Kecke Kleine Sockentiere

Hmmm…the literal translation of this German title is “Cheeky Little Sock Animals, Quickly Sewn,” which I think is a much jazzier title than the English title for the award-winning Socks Appeal. This is your guide to making whimsical stuffed animals from socks, following the easy-to-follow instructions in this book. The 16 projects are categorized by skill level, from super simple to more advanced. You can make bunnies, owls, penguins, octopuses, squirrels, and more. In an hour, your socks can rock!

Socks Appeal was named “Book of the Year” in the 2010 Foreword Book of the Year Awards in the Crafts/Hobbies division; this book has also been translated into German.
