This is a puppet with a lot of personality! A quick project, Llama Puppet is knit from from the top to bottom in the round without seaming. Stitches are picked up to knit the arms, snout and ears . The puppet is then felted in either a washing machine or dryer- instructions are provided for both. Note that the body is knit with a non-felting yarn, so only the snout, ears and “hands” will felt. Safety eyes are installed and the mouth embroidered post-felting. The result is a soft, flexible and sturdy puppet that fits up to an adult hand.

Needles: Size US 10.5 circular needle, Size US 10.5 double pointed needles to work in the round (or size to meet gauge); Size US 11 circular needle, Size US 11 double pointed needles to work in the round (or size to meet gauge)
