Two Classic Sock Monkeys for the Road- To OZ! :)

These two cuties are headed to the land down under. I love it when good ole' folk art gets exported. Who says America has no culture! Sorry, I guess I might be a bit touchy about that. I was recently in South America hanging out with a nice German guy who did not hold back his opinions of Americas lack of taste and culture. Back to Sock Monkeys- I've been asked how I make the slightly folded ears for the classic sock monkey. I draw the shape. (for classic is about 80% of a full circle) Sew it. (for pre-sewn sock monkey kits this shape is already sewn in) Turn it right side out. Bring the two 'corners' together and make a small sorta cone shape and sew that to the sock monkeys head. Happy Monkey Making! ~Tamara
