It was unveiled at the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence, Rhode Island, USA, on 2 December 2011. The cream and brown color sock was designed to resemble a 'sock monkey' puppet, and consisted of nearly 183 metres of cotton material as well as required nearly 12,802 metres of cotton thread to create.
