Here is a sweet miniature Sock Monkey to match your Working Man/Sock Monkey Socks. A great way to use up the leftovers from your pair of socks!

This wee monkey is just 3.5” (9cm) high when seated, and is sure to delight any sock monkey fan. Add a hanger to the top, and it becomes a great gift tag, keyring, or Christmas decoration.

We recommend Knit Picks Stroll yarn for best results with this project, because of its super-soft and stretchy qualities. This pattern could also be adapted to a Micro Mini Sock Monkey by using thread and very tiny needles.

Skill Level:
Intermediate. You will need to be comfortable using Magic Loop knitting, due to this project’s small diameter. You will also need to know how to make I-cord. There are many great tutorials out there for both methods.

o about 30 yards Main Colour (pattern will call this DK.GREY)
