My daughter just made a sock monkey hat for a friend's 6 month old son. Now another friend has asked for a sock monkey scarf for her sister.

I think I have seen one out in cyber land but can't seem to find it now that I am looking for it.

Any help would be appreciated by both of us.

Thanks in advice.

This one is not free but would you could do is look at the freebies in say mittens or even toys and knit your scarf that way

Like the fingerless gloves for instance - just knit the long scarf piece between each of the gloves and stitch up the end if you want to:

Or use a cup cozy - just add your scarf in between.

There is a sock monkey blanket on the Red Heart site, but it is crochet: http://www.redheart.com/free-patterns/sock-monkey-blanket

You could just make the monkey and instead of stuffing the arms make them the scarf tails

Can you explain to an Aussie what a 'Sock Monkey' is. have seen it mentioned several times on KP but am still wondering what it is. Thanks.

A sock monkey is a stuffed toy that is made from men's work socks

I had already searched Pinterest, Ravelry, Google, my stash of patterns, etc before I posted on KP.

The monkeys were made from a pattern that was included in packages of men's work socks. The socks were brown and white tweeds with white (acutally off-white) ribbing at the top, white toes and red heels. As you can see from the post earlier, the red from the heel makes the monkey's mouth.

I made one of these years ago, then knit blue overalls and a red and white sweater for it, complete with a hole for his tail. It was fun. I actually came across the package of remaining socks and the pattern just recently when I was organizing my stash.
