction–thanks!

      It could be difficult with zero sewing skill, but who knows, may be you have the hidden talent in you. Give it a try, may be the first piece won’t look perfect, but practice makes perfect, you can make a pretty one too. Just don’t give up!!!

    Thank you for your pattern! I bought the “red soks” a while ago to make the monkey, but was a bit afraid even to start – your directions will help a lot! Our grandma had a “red sok” money on her couch always! It is a fond memory! Wanted to make one for our exchange christmas present to bring back memories of grandma and grandpa! Thanks again!
