During -the summer and early fall of 1955 several of our friends and readers of -Pack-O-Fun magazine wrote to us about him. We learned that instructions -on how to make him could be had from the Nelson Knitting Company of -Rockford, Illinois. We received permission to reprint the instructions -and thus our new friend, the Red Heel Sock Monkey, made his appearance -in the November 1955 issue of Pack-O-Fun. - -We expected a mild response and were quite unprepared for the deluge of -mail that poured into our office and the Nelson Knitting Company. We had -no idea that so many people were interested in making a toy monkey out -of a few socks. The requests kept coming in long after our supply of -this issue was exhausted and we had to reprint the instructions as a -separate folder to keep from disappointing readers all over the country. - -We began to think in terms of other sock toys but there were so many -other things to do that the idea was shelved for just a “little while.” -Like so many other “little whiles” this one stretched into weeks and -then months. Our little friend, the Red Heel Sock Monkey, sat in lonely -splendor. - -Several months ago Michelle Graff joined our staff as an artist. Much to -our delight we learned that she was quite adept at creating and making -all kinds of stuffed toys. Within a short time the Red Heel Sock Monkey -was no longer lonely. He had several friends to play with after we had -turned off the lights and left the office. - -One of his most constant playmates was a roguish Sock Elephant. We -decided to use this packed pachyderm in some of our ads in other -magazines and once again the response was greater than we had dared -expect. That settled it. We decided to change a “little while” into -“now” and publish this book. - -We have used the Nelson Red Heel socks for most of the animals, dolls, -puppets and novelties in this book for many reasons. One very good -reason is that the red heel lends itself to the creation of lovable -toys. The brown body gives the feeling of warmth that a stuffed toy must -have and the white ribbing and toes provide material for faces, feet, -hands, etc. - -Another good reason is that the Nelson Red Heel socks are quite -inexpensive, selling for about 30c a pair and even less in lots of one -dozen or more. These prices vary somewhat throughout the country. That -brings us to our third good reason. They are nationally sold and can be -found in many variety, dry goods and chain stores. They can also be -ordered through many mail order houses. - -All you need are some socks, scrap materials for stuffing and clothing -plus a steady eye to thread a needle. The instructions have been written -as simply and made as complete as possible. Pick out your toys, thread -your needle and start. And, to make it even more fun, vary the features, -the trimmings and clothes to bring out your own creative abilities and -personal touches. - - {Edna N. Clapper} - Edna N.

To shape neck -and head, sew a seam tapering from about the middle of the foot to about -the middle of the toe. (See Figure 1, above.) Then, turn sock right side -out, stuff and sew as shown in Steps 4 and 5 on page 7. This will form -the neck. Do not tie, as head is made from separate piece. - - -SOCK NO. 2 - -FORELEGS: See instructions for Elephant on page 7. Make somewhat -thinner. - -HEAD: Cut toe from sock (Figure 2).

For pony, cut shorter ear pieces and -omit wire. - -FEATURES: For nostrils, embroider two tear-shaped patches in brown yarn. -For eyes, use two leaf-shaped pieces of black felt sewn to each side of -the head. Over each piece, sew a flat button slightly smaller than the -felt. To shape the mouth, make a long stitch with brown yarn across the -lower front of the face and pinch sock around the mouth stitching to -form lips (Figure 7). - -MANES: A variety of materials can be used for manes. Remember that the -donkey’s mane is much thinner and stringier than a pony’s mane. For the -donkey, strands of black yarn can be used or a piece of black felt can -be cut in a saw-tooth shape with long teeth. - -TRIM: Bridles can be made from colorful leatherette. Sew pretty buttons -over pieces that are stitched together to hide the joints (Figure 8). A -short piece of chain will serve as a bit. For the donkey, make a -colorful “blanket” with tasseled edges. Little packs, made from the toes -of old colored socks can be sewn to the blanket to heighten the effect. -For the pony, make a shorter “saddle blanket” and add a saddle made from -an oval piece of leatherette. - - - - - KITTEN - - - [Illustration: Fig. 1 · Fig. 2 · Fig. 3] - -Use white athletic socks.

A scrap of red -felt sewn to the lower stitch looks like a tongue (Figure 4). For -whiskers, insert broom straws or brush bristles through face near mouth. - -TRIM: Use a big colorful bow with a little bell under the chin. For an -extra playful look, sew a ball of yarn to front paws. - - - - - PUPPY - - - [Illustration: Fig. 1 · Fig. 2 · Fig. 3 · Fig. 4] - -For body (Sock No. 1) follow the basic instructions on page 7. - -FORELEGS: See instructions for elephant on page 7. - -NOSE: Cut toe from sock.

For pouchy cheeks, use nylon thread or very strong white -thread, and baste a circle on each side of the nose and ending just -under the nose (Figure 1). Pluck stuffing into puffs in the middle of -these circles for cheeks. Tighten stitching to hold cheeks in place. -Embroider mouth with red yarn and add small brown buttons for eyes. Use -broom straws or brush bristles for whiskers, pushing them through sides -of face. - -EARS: Cut two pointed ears from sock and two from felt (Figure 2). Sew -sock and felt pieces together, leaving an opening for turning. Turn and -sew to top sides of head. Pleat felt. - -TAIL: Sew a thin strip of sock about 6″ long.

Make squirrel’s tail somewhat bushier than the -chipmunk’s. - -STRIPES: Sew strips of black fur or felt down back of chipmunk only, -spacing them about ½″ apart. - - - - - BEGGING DOG - - - [Illustration: Fig. 1 · Fig. 2 · Fig. 3 · Fig. 4 · Fig. 5 · Fig. 6] - -For body (Sock No. 1) follow basic instructions on pages 7 and 13 with -the exception of step 7. To pull face upwards stitch across back instead -of front (Figure 1, above). - -FRONT LEGS: See Bunny’s front legs on page 11. To achieve the down paws -effect insert wires into legs and bend into L-shape (Figure 2). (See -page 33 for tips on wiring.) - -FACE: Cut toe from sock, stuff and sew to head (Figure 3). Add a red pom -pom for a comical nose. For a doleful mouth, embroider a modified upside -down V-shape and sew a lolling, long red felt tongue underneath it -(Figure 4). - -EARS: Cut two pieces from sock and two from pink felt (Figure 5). Sew -together, leaving opening for turning. Turn and sew to side of head with -ears hanging down. - -EYES: Cut circles of brown felt and sew to face. Sew white buttons on -circles.

