Product Info

Why not make a cute, soft and fluffy stuffed monkey called a "Sock Monkey" using SOUKI's proud low-gauge socks?

"Sock Monkeys" first appeared in 1929 when an American grandmother made them out of old socks to please her grandchildren during a time of material shortage. Today, they have spread across the ocean and continue to be loved all over the world.

"SOUKI MONKEY" is a version of the "Sock Monkey" with a unique twist from the sock factory SOUKI.

The materials used are socks knitted from leftover yarn and the scraps of loops that are generated when sewing the toes. These are "zero waste" stuffed animals made from materials that previously had to be disposed of at sock factories.

It can be easily sewn together using only a needle and thread without using a sewing machine, so even beginners can do it easily!

As you sew on the ears, arms, and legs, you will begin to feel attached to the doll.
Why not try making your own monkey stuffed animal?

Exclusively at the workshop, you can also make knitted hats using quality socks.
