Isabelle is my first “monkey” sock monkey! I made her from a pair of socks with little colorful monkey heads. I followed the monkey theme and put a monkey head on the front of her cream hoodie, which I added matching monkey ears! I also made her a cream flatcap. It kind of changes her personality a bit when she wears it. It’s like she’s a Gemini. :)

Weeeeee! It only took me what seams forever to complete the latest sock monkey. It’s summer, there are things going on, I just moved countries…in the end there’s always a friend giving me a drink. I guess it didn’t take me that long! It’s only been since early June that I started working on the socks with the tag labeled Monkey #2. Three weeks later Kit-Kat, the first ever Mars Sock Monkey made from knee-high socks, was born!
What made this one fun was making the really long striped sleeves. I also had a cool theme to work with…Kitty! I wasn’t sure I was going to leave the whiskers, but then I put on it’s kitty & crossbones hoodie and it all came together nicely! ;)
Things in the works: I’m making a sweater for a sock monkey a little girl made from a kit called Finnoola Peach. Ooh, I like the idea of sock monkey kits! Also sewing baby socks and designing a ladybug graphic for a hoodie. :)

I’m currently working on a sock monkey made from a pair of socks sent to me earlier this month. They completely rock! They come with hearts and skulls in a berry and sky blue argyle print!
This sock monkey called for spooky with it’s freakishly long limbs plus I loved the idea of incorporating some kitty features so I made several sweater designs with this in mind…
The pirate kitty sweater with pink and blue stripped sleeves was a good match! These animal sweaters or as I like to call them, cosplay hoodies, are really fun to make! I think a bunny, bear or doggy eared hoodie would be cute as well. :)

I think Yuki is one of the cutest sock monkeys I’ve made to date. She wears what I call the cosplay sweater because it’s like a costume; A monkey wearing a panda costume! The panda bear design is one of three kawaii animal sweater designs I created for Mars Sock Monkey sweaters and hoodies. Other designs include a brown bear and a bunny!
I’m really looking forward to making more costume sweaters in the future. :)