Stretch legs by pulling before stitching -into sitting position. - -FOREARMS: Follow directions for front legs on page 13, making them -somewhat thinner and shorter. - -FEATURES: Cut toe from sock, turn inside out and sew to a point (Figure -1). Turn, stuff lightly and sew to head. Mold the front of nose into a -long, blunt shape, pushing in the point at the end. Embroider eye-lines -with brown curved lashes (Figure 2).

Turn right side -out, stitch along sides of head and pleat front. - -TAIL: Cut from sock and seam, leaving wide end open for stuffing (Figure -5). Turn right side out, stuff and sew to body. - -POUCH: Cut a large triangle of knit to fit across the tummy with one -point sewn between the legs (Figure 6). Allow the pouch to sag a little -to leave room for baby kangaroo. - - - - - BABY KANGAROO - - - [Illustration: Fig. 1 · Fig. 2 · Fig. 3] - -Make the baby kangaroo from a small child’s sock in a beige or other -light color. Insert a cone shaped piece of cardboard in the toe of the -sock instead of the cardboard roll used in other finger puppets. Also -for the baby kangaroo, there is no need to take a tuck in the heel, but -rather let the heel become the top of the head (Figure 1). - -FEATURES: Turn the sock inside out and sew the toe to a point. Turn -right side, add padding in the very tip of the toe; then insert the cone -in the toe and pad around it up to the heel. Embroider a nose and -eyelines in brown, mouth in red or pink. Add tiny brown button eyes with -a dot of white for highlight. Add pink felt ears similar to Mama -Kangaroo’s (Figure 2). - -ARMS: Cut a slit on each side of the sock just below the neck. Be sure -slits are large enough to fit the fingers for manipulating the puppet. -Make glove-like fingers from the second sock or the fingers from an old -glove and sew them to the slits. Be sure not to sew slits closed. The -best way to avoid this is to turn the puppet inside out, fit the -“fingers” inside the slit and whip-switch the edges together (Figure 3). - -TRIM: Add a big baby blue bow under the chin—not too tight. When not -acting uppity like a puppet, baby kangaroo rests comfortably in Mama -Kangaroo’s pouch (Figure 4). - - [Illustration: uncaptioned] - - - - - SCRAPPY - - - ... Our Fun-Loving, Mischievous Little Mascot! - -For those who want a very special doll, we have designed one with all -the features of a bouncing, dimpled doll right out of a toy show window. -It’s well worth the extra time and care to make Scrappy. - -BASIC DOLL: Use white athletic socks and follow the basic instructions -on page 19. For a more natural look, quick-dip the socks in a weak, -lukewarm solution of pink dye and let dry before making the doll. - -DIMPLES OR INDENTATIONS: These are quite simple to make. The trick lies -in pulling a few threads back for the indentation. Use a needle long -enough to go through the doll and thread it with yarn. Push the needle -through from the back to the point of the indentation, catch a few of -the sock threads, push the needle back through, pull both ends of the -yarn and tie them (Figure 1). To make eye sockets, cheeks and lip lines -see Tips and Tricks, page 33. - -SHAPING BODY: Knot one end of white yarn and make three long stitches at -the lower back—two that divide the legs from the body and one that -divides the hips equally (Figure 2). Pull yarn tightly to make -indentations. Make three dimples in the small of the back and one in the -tummy. - -ARMS AND LEGS: Make a dimple in each elbow and knee. Pull arms around -into a natural curve, taking a small tuck along the inside of the arm if -necessary (Figure 3). - -FEATURES: Mold the nose by pulling the stuffing into shape and embroider -or paint tiny nostrils. For the eyes, use round buttons with shanks or -salvage a pair of eyes from an old toy. Add a spot of white paint to -each button eye. Embroider eyelashes and eyebrows. Cut a mouth from red -felt and whip stitch to face. Then sew a white line across the middle to -divide the lips. The ears are semicircles cut from a piece of sock. Roll -the edges, hem and sew to the head even with the eyes (Figure 4). - -HAIR: Make colorful pom poms, using any of the hair styles on page 32. -For a short hairdo, outline the hair line on the head before you arrange -the pom poms. - -CLOTHING: Scrappy can be dressed as a boy or a girl in a wide variety of -costumes. Here’s how we dressed “him” as a little boy. - -SWEATER: Use a colorful ribbed sock. Cut it off at the heel and use the -cuff portion. For armholes, make a slit on each side of the sock about -1½″ down from the top. Slip sweater on and turn down the top for a -turtle neck (Figure 5). - -PANTS: Cut from black felt, pattern design B-2, page 29. Seam sides, -turn and fit doll, tucking at the waist as necessary.

