Crazy Cute Sock Toy Sewing Patterns

Last week, I shared some fabulous patterns for sewing your own socks. If your sock drawer is overflowing, turn some of those socks into sock toys. There are a lot more options out there than just sock monkeys these days. Here are some of my favourite patterns for sewing a toy from a sock.

The first place to go for sock toy inspiration is Craft Passion. Joanne has a great collection of sock toy sewing tutorials. My favourites are the sock sheep, Baymax from Big Hero 6, and Lop-Eared Bunny. Check them out:

Homemade by Jill has a cute baby rattle tutorial made from socks, with two different options. So sweet!
