As always, the directions for sock toys are generally simple and if you do not have a sewing machine, it is OK, as these sock creatures can be completely handmade (it just takes a little longer).

This photo is of the bears I made from the Peejay monkey kit. The kit contained all the felt and floss needed to make the brown bear. The brown bear was so cute that I just had to make some more in different color felt. The patterns for the little felt toys in the sock animal kits make very cute little accessories. When I made Peejay sock monkey and his teddy bear all three of my boys wanted their own felt teddy. They stand about 6 inches tall, the felt teddies that is, not my boys. Actually, another idea is to use green and red felt and make Christmas teddies, don't you think they would look really cute on a Christmas tree. I love homemade Christmas decorations for trees! Of course the teddy pattern could be used to make felt sock monkeys too - use brown or grey felt for the body, a white round mouth with a smaller red piece of felt in the center. Black stitching for eyes and mouth. Skip the tummy patch that the bear has but give your monkey white felt on the ends of his arms and legs.

Updated Note: The Peejay monkey kit is old school, I can only find the odd one on ebay now-a-days.
Tip: Whenever you buy a pair of original Rockford Red Heel Socks they include free sock monkey and sock elephant patterns on the packaging.
