My first attempts on sock toys
Dec
During this year I also gave a try to new things. Now that the year is ending it seems to be a good moment to share some photos with you.
I´ve always been a fond of toys made from socks. You may consider my Stripy Sock-puppy as a proof of that. However, as I`m not very good at sewing I didn`t know if I would be able to make them myself. So I made a few attempts and found out that actually it`s not as difficult as I thought. But as with everything else, skills come with experience.
This is my very first sock bunny made for my daughter. The sweater is made from her old worn-out tights. Plus I only needed one sock.
I made one additional bunny using a striped sock and experimented with plastic bead eyes. This bunny was a gift for little Miia, my friends daughter.
Then I tried some cats. This one turned out a little bit arrogant, but I like his lordly look.
This cat looks a little dumb to me :) Both of the cats went for the children`s hospital Christmas charity project.
I made a few more sock animals but didn`t photograph all of them. I must say I had a lot of fun when making them! And I´ve bought some more socks for the future :)
Oh MY GOSH❣️ I haven’t seen a sock toy since a little girl but THESE AMAZE ME❣️ Simply “GORGEOUS” and I would love to make one if possible if you could make a pattern available PLEASE 🙏? THANK YOU❣️
Hi, Ruby! Definitely try making some sock toys, it’s a lot of fun. I didn`t use any pattern myself. Just looked at some tutorials and videos, and invented the rest myself.
These are wonderful! Particularly like the cat at the bottom. Right – off to find some off socks…

Omg, super cute, what a great job!!!
