| The old-fashioned, handcrafted sock monkey dolls made
with Original Rockford Red Heel® socks from Fox
River Mills have become a favorite piece of "Americana"
over the years. Intended and worn even today as
work socks, mothers in the early
1900's fashioned these Rockford socks into sock monkeys
for their children. Clever crafters have been
making Sock Monkeys and other animal sock dolls ever
since. In 1890, Nelson Knitting began manufacturing
these Red Heeled socks. Fox River Mills purchased Nelson
Knitting in 1992. Today, the instructions for making
these dolls are still included in each package of authentic
Red Heel Monkey socks. Crafters have been lovingly
making Sock Monkeys for generations. Please browse
