In the early 1950s, they learned that their socks were being used to make stuffed animal monkey toys that featured the red heel as its mouth. The sock monkey became popular and sparked a patent dispute. The Nelson Knitting Company won the patent and began to include a sock monkey pattern and instructions in each package of Red Heel socks. The patent expired in 1970, making the sock monkey belong to everyone. Bundle with other items in my closet for automatic discounts and to save on combined shipping. Offers are always welcome!