The clothing pattern -designs will fit toys made from these sizes. - -STUFFING: We used kapok for ease in packing and shaping. Nylon fluff, -dacron filling, shredded foam rubber or lint from an automatic dryer -will work as well. Old nylon hose and other cloth scraps tend to become -lumpy. Use a pencil or dowel for packing stuffing in narrow places. -Clean stuffed toys by dry sudsing. - -WIRING: Stove pipe wire or similar types work fine. Coat hanger wire is -too thick and hard to bend. Always bend wire ends up and in to prevent -them from working through. Wraps wires with adhesive tape or string. -Dabs of cement on the wire will hold string in place (Figure 1). Insert -wires straight and bend the completed tail, ears and so forth. - - [Illustration: Figure 1] - - BEND ENDS - WRAP ENDS - ANIMAL LEGS - HUMAN LEGS - -SHAPING: Toys can be molded by pushing or pulling the stuffing with the -fingers. An occasional stitch will help hold the shape. To mold chubby -cheeks, make circles of small stitches, pluck the stuffing up in the -circles, pull the ends of the thread together and tie off (Figure 2). - - [Illustration: Figure 2] - - MAKING DIMPLES - GATHER CHEEKS - PULL STITCHES TO SHAPE CHEEKS - -Indentations and dimples are made by pulling a few sock threads back -into the toy. This is done by pushing a threaded needle through from the -back, catching a few sock threads and pushing the needle back again. -Pulling on the needle thread pulls the sock threads in. Repeat for the -desired indentations and tie off. Figure 3 shows how this is done for -eye sockets. For toys with side eyes (bunnies, donkeys, etc.) work from -eye to eye. For more natural lip lines, catch several sock threads in -shallow arcs over and under the lips and in a straight line between the -lips (Figure 4). See Scrappy on page 17 for ideas on where to put -dimples. Use a darning needle to push through the head or body. Lightly -pencilled guide lines are helpful. - - [Illustration: Figure 3] - - SETTING IN DOLL’S EYES (BACK TO FRONT) - SETTING IN BUNNY’S EYES (SIDE TO SIDE) - - [Illustration: Figure 4] - - MAKE STITCHES AROUND MOUTH AND ACROSS LIPS - WORKING FROM BACK TO FRONT - -FEATURES: To give the face a flesh colored look, dip the toe of the sock -in a weak solution of pink dye before the sock is cut and stuffed. Be -sure the solution is lukewarm. For a more professional look, sew flesh -colored stockinet over the face after the features have been molded and -stitched into shape (Figure 5). - - [Illustration: Figure 5] - - MOLD FEATURES BY PINCHING AND STITCHING - THEN SEW STOCKINET TIGHTLY OVER FACE WITHOUT FLATTENING - -EYES: If you plan to make several toys, especially animals, invest in -manufactured eyes. Or, use eyes from discarded toys. Shoe buttons also -make very good eyes since they have shanks. Add a highlight speck of -white paint to each button eye to avoid that blank look. Never use eyes -that are too small unless you want an older or mean look. - -HAIR: Inexpensive wigs, or ones from discarded dolls, can be substituted -for pom poms and scrap fur. Pencil guide lines on the head before sewing -on pom poms. - -FACIAL EXPRESSIONS: Much can be done to accentuate features and to give -toys individuality by embroidering or using felt eyebrows, eyelashes, -wrinkles, crinkles and so forth. Felt pieces should be glued on or sewn -with tiny stitches in matching thread. We used the satin stitch for -embroidered features (Figure 6). - - [Illustration: Figure 6] - - BLACK CENTER - WHITE HIGHLIGHT - BLUE - SATIN STITCH MOUTH - SATIN STITCH EYE - -CLOTHING: Use freshly laundered and pressed materials—it’s well worth -the extra effort. Avoid patterned materials that are out of proportion -to the toys. Crayons (pressed well into the fabric) or textile paints -can be used to make small pattern designs. Tempera paints tend to wash -out. Choose materials that do not easily unravel. - - [Illustration: uncaptioned] - - - - - FINGER PUPPETS - - - [Illustration: Fig. 1 · Fig. 2 · Fig. 3 · Fig. 4] - -MAKING AND STUFFING HEAD: Insert a short piece of paper towel roll in -the toe of the sock, then push stuffing up around it until the head is -plump and round (Figure 1). Tie a ribbon around the neck and stitch in -place to keep it from slipping (Figure 2). Features can be added and the -face pushed into various shapes. The finger puppets on pages 35-38 are -just a few of the endless variations that can be made. - -ARMS: Make a slit on each side of the sock below the neck—just large -enough for your thumb and little finger. If desired, little glove-like -fingers can be sewn over the openings, otherwise just whip stitch the -edge (Figure 3). Add appropriate clothes. - -TO OPERATE: Push your index finger and second finger into the cardboard -roll; and thumb and little finger into the slits on the side (Figure 4). -Head can be bobbed up and down or sideways by moving the fingers inside -the cardboard roll while the thumb and little finger can move together -and apart to grasp articles, wave, and so on. - - - - - WITCH - - - [Illustration: Fig. 1 · Fig. 2 · Fig. 3 · Fig. 4] - -Follow basic instructions above for finger puppets. - -NOSE: Use the red heel of another sock or a piece of felt. Cut in a -triangular shape, sew the long sides together, turn and stuff lightly. -Bend for a hooked nose and sew to face (Figure 1). - -MOUTH: Sew on an upside down crescent-shaped piece of felt. - -EYES: Sew on two black buttons, close together over nose. Embroider -forbidding black eyebrows. - -HAIR: Add scraggly black hair by sewing on loops of black yarn in -various lengths and cutting the ends open (Figure 2). - -CLOAK: Use a piece of dark material about 12″ × 15″. Fold in half -lengthwise. Sew across one end starting at the corner of the folded edge -and tapering down to a point 2″ from the top of the open edge (Figure -3). The highest point becomes the peak of the hood. Turn right side out. -Gather the material about 4″ down from the front of the hood to fit -around the neck of the puppet. Stitch ribbon over gathers and tie ends -at front. Turn front edges of hood back about 1″ and hem rough edges -(Figure 4). - - - - - KATIE ’N’ JAMIE - - - [Illustration: Fig. 1 · Fig. 2 · Fig. 3 · Fig. 4] - - [Illustration: Fig. 5 · Fig. 6 · Fig. 7 · Fig. 8] - -Follow basic instructions for finger puppets on page 35. - -LEGS: Cut the white ribbings from two socks to make the legs. Cut each -ribbing lengthwise and sew down the long sides and across one end. Turn -and stuff lightly. Sew the legs to the front of the puppet sock opposite -the heel so that the puppet appears to “sit” when propped over the edge -of a stage. Tie ribbon around the ankles (Figure 1). For more realistic -legs with feet, follow methods used for dolls on pages 17 and 19. - -HAIR: See page 32 for hair styles. Make