Today is a fun project, making a doll from a sock. This is great because socks are inexpensive and you can choose from many different patterns and colors.
This can also be a great recycle project for those socks that have lost their mate. If you’re like me, you hate to throw them away because you just know the other one will turn up again some day!
STOCKING DOLL –
Mark off legs, body, neck and head from top of heavy stocking. Cut off toe of stocking. Make slit for legs. Sew up legs and stuff. This would be a great opportunity to use up leftover stuffing from other projects or pillows. Stuff doll’s body and sew neck line. Stuff head and sew at top. Paint or embroider doll’s features. Add wool hair.
Take the cut off toe of the sock and split down the center to make 2 arms. Sew together and stuff. Sew arms on body in place.
Have fun giving your doll personality!
Enjoy!
Good morning. Many years ago I made a Clown Sock Doll that sat on a Swing, you’d hang from the Ceiling. I’ve since lost the pattern for it. I think it was all made from one sock and yours is the closest to it as far as I can remember. I’ve been looking all over for the pattern. My son asked me for a Clown because back in the 80’s I made one for his Grandmother. I’m going to use your pattern because I think it will work. Thank you so much! Sorry for being so long winded lol
That’s great. So glad you found it. Have you tried a search on Etsy or Ebay for a “vintage clown sock doll pattern”? Something may turn up. Many of them are digital copies of the older patterns, some are original though. Thanks for your comment.
Love this!!!! Thank you!!!!
You’re welcome.
Thank you! Going to try, love the sight!
Great job 👍🏻
Thanks so much!
