The sock monkey is a powerful symbol of ingenuity, embodying the “work with what you’ve got” ethic. Inventive mothers had already been making sock dolls for their kids when the Nelson Knitting Company of Rockford Illinois added the red heel to its machine-made, seamless work sock in 1932; thereby inadvertently spawning the classic red-lipped, red-bootied sock monkey. Our delightfully huggable monkeys are hand made, one at a time, here in the U.S.A. We use only the finest quality American-made socks in gorgeous patterns and bright colors. Safe for baby and machine washable.