both from the same color yarn. - -FEATURES: Embroider eyelashes and eyebrows in black yarn. Mouths are red -felt. Sew an upturned nose with beige yarn (Figure 2). - -BLOUSE: Cut Katie’s blouse from two pieces of white material (Figure 3). -Sew together at shoulders, leaving a space for neck and then down sides -leaving arm holes. Pull up over bottom of puppet. Add a wide lace collar -to hide shoulder seams and short lace edging around arm holes. - -SKIRT: Cut a 10″ circle of felt and remove a 3″ circle from the center. -Slit up the back and overlap to fit around the puppet. Fasten with a -snap. Add shoulder straps of the same material to keep the skirt from -slipping. Trim the skirt and straps with embroidery or sequins (Figure -4). - -SHIRT: Cut Jamie’s shirt from the same white material and stitch to the -body in the same way. Cut a collar-shaped piece of material and stitch -around the neck. Whip stitch arm holes. Add buttons down front of shirt -(Figure 5). - -PANTS: Cut the pants as shown from the same felt material as the -skirt—pointed piece for the front (Figure 6). Sew the point down onto -the sock between the legs. Back piece will actually look like a skirt -and is merely there to make short pants appear complete. Make suspenders -from the same material and attach to the pants with tiny buttons. - -HATS: For Katie, make a bonnet as shown and tie to the head with ribbon -bow under chin (Figure 7). Jamie wears a beanie made from the toe of a -sock. Roll back the brim and add a pom pom to the top (Figure 8). - -SHOES: If you use more elaborate legs with feet, follow the shoe pattern -designs on page 30 making about ½ size. Remember to sew the shoes to the -feet rather than try to fit shoes over feet. - - - - - PIRATE - - - [Illustration: Fig. 1 · Fig. 2 · Fig. 3 · Fig. 4] - - MAKE PATCH - -Follow basic instructions for finger puppets on page 35. - -NOSE AND EYES: Pinch a small portion of the sock together in the middle -of the face and tie off—dab with red paint. Sew on one button eye and -make a black patch for the other. Make evil looking black eyebrows from -yarn (Figure 1). - -MOUTH: From red felt, cut a wide, sly, grinning mouth. Remove a small -portion from the center to give an open grin. Add a gruesome tooth or -two and a villainous black mustache (Figure 2). - -BEARD: Add yarn or fringed felt around the chin and sides of the face. -At the top of the beard, add a few longer strands of wild looking hair -(Figure 3). - -DRESS: Make a bandana from bright spotted material and tie it around the -top of the head, knotting the ends at one side. Hang brass curtain rings -on for earrings. For the shirt, take a black colored sock and cut it off -at the heel. For arm holes, make a slit on each about 1″ down from the -top of the cuff. Slip over the puppet and turn down top for a turtle -neck effect. Add a belt from leatherette and paint the skull and cross -bones in the center (Figure 4). - - - - - INDIAN - - - [Illustration: Fig. 1 · Fig. 2 · Fig. 3 · Fig. 4] - -Follow basic instructions for finger puppets on page 35. - -FEATURES: Use two round brown buttons for eyes—paint on a spot of white -for highlight. Embroider brows in black and mouth in red. Add small -button nose (Figure 1). - -HAIR: Wind black yarn around a card 3″ wide, about 20 times. Gather -along one edge with black yarn; snip other edge open and remove -carefully (Figure 2). Sew to the top of the head with the seam down the -center like a part and hair hanging down each side of the head. Fit a -band of tape (embroidered or plain with beadwork) around the head and -add a feather at the back (Figure 3). - -DRESS: Cut a shirt from a piece of material 8″ × 6″, seam and fit to -puppet with opening at the back. Gather along the waist and sew to a -strip of felt for the belt (Figure 4). - -OPTIONAL: Add novel beads around neck and wrists (if you have added the -glove-like fingers mentioned in the basic instructions). You might try a -Mohawk hairdo, braids, fancy headdress, medicine man’s mask or other -variations. - - - - - LION - - - [Illustration: Fig. 1 · Fig. 2 · Fig. 3 · Fig. 4] - - SEW EARS WIDE APART - -Follow basic instructions for finger puppets on page 35. - -FEATURES: Cut toe from the second sock, turn inside out and sew to a -nose shape (Figure 1). Stuff lightly and stitch to the front of the -head. Embroider end of the nose in black yarn and add an upside down -Y-shaped mouth in red yarn. Sew on black button eyes over brown felt -circles (Figure 2). - -EARS: Cut two petal shaped pieces from brown felt or scrap fur and two -pieces from pink felt. Sew the pink and brown pieces together, leaving -an opening for turning. Turn and stitch to head. Pleat felt. - -MANE: Sew bushy yarn pom poms (see page 32) or strips of scrap fur over -the top of the head and down around the neck (Figure 3). - -PAWS: Make two small paws from the second sock or the fingers of an old -glove and sew over the slits at the sides of the puppet. Add small yarn -pom poms or fur scraps near the ends (Figure 4). - -FINISHING TOUCHES: If he is to be THE LION in “The Wizard of Oz” hang a -little heart locket around the neck. - - - - - BILLY GOAT - - - [Illustration: Fig. 1 · Fig. 2 · Fig. 3 · Fig. 4] - -Follow the basic instruction for the finger puppets on page 35. - -FEATURES: Cut toe from second sock, turn inside out and sew to a -narrower end (Figure 1). Turn, stuff and stitch to the face. Embroider -two nostrils at the tip and sew on a red mouth. Cut two circles of brown -felt and sew to each side of the head. Add bright buttons or beads to -complete the eyes. For a sleepy look, use flat button eyes and sew -crescent-shaped pieces of felt over so that only the bottom half of the -eyes shows. Embroider eyelashes, or cut them from felt, if you want to -give Mr. Billy Goat a coy expression. - -EARS AND HORNS: Cut ears as shown and sew to the top of the head (Figure -2). Make horns from white felt, sewing them into a tube. Insert pipe -cleaners into the tubes so that they can be bent to the desired shape. -Sew firmly to the top of the head, pushing pipe cleaners down into the -head a bit. Curve horns backwards (Figure 3). - -WHISKERS: Add a pom pom (wound only 10 times) under the chin and trim to -a point. - -TRIM: Add a high, formal white collar with a black bow tie. Make a pair -of spectacles from thin wire with the nose piece setting well towards -the tip (Figure 4). - - - - - ARM PUPPETS - - - [Illustration: Fig. 1 · Fig. 2 · Fig. 3 · Fig. 4] - -The puppets shown on the following pages are basically those in which -the mouth is made to move by the action of the hand. In making these -puppets keep in mind that ample room must be left over and under the -mouth piece for the fingers to operate freely to obtain the maximum -facial expressions. Do not use staples, pins or other