If you’re in need of a really quick gift for a kid, these finger puppets are just the thing! They take very little yarn and very little time. You’ll likely spend more time embellishing them with the stitched on faces than you will actually knitting the puppets themselves.

This is a great pattern to make use of leftover yarn from other projects. The two yarns listed here are only recommendations based on the fact that they are washable, but any worsted weight yarn will be fine. Note that you’ll be using needles several sizes smaller than normally used for working with worsted. This is due to wanting a nice, firm fabric that can be stitched with embellishments and also that will hold up to much use!
