The Peter Rabbit Finger Puppets pattern is the fourth pattern in the Storytime Knits Collection. This design was inspired by and directly complements the children’s book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter. This pattern includes directions for 4 of the characters from the book: Peter, Mrs. Rabbit, Mr. McGregor, and the White Cat. There is ample left-over yarn from the project to make multiple sets of characters.
