A dear friend of mine recently had her first baby.
She loves sock monkeys; as she should; as should everyone.
I've made my fair share of sock monkeys, but I've never made one for a
newborn before.
I like making my monkeys with button eyes, but because I wanted the baby's monkey to be soft and cuddly and safe, I opted for felt eyes instead.
I simply cut out some felt circles and stitched them to the monkey.
I also added eyelashes, because I'm fancy like that.
Even without the button eyes I think this monkey (who I lovingly referred to as Lavern while she was being made) has plenty of character.
I hope my friend's sweet baby is loving her sweet sock monkey!

Happy crafting!

Adorable. My daughter is still just as in love with Rosie, the sock monkey you gave us. You are a sock monkey artist. I am sure this monkey will be equally as loved.
