So I want my monk to make a few monk-specific magic items on his own (Ring of Ki Mastery, Headband of Ki Focus, etc.) but all the magic item feats require a caster level. However, a number of these items require a ki pool or to be a monk to create. So, does that mean that I'd have to be a wizard/monk to make it work? Or am I missing something that would give monks an out here? I feel like I read something that let monks make such items, but I could just be crazy. Anyone know the answer to this or have suggestions as to how I could go about this?

Not having the required CL just means +5 DC. A monk can still craft them - it's just a bit more of a challenge. You still need the appropriate feat, though, and the appropriate skill (depending on what you're making). All other missing prerequisites just add five to the DC.
EDIT TO ADD:
See this comment from Sean K Reynolds on the subject

What I was specifically referring to was the fact that the item creation feats themselves required a caster level. Ptolmaeus found what I was looking for, the Master Craftsman feat, to bypass not being a wizard or cleric or such. Thank you very much for such a speedy reply :)

Options for monks to craft the way I see them
1.)Master Craftsman+Forge Ring/Craft Wondrous Items and funnel as much as you can into craft skills (Max Ranks+Masterwork tools+Skill focus (Craft) if you have a spare feat+Traits if possible) and take the +5DC on the check.
2.)Qinggong monk Spell-Like ability to have the requisite power for CL and take the +5 to DC.
3.)Find other option.
