30+ Sweet Softies: {Free Patterns & Tutorials}
These are so cute, perfect for gift giving and stocking stuffers. They’re each sewn in fabric or felt, all patterns and tutorials are available free online.
I had no idea how difficult it was to find free tutorials for non-monster-alien-ish stuffies! Several Easter themed softies available too but I decided to keep the list from being overrun with rabbits, only one is included in the list below. Check out the Free Bunny Pattern Roundup if you’re looking for bunnies.

This Retro Doll Pajama Bag Pattern isn’t a softie, but it’s for youths and it’s very retro-cool!
Red Heel Sock Monkey
I happened across an original copy from Nelson Rockford (including a like-new pair of socks attached, yay!). Who says there’s nothing but junk to be found at garage sales, hehe.
I made a copy to store on Tipnut, the full pattern is a single pdf file so you can download and save it for yourself if you like. The two page scan includes instructions for how to make a red heel sock monkey as well as the sock elephant doll.

HI! Love the cat. I am going to sew the face to the body before I stuff it. Just a suggestion. Can’t wait to make these for my grandchildren (the big ones too) June Bug
Hi! Just finished making the stripe-y cat for my little cousin. It worked out well-for my first softie =] Like June suggested, I stitched the face on before stuffing it.
Thankyou for the pattern! I’m off to make another..Scotty maybe?

Wow! I love, love loooove Oopsie the Octopus!! I’m going to make one tommorow!!!
How do I find this pdf pattern for oopsie the octopus. Please help ASAP.
Hi Ellen, click the link to visit the tutorial page then scroll down to the end of the tutorial. You’ll see a printer icon that says Printer Friendly Version, click that and it gives you the pdf.
Thank you so much for the information in your website. It’s so nice to know we can get much needed patterns. I printed the Sock Monkey pattern and I’m very excited! Thank you again!
