I never made sock monkeys but I’m sure that some people who like crafts and sewing do sell them on markets and online. But it doesn’t seem to be very complicated to make them (if one knows how to sew): <a href="https://www.craftpassion.com/how-to-sew-sock-monkey/" target="_blank">https://www.craftpassion.com/how-to-sew-sock-monkey/</a>;

I think it’s actually a neat idea, when one likes arts and crafts to look up patterns and explanations in the target language. It’s a fun way to combine a hobby and language learning.

For those who are interested in the history behind sock monkeys:
