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 through our website and email us if you have any questions. Thanks for visiting!
