Googlers - finger or hand puppets
Discover these delightful and versatile finger puppets, perfect for sparking creativity and fun in both children and adults alike! My 4-year-old niece has already taken a liking to the green one and insists on keeping it for herself, showcasing just how captivating these handmade treasures can be.
You might wonder whether to call them finger puppets, since the oversized eyes fit snugly over your fingers, or hand puppets, as the overall design utilizes your hand to bring them to life. The playful expressions you can create with these adorable puppets are nothing short of incredible. I wish I could share a video showcasing their charm to truly capture how cute they can be in action!
These unique puppets are the perfect DIY project for community fetes or as whimsical bon bon (cracker) fillers, using only about 10.5 meters (11.5 yards) of yarn. They make for an ideal stash buster, allowing you to use up leftover yarn creatively. Best of all, each puppet takes just 30 to 40 minutes to knit from start to finish, making them a fantastic and unusual novelty for crafters of all skill levels.
Knitted on just two needles with 8 ply (DK) yarn, these charming puppets are accessible to beginners and experienced knitters alike. Each puppet measures approximately 6.5 cm (2.5 inches) tall, making them the perfect size for tiny hands to manipulate and enjoy.
Please note, while I do not permit the copying of my knitting patterns in any format, I wholeheartedly encourage the selling of finished goods made from my designs. Unleash your creativity and bring these delightful finger puppets to life—your friends and family will adore them!