sharp objects to -hold pieces together since they are apt to cut the hand or fingers. Make -the puppets large enough so that they can be easily slipped on and off -by the child or adult using them. - -STEP NO. 1: Tuck the heel of the sock to make a straight tubular piece. - -STEP NO. 2: Cut the foot of the sock as shown by the dotted lines. - -STEP NO. 3: Turn the sock inside out and cut a piece of red material the -shape of the mouth opening. Also cut a matching piece from cardboard. -Sew the red material to the sock with an overhand stitch or use your -sewing machine. - -STEP NO. 4: Turn the sock right side out. Fold the cardboard piece in -half and insert in the sock. - -STEP NO. 5: Add features such as button eyes, nose, hair and so forth. - -ANIMATION: Most talking puppets are operated by placing the thumb under -the bottom cardboard piece and the fingers over the upper piece. Open -and close the hand to make the puppet talk. Twisting the hand will give -a variety of facial expressions and moving the arm about will add to the -illusion. - - - - - VARIATIONS - - - [Illustration: uncaptioned] - -The basic instructions above are for the crocodile which appeared in the -September 1954 issue of _Pack-O-Fun_ magazine. With modifications, -literally hundreds of puppet variations can be made. By simply adding a -saw-toothed strip of felt on top, Mr. Crocodile can be turned into a -scaly, scary dragon. Or by shortening the mouth and building up the -head, as we did for the clown and ringmaster on page 40, you can create -a multitude of lovable characters from Hansel and Gretel to modern -animated cartoon animals. - -Whiskers and mustaches will give villainous or rube-like looks; eyes and -ears can be exaggerated for comic expressions; cheeks can be padded for -a chubby look and noses can be anything from a tiny button to a long -duck’s beak. Hairdos can be long and feminine, short and boyish or -fringed for a lion’s mane. Hats, dresses and other costume pieces will -enhance the puppet character and hide the arm. - -The puppets on pages 42-43 were made for the underwater western skit -“Phineas Rides Again” written by our Katie Conrad. Four of the -characters are talking puppets. Louie the Lobster is a finger puppet and -will give you an idea how both types of puppets can be combined for -maximum visual effect. Susie Starfish has no moving parts, but being the -beautiful heroine really doesn’t need any! It is possible for one person -to handle all six roles. - - - - - CLOWN PUPPET - - - [Illustration: Fig. 1 · Fig. 2 · Fig. 3 · Fig. 4] - -For Sock No. 1 follow Steps 1, 2, 3, 4 on page 39, but make the mouth -shorter. - -HEAD: Cut 4″ from the toe of the second sock. Stuff lightly, but firmly, -so that it doesn’t get too heavy (Figure 1). Sew to the top of the first -sock, turning under the rough edges. Be careful not to sew the space -above the cardboard closed in Sock No. 1. Shape nice and round (Figure -2). - -FEATURES: For eyes use large round or crescent-shaped pieces of felt -with bright buttons sewn on. Embroider exaggerated eyebrows. Use a big -bead or button for the nose. Colorful pom poms (see page 32) are sewn on -for sideburns. Cut a piece of bright red felt for an upper lip and sew -it to the top sock (Figure 3). - -COSTUME: Add a cone-shaped hat (see Clown Doll on page 27) perched at a -rakish angle. To hide the arm, stitch a colorful ruffle around the -neck—being careful not to sew it so tight that you will have difficulty -getting your arm in the puppet (Figure 4). - -ANIMATION: Slip the thumb into the bottom part of the mouth and the -fingers into the top. - - - - - RINGMASTER - - - [Illustration: Fig. 1 · Fig. 2 · Fig. 3 · Fig. 4] - -Make the head the same way as the clown above. - -FEATURES: The ringmaster’s features are more nearly natural than those -of the clown. Embroider thick eyebrows in black, brown or red yarn and -sew buttons under them for eyes. For the nose cut a triangular piece -from a matching sock, sew the long edges together and turn. Stuff -lightly and sew to face. Bend the nose to give it a slight hook (Figure -1). The curling mustache, hair and neat sideburns can be embroidered in -yarn matching or contrasting with the eyebrows (Figure 2). Ears can be -cut from felt. Sew them on so that they stick out a bit. - -COSTUME: Use shiny black oilcloth to make the top hat described on page -31. Set at a jaunty angle and whip stitch to head. Stitch a white wing -collar around the neck with just the suggestion of a tie (Figure 3). For -greater realism add the upper part of a frock coat with wide lapels. Put -a white carnation on the right lapel (Figure 4). - -OTHER CIRCUS PUPPETS: By following the basic head patterns you can make -other circus folk and animals. For features use the many suggestions for -the Sock Animals and Sock Dolls. For example, for a talking elephant -stitch a trunk right above the mouth, add tusks and big ears, a tasseled -headpiece and so forth. - - - - - Phineas Rides Again - - - Reprinted from _Pack-O-Fun Skit Book No. 1_ - - [Illustration: uncaptioned] - -The puppets are made from old socks with burlap, felt, cardboard, -sponge, plastic lacing and buttons used for features, tentacles, and -claws. - -The operators sit on chairs on either side of a theatre made from a -cardboard carton, with openings cut in each side. Stage directions for -right and left are for a person ON STAGE, facing the audience. The -direction from which each character enters must be considered in making -the puppets. - -(_The ANNOUNCER appears in front of the curtain._) - -Announcer: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! For years the -action-filled western has reigned supreme as a favorite with adventure -story lovers. Recently, however, its popularity has been challenged by a -rush of interest in underwater drama. Tonight, we combine these trends -and proudly present a production that will please everyone: -A-Cowboy-Story-Under-The-Sea. Its title is “Phineas Rides Again” or “The -Foam Ranger.” - -The following exciting characters will appear: - - Phineas Fish—_The Hero_ - Clem Clam—_His Sidekick_ - Susie Starfish—_The Heroine_ - Oily Oliver Octopus—_The Villain_ - Louie the Lobster—_His Accomplice_ - Sam Sponge—_The Sheriff_ - -Shall we join the players way down yonder in the wild western ocean? - -(_ANNOUNCER leaves, and the curtain opens far enough to reveal the -puppet theatre. PHINEAS has entered from RIGHT and is on stage, alone, -singing. Others backstage may join him to add to the volume._) - -Phineas: (_To the tune of “Home on the Range”_) - - Oh, give me a home where the mackerel roam - And the cod and the anchovies play. - Where often is seen, the cheerful sardine - And the sunfish is shining all day. - -(_CLEM enters from LEFT during song._) - -Phineas: Hi ya Clem.

