Sweetheart Sheep Sock Toy

Sweetheart Sheep Sock Toy
This little sheep is so cuddly and soft! Your kids will love playing with her, and you'll have just as much fun making her. Although she is a bit more complicated than some of the others in this collection, due to her fluffiness and all, she's definitely worth the extra effort. You could do these in different colors and have an entire collection of sweetheart sheep. There's even a tutorial in here for making the yarn pom-poms.

Sock Cow

Sock Cow
With his tiny little "horns" this sock cow is probably one of my favorites. He's just so cuddly, and much easier to make than he looks. You'll need two socks, a bit of yarn, buttons for his eyes and sewing supplies, as well as your stuffing. His big eyes are just too adorable, and he's soft and cuddly, so he's perfect for smaller babies. Imagine giving this as a gift at your next baby shower!

Sock Sheep

Sock Sheep
This little sheep is a bit different than the first. She's fluffy and soft, and filled with poly stuffing. You can use those really soft socks, the ones that you can get at any Dollar Tree for a dollar, and make her extra cuddly. Use women's sized socks, although if you wanted to cut down the pattern a bit, this would be really cute made from kids' socks in a smaller size.

Monster Sock

Monster Sock
These little monsters are anything but scary, and they've got a handy little pocket in front for holding any number of treats. These would be great for giving money gifts or candy, or you could just let the kids put whatever they want in the pocket. The fact that they're easy to make is just icing on the cake.

Sock Frog

Sock Frog
This sock frog is great for a couple of reasons. First, he's just adorable and second, he's filled with rice. You can microwave him and he's the perfect companion for when you need a little heat, like for minor sprains and strains. Kids will adore having him with them when they're feeling blue, and he's really easy to make. In fact, you should have a couple of them around, just in case you have more than one kid who needs him.

Sock Rattle

Sock Rattle
Ok, so for babies, this rattle animal made from socks is perfect. If you've ever wanted something really unique for a baby shower, this is definitely it. It's filled with poly stuffing just like the other animals in the collection, plus it has a jingle bell to give it a great rattle sound. It's perfect for little ones. You can make a straight handled rattle or curve the handle to make it easier for babies to grasp.

Lop Eared Bunny Sock

Lop Eared Bunny Sock
If you're going to make a sock bunny, you might as well give him adorable lop ears, right? You can use different sizes of socks, like baby, women's, etc., and make different sizes of these bunnies to have an entire lop eared bunny family. They're not difficult to make and the hand sewn face is just too cute.
