Hand Crocheted Sock Monkey Hat

Become part of the sock monkey tradition with this cute little hat!

Did you know sock monkeys have been around since the 1800s? They've been around pretty much as long as there have been socks.

This hat is lovingly hand crocheted from my home in Auckland and is made from 100% soft acrylic.

The white mouth and red smile is what makes sock monkeys so unique.

This hat comes in 4 sizes. They are:-

0-3 months
3-6 months
6-12 months
Toddler / Preschooler


In the fifties, as plastic toys became popular, poor old sock monkeys fell by the wayside. But they never really disappeared. There are children's stories, comic books and coffee table books written about sock monkeys.

The red cords measure about 17cm (7 inches) in length so long enough to either secure the hat under the neck or to just leave hanging for the littlies to fiddle with.

I can also replace the button eyes with yarn eyes if you require.

Thanks to loving childhood memories and nostalgia, Sock Monkeys are having a bit of a revival and are again delighting all ages!

This hat comes from a non-smoking, pet free home.

The tradition of the sock monkey was that they were a unique toy, handmade with love for someone special. And the tradition continues....

This hat is made in traditional sock monkey colours but I can make this hat in any colours you like.

Gift wrapping available for additional $5. This includes wrapping, a bow and a personalised message on a card.