What’s the Sheriff doing? - -Clem: Oh, he’s floundering around. - -Phineas: Clem, go tell him we’ll help solve this case. - -Clem: O.K. (_CLEM leaves, PHINEAS begins singing “I’m An Old Cow Hand,” -but is violently bumped as the SHERIFF enters LEFT._) - -Phineas: Hey, Sam, did you do that on porpoise? - -Sheriff: Sorry, Finny. I haven’t been so excited since my dogfish had -guppies. - -Phineas: Clem told me about the robbery. Have you found the varmints -yet? - -Sheriff: Nope. They left a red herring on the trail. - -Phineas: Hm. Must have been some daring soles. - -Sheriff: Oh, I don’t know. Only an ’eel would do a thing like that. - -Phineas: I’ll go get my sea horse from the coral and join the posse. - -Sheriff: Fine. See you later. (_SHERIFF leaves. Before PHINEAS can -leave, a girl is heard, crying, and SUSIE enters, LEFT._) - -Susie: Oh, I’m so frightened! Please help me, Phineas. - -Phineas: Stop your blubberin’, little gal. What’s wrong? - -Susie: (_weeping_) I can’t find the Sheriff! I think I know who robbed -the bank, and they’re after me! - -Phineas: Who, gal, who? - -Susie: Oily Oliver Octopus and Louie the Lobster! - -Phineas: Are you sure? Why I remember them when they were just a couple -of perch-snatchers. - -Susie: Oh, yes. I saw them near the bank this morning, but I didn’t -realize what they were going to do. - -Phineas: I’ll go tell the Sheriff. He’ll throw out the fishnet. - -Susie: (_wailing_) Oh, don’t leave me! Stur-geon-na be trouble. - -Phineas: Don’t you fret, Susie, gal. Hide behind that clump of seagrass -till I come back. (_PHINEAS leaves, RIGHT. SUSIE also leaves, LEFT, -apparently to hide. OLIVER enters RIGHT and LOUIE, LEFT._) - -Oliver: Well, we made our get-away all right. - -Louie: Yep, but I’m scared, boss. We’ve got to catch that little -starfish before she talks. - -Oliver: Well, where is she? She came this way. - -Louie: ’Course I kinda hate to hurt her. Gosh, she’s purtier than Marlin -Monroe! - -Oliver: Forget it! Don’t be a sucker for a pretty fish. - -Louie: Reckon you’re right. I’ll go look that-a-way. (_leaves, LEFT._) - -Oliver: (_Looks about, sees SUSIE hiding and drags her on stage from -left._) Aho! So there you are. Come on out. - -Susie: I was right! It WAS you and Louie. - -Oliver: Yes, but you’ll never tell. - -Susie: Unhand me, you cod! Somebody else already knows! - -Oliver: Who? - -Susie: I won’t tell! - -Oliver: Talk, you little sprat! - -Susie: I won’t! I won’t! - -Oliver: So you’re gonna clam up? Wait’ll I get Louie! (_OLIVER leaves, -and SUSIE is alone._) - -Susie: (_wailing_) Land o’Ocean, what shall I do? (_PHINEAS enters, -RIGHT._) - -Phineas: I’ll save you, Susie gal! Go hide again, quick! (_SUSIE -disappears quickly and LOUIE enters from the LEFT._) - -Louie: Hey, Boss, where is she? (_sees PHINEAS._) Out o’ my way, Buster. - -Phineas: I’ll fix you, you lobster mobster! (_PHINEAS rushes at LOUIE, -butts him from underneath with his head and mouth and LOUIE gives a -bounce in the air and collapses over the front of the stage, hanging -limply. PHINEAS leaves._) - -Phineas: (_offstage_) And you! I’ll smush you, you octopus, you! -(_OLIVER flies in after some loud offstage noises, bounces up in the air -and collapses next to LOUIE over the front of the stage._) Clem! -Sheriff! Drag these sidewinders out of here! (_OLIVER and LOUIE go off -limply, as if being dragged. PHINEAS enters, RIGHT._) - -Susie: (_offstage_) Can I come out now? - -Phineas: Come on. It’s all over. They’ve vamoosed to the calaboose. - -Susie: (_enters LEFT_) My hero! You’re a dol-Phin-eas! - -Phineas: Shucks, ’Twarn’t nuthin’. - -Susie: But however did you do it? They’re so strong and powerful! - -Phineas: For years I used to be just another poor fish. But then I -started eating a better breakfast every day, and now I win all my -fights. - -Susie: My goodness! But tell me, what do you eat for breakfast? - -Phineas: Why SEAWEEDIES, Gal, SEAWEEDIES!! - -Susie: My CHAMPION! (_They kiss._) - -_Curtain_ - - - - - SKIT PUPPETS - - -SUSIE STARFISH - - [Illustration: Fig. 1 · Fig. 2] - - SEW TO HEART - -Use a pastel colored sock to hide the arm. From white or light pink felt -cut a star-shaped face about 6″ from tip to tip. Round the points for a -soft look. For hair, cut a heart-shaped piece of black, yellow or red -felt. Sew to star face with matching thread. Add eyebrows, long inverted -coy eyelashes, two stitches to suggest a nose and a red rosebud mouth -(Figure 1). Sew the star-face to the sole of the sock (Figure 2). - - -PHINEAS FISH - - [Illustration: Fig. 1 · Fig. 2] - - SLIT HERE - SEW CIRCLE HERE - -Use a white sock for our hero. Cut a 1½″ slit in the toe and turn the -sock inside out. Cut a 3½″ circle of pink or red felt, fold and -overstitch around mouth slit (Figure 1). Turn sock right side out and -add a thin lip line. For the fan-shaped tail, cut strip of burlap or -felt and sew to sock cuff, pleating slightly. Be careful not to sew cuff -together. Hide the rough cut edges with a band of felt. (Figure 2). Add -fins and bright colored gills. Button eyes and a few accents of paint -will provide realism. Add a cowboy hat (see page 31) and tie or stitch -to head (Figure 3). To animate Phineas, slip two fingers above the mouth -and two fingers under the mouth. Open and close scissors-fashion. - -Remember to sew a tuck in the heels to make straight tubular socks. -Puppets are made for either hand and stage directions can be reversed. -Dye white socks if colored socks are not available. - - -CLEM CLAM - - [Illustration: Fig. 1 · Fig. 2 · Fig. 3] - - SLIT HERE - CUT ACROSS HERE - - STITCH TO SOCK - -Make Clem from a light colored sock. The head is shortened by cutting -off the toe of the sock (Figure 1). For the mouth, cut a clam-shaped -piece of pink felt and matching piece from stiff cardboard (Figure 2). -Follow the basic instructions on page 39, stretching the sock to fit the -shape of the mouth pieces. Sew on big, bright blue button eyes, add a -short, colored felt beard under the chin and paint black, clam-like -streaks on top of the head (Figure 3). Make a cowboy hat (see page 31) -and stitch to head. Operate like the basic puppet. - - -SHERIFF SAM SPONGE - - [Illustration: Fig. 1 · Fig. 2 · Fig. 3] - - SEW SPONGE TO SOCK - -Use light green socks and make the same way as the clown on page 40. -Substitute two thin pieces of yellow