| Summary |
"How to Make Sock Toys" by Edna Clapper is a practical guidebook published in the late 1950s. This book centers around crafting sock toys, featuring over 50 different designs suitable for various purposes, including bazaars, gifts, and personal enjoyment. Through straightforward instructions and illustrations, it invites readers to explore their creativity while making unique sock toys. The opening of the book introduces the origins of its beloved character, the Red Heel Sock Monkey, and how it became popular among readers. The author explains how the idea for this book emerged from the overwhelming interest shown by readers in making sock toys after the monkey's initial feature in Pack-O-Fun magazine. Clapper emphasizes the accessibility of materials—primarily Nelson Red Heel socks—and encourages readers to personalize their creations using simple tools and techniques. The opening sets a warm, inviting tone, suggesting that the process of creating these toys is not only achievable but also fun and rewarding. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
