Meet Felix, the latest custom Mars Sock Monkey made for a soon-to-be-born baby boy! Felix wears a brown hoodie with blue & red striped sleeves with a cute little fox on the front. His hoodie also comes with fox ears to complement his woodland creature look, an awesome theme chosen by my client. Felix likes to roll in the grass, spring up from bushes and eat berries cereal. He is so cool!

I found a great sock monkey to match the newly designed mushroom sundress! Neve Mars Sock Monkey is made from a pair of white socks with thin purple, blue, silver and yellow stripes. Besides wearing a cute dress she also comes with a matching bow to adorn her head. She’s a doll! I lover her. :)
Neve is available for sale on Etsy.

Here’s something I’d never made for a sock monkey before. It’s a knit romper with a pocket on the front, buttons on the strap and 2 smaller pockets on the back! This cool idea came from my Mom. She thought shorts would be perfect for summer and she’s right. Wearing a hoodie in the summer would be way too hot.
The best part about making this new piece of clothing was that it was very similar to knitting a sock. Using the “turning the heel” technique on the back made a nice little pouch for the monkey’s bottom. ;)

I just listed a new sock monkey for sale on Etsy! Apple Mars Sock Monkey comes with hand-knit green & pink heart hoodie and she’s made from a pair of kid size pink & brown knee-high socks. Unlike most other knitted hoodie Mars Sock Monkeys, Apple is not a custom sock monkey so anyone can purchase her. :)
Next time I’ll tell you more about custom Mars Sock Monkeys and how you can get one of your own!

My latest monkey Artie is a good example of a custom sock monkey with an initial hoodie. His hoodie includes two letters: an “A” on the front and an “S” on back. Each letter is also enclosed inside a heart, which was my client’s idea! Another interesting thing about Artie is that he was picked up by the buyer after I finished him. It was nice delivering Artie in person. :)
Later this week I’m listing a new sock monkey wearing a knit hoodie for sale in the shop. I’ll let you know when she’s ready!

Meet my newest sock monkeys, Peggy and Cookie! They’re the first Mars Sock Monkeys made from my home in Brooklyn. These hip gals are wearing the signature Pink ♥ Hoodie well known to the classic Mars Sock Monkey. Lately I had been using so many different designs for the front of the sweatshirts that I thought it’d be nice to go back to basics. I’m going to continue to make more heart hoodies, including some with stars for the boys.
Peggy and Cookie Mars Sock Monkeys are available for purchase at Maribel Made on Etsy. Happy shopping! Next time I’ll tell you how to make the reversible totebag I made last week at Etsy Labs. :)

My latest custom sock monkeys, Weedy and Laurie, may look familiar. That’s because they’re modeled after Gracie and Lauren. See the resemblance? They make nice twins! Weedy comes with a yellow and blue knit hoodie with ladybug while Laurie wears a classic yellow and pink heart sweatshirt hoodie.
Weedy and Laurie will also be living in their hometown city of Seattle, where I created the very 1st Mars Sock Monkey back in 2007. Today, being that it’s also my last day of living in the rainy city, marks Weedy and Laurie as the 84th and 85th Mars Sock Monkeys made in the history of Maribel Made! I’m really excited to see what new sock monkey adventures await for us in Brooklyn.
If you’re interested in a custom Mars Sock Monkey you can email me at maribelmade at gmail dot com for more info. Stay tuned for more cute sock monkey madness. :)

Jenny is part of the Spring Mars Sock Monkey batch I made last month. She comes with a light purple sweatshirt hoodie with blue and pink sleeves and a “flower power” design. Jenny is also made from a pair of rainbow knee high socks, which give her those long arms, legs and tail. Good for those bear hugs! She measures about 24″ tall.

These are the fun cotton sundresses I made for Nadia, Celeste and Courtney. I think the next batch will come with zippers!
The long awaited romper is back and Scottie rocks it out! This new romper is removable since you can undo the straps from the buttons. :)