cellulose sponge in place of felt -mouth. Use separate pieces for the top and bottom because dry cellulose -sponge is not very pliable (Figure 1). Embroider a mustache, long hair -and sideburns in dark green yarn. Sew on big yellow button eyes. Add a -cowboy hat (see page 31 for hats) with a silver star and stitch a bright -bandana around the neck (Figure 2). Operate like the clown puppet. - - -OILY OLIVER OCTOPUS - - [Illustration: Fig. 1 · Fig. 2 · Fig. 3] - -A black sock is a must for this black hearted villain. Make the same way -as the clown on page 40, only with a much smaller mouth. Cut two -half-crescents from white felt, sew on head and add small button eyes -(Figure 1). For tentacles, cut eight triangular pieces of material, -about 6″ long and 2″ at the base. Sew the long sides together, stuff -lightly and stitch to body with seams on the bottom (Figure 2). Make a -stovepipe hat, following hat principles on page 31, and stitch to head -at an angle (Figure 3). Operate like the clown puppet. - - -LOUIE THE LOBSTER - - [Illustration: Fig. 1 · Fig. 2 · Fig. 3] - - CUT HERE - SEW ON DOTTED LINE - CUT HERE - FIT CLAWS OVER “ARMS” - -A devilish red sock suits this villain. Turn it inside out. Cut off the -rib and the toe. Sew two 4″ seams, about 1″ apart (Figure 1). Cut out -the material between the seams. Turn sock right side out. Cut off a -piece of the toe, stuff lightly and sew between the “arms” for a head. -Attach two 1″ lengths of red pipe cleaner to the top of the head for -“eye stalks.” Add small bright buttons or beads to the tips. Use a long -plastic thong for the feelers. Push the thong through the head (Figure -2). From stiff cardboard cut out two claws and paint red. Stuff about 1″ -of the “arms” and sew the claws to the stuffed ends. Add four bent red -pipe cleaners to each side of the body for legs (Figure 3). To operate, -use forefinger and little finger to move the “arms.” - - [Illustration: uncaptioned] - - - - - PENGUIN - - - [Illustration: Fig. 1 · Fig. 2 · Fig. 3 · Fig. 4] - - CUT HERE - STUFF WELL - FORM A CHEST WITH FINGERS - STUFF WELL - SEW ON WINGS - SEW TO BODY - -BODY: Use cut foot portion from white sock, or if you wish a larger -penguin, take a tuck in the heel making a long tubular piece. Stuff toe -lightly for head and heavier toward the opening which will be the base -of the penguin. Sew opening closed. Tie off at the neck with a formal -black bow-tie (Figure 1). - -WINGS: From black material, felt or oilcloth, cut two pieces for each -wing as shown. Seam, turn and insert a piece of cardboard the same size -and shape. Sew on just below the neck (Figure 2). - -FEET: Cut two webbed feet from black material and two from cardboard. -Sew or glue one of each together and fasten to the base of the penguin -(Figure 3). - -FEATURES: Sew a tiny white button onto a small circle of black felt for -each eye. Make a cone-shaped beak from yellow felt. Draw a line along -each side to indicate the mouth and sew to the front of the head (Figure -4). - -PENGUIN FAMILY: Make Mrs. Penguin slightly smaller, and Junior about -two-thirds size. Mr. Penguin will, of course, wear a top hat (page 31) -while Mrs. Penguin may have to be content with pattern design E-19. A -colorful apron might mollify her feelings though. Junior can wear a top -hat or, since he’s a bit young, a beanie. - - - - - DUCK - - - [Illustration: Fig. 1 · Fig. 2 · Fig. 3 · Fig. 4] - - STUFF UNTIL PLUMP - GATHER & TIGHTEN BEFORE CLOSING - TURN ENDS DOWN - CUT TWO WINGS - SEW WINGS TO SIDES - SEW TO SOCK HERE - CUT TWO OF THESE - -BODY: Use foot from light colored sock. Stuff plump and round. Sew up -opening in the bottom. Tie off about one-third the way down for the -head. Add a stiff-necked white collar with the tabs turned back around -the neck (Figure 1). - -WINGS: From stiff material of the same color, cut two wings as shown. -Sew one to each side of the body with tip of the wings extending down -and out at the bottom to form the tail (Figure 2). - -FEET: Cut two webbed feet from cardboard and two from stiff material. -Sew one of each together and fasten to the bottom of the duck (Figure -3). - -FEATURES: Sew a round black button onto a large circle of white felt for -each eye. Make the beak from two pieces of felt and sew to the front of -the face (Figure 4). - -OPTIONAL: If you want to make a sailor out of your duck, add a sailor -hat perched at an angle on the top of his head and the regular sailor’s -collar and neckerchief. To make the collar, use a rectangle of blue -material, cut a deep arc from one corner to the other, then overlap -corners at the front. Embroider or paint 3 white stripes along the three -outside edges—add neckerchief. The hat is made from the ribbed end of a -sock. Cut off the cuff, gather rough edge together tightly and turn back -the other edge about 1″. If you prefer a stiff brim, insert a piece of -cardboard around the inside of the turned back section. - - - - - DOUBLE DOLL - - -There are any number of combinations that you might like to try for your -double doll, such as Peppy and Sleepy, Suzy and Sammy or a couple of -clowns. We have chosen Happy and Dumpy. - -BODY: Take a tuck in the heel of the sock so that you have a straight -tubular sock. Cut off the cuff. Stuff plumply and firmly and sew opening -closed. Tie off the middle to divide the sock into two dolls; then tie -off the head about half way down from each end (Figure 1). Do not tie -tightly or doll will be too wobbly. - - [Illustration: Fig. 1] - -FEATURES: The big differences in these two dolls are the features which -are exactly the opposite. Both faces have the same type of nose made by -pulling a piece of the face into a ball or lump and then tying off with -yarn or thread. The eyebrows are embroidered in black yarn. Happy’s -eyebrows are curved in a convex manner while Dumpy’s are concave. Use -large bright buttons for eyes, centering them under the eyebrows. -Embroider a few tears running from Dumpy’s eyes. Dumpy has a turned down -mouth made of red felt while Happy’s mouth is turned up in a big grin. -Cut the two mouths identically and merely reverse the points. A few -frown lines can be embroidered with brown yarn on Dumpy’s forehead -(Figure 2). - - [Illustration: Fig. 2] - -HAIR: Make the hair from pom poms, choosing a style from page 32. Happy -and Dumpy can be either boys or girls or