Sock Monkeys

I have recently started making sock monkeys.

Here are some of the ones I have made.
What do you think?

The very first one I made...

I found a slightly different pattern when I made the striped one...

I need to get busy making some more. I sold the pink one and the striped one in an online charity auction.
I have bought the socks to make more, it is just a matter of finding the time.

Imagine that I have three children and a shortage of time.

I've seen those before but never knew they were called sock monkeys, they look great.
How do you make them?
