Making a kitten out of socks isn't difficult at all. The sewing can be done by hand, there are only small pieces to stitch. If you can make the cat you can make many other animals too. Like a dog, a panther, a tiger, a polar bear, a brown bear, just use your imagination.

Draw the front and hind legs.

Back stitch the marked lines.

Leave a bit open between the hind paws so you can later stuff the body.