one of each. Make Happy’s hair -from yellow or red pom poms; Dumpy’s from black or brown. Set Dumpy’s -hair lower on the head to accentuate the frowning look. If one or both -heads are boys, add ears of semicircular felt to the sides of the head. - -ARMS AND LEGS: Actually these are one and the same. The legs of one doll -serve as the arms of the other and vice-versa. Make them from a second -sock. Cut out four rectangles about twice the length of the head. Sew -the long edges together and across one end. Turn and stuff lightly. Sew -to the shoulders so that they hang freely. When the doll is flipped -over, one pair should flop to the sides for arms while the other pair -hangs down for the legs (Figure 3). Tie ribbon around the wrist/ankles. - - [Illustration: Fig. 3] - -DRESS: Make a wide flaring skirt from a pattern design on page 29. For -greater contrast sew two different colored pieces together so that when -the doll is flipped over a different colored skirt will appear. Add -blouses, bows, hats or any other bits that you think will make the dolls -look cuter. - - - - - OWL PILLOW - - - [Illustration: Fig. 1 · Fig. 2 · Fig. 3 · Fig. 4] - -BODY: Use foot of a large, dark sock. Stuff firmly, but flatten it as -you do. Sew opening closed. With yarn, tie off the head about one-third -of the way down. - -FEATURES: Sew two white felt circles fairly close together and in the -middle of each sew small yellow buttons for the eyes. Make a small -cone-shaped beak from shiny oilcloth and sew on just below the eyes so -that eyes and nose form a triangle. Accent this triangle by embroidering -a “V” just above the eyes and nose (Figure 1). - -EARS: Cut four pieces as shown from the rest of the sock. Sew two -together for each ear, turn and stitch to top of head, pleating the -front half slightly (Figure 2). - -WINGS: Cut two wings from matching felt and sew one on each side of owl. -Accent with lines of white for feathers (Figure 3). To finish the owl, -embroider or paint wavy lines on the body between the two wings. Also -embroider claws at the bottom, curving them as if clinging to a branch -of a tree. Finally add a big red bow at the neck (Figure 4). If you -prefer a stuffed doll, stuff it round and plump and then add felt feet -at the bottom. - - - - - HUMPTY DUMPTY - - - [Illustration: Fig. 1 · Fig. 2 · Fig. 3 · Fig. 4] - -BODY: Use cut foot portion from sock. Round open edges. Stuff firmly and -sew opening closed. Push stuffing around until you have a nice egg -shape. - -FEATURES: For eyes, sew two small circles of black felt over two large -half-circles of white felt. The black eye pieces can be placed in the -center, to the sides or cross-eyed to get different effects. Add -eyebrows of black felt or embroider them in black yarn. A few stitches -in brown yarn will serve for a nose. Cut the mouth from red felt -(Figure 1). - -ARMS AND LEGS: Make two arms and legs from the second sock. Cut -rectangular pieces, sew along the long sides and across one end. Turn -and stuff. Sew the arms to the sides of the body and the legs to the -bottom. The longer the arms and legs are, the cuter your doll will be. -Tie yarn or ribbon around wrists and ankles. - -HAIR: Make yarn pom poms (see page 32) and sew them to the top of the -head. - -DRESS: From the pattern designs on page 29, make a pair of pants and -tack them on Humpty Dumpty. A colorful cap can be made from pattern -designs on page 31. If you decide to make shoes (page 30) bend the legs -for feet, stitching the tuck. - - - - - WEENIE DOLL - - - [Illustration: Fig. 1 · Fig. 2 · Fig. 3 · Fig. 4 · Fig. 5 · Fig. 6] - -Make your Weenie Doll from a dark sock so that his features really show -up. - -BODY: Use cut foot portion from sock. Stuff firmly and sew opening -closed. Tie off one-third the length for the head (Figure 1). - -FEATURES: Cut two ovals of white felt and two smaller ones of black. Sew -or glue the smaller ones to the larger and sew them on the face for the -eyes. Embroider eyelashes and eyebrows in black. Make a circle of red -felt with a stitch across the center for the mouth. Embroider a few -lines in the center of the face for the nose (Figure 2). - -EARS: Cut two petal-shaped ears. Roll outer edges, hem and sew to side -of head at eye level (Figure 3). - -ARMS AND FEET: Cut two arms from white felt and two from cardboard. Sew -one of each together, making sure you have one for the right and one for -the left side of the body. Stitch to body (Figure 4). Cut two feet from -black felt and two from cardboard. Sew one of each together and fasten -to the bottom of the doll. Add buckles or bow to the toes (Figure 5). - -CAP: Cut about 3″ from the ribbing of the sock. Gather cut edge together -tightly. Place cap on head, tying a band around the cap about 1″ down -from the gathers and adding a pom pom at the top (Figure 6). - - - - - HOBBY HORSE - - - [Illustration: Fig. 1 · Fig. 2 · Fig. 3 · Fig. 4] - -MOUTH: Cut an oval of cardboard 3″ × 4″ and insert it in the toe of the -sock. Stitch the toe of the sock to the edges of the cardboard to give -the mouth shape. Embroider brown ovals, just above the mouth for the -nostrils. Stuff toe firmly down to the heel of the sock (Figure 1). - -FEATURES: Make eyes from tear-drop shaped pieces of black felt with tiny -brown buttons in the center. With paint add a highlight of white in the -center of each eye. Cut two ears from brown felt or leatherette. Fold in -half and sew to the top of the head. Add a mane made from fringe or -loops of yarn. Start at the top of the head over the eyes, go between -the ears and down the back of the horse (Figure 2). - -RIDING STICK: Push a broomstick into the sock up to the heel. Pad well -all around the broomstick down to the cuff of the sock (Figure 3). Tie -off tightly. Add a halter made from leatherette or oilcloth, carrying -the reins to the back of the horse’s neck. Add festive pom poms and -jingle bells (Figure 4). - - - - - Transcriber’s Notes - - -—Silently corrected a few typos. - -—Some instructions reference numbered figures which do not appear in the - printed edition. - -—Retained publication information from the printed edition: this eBook - is public-domain in the country of publication. - -—In the text versions only, text in italics is delimited by - _underscores_. - - - - - - - -End of Project Gutenberg's How to Make Sock Toys, by John M.
