Using a basic pattern and the addition of colour-work and embroidery, you can create a set of eight colourful Christmas character finger puppets from Santa’s Grotto.

Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the puppets are knitted in acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round). The DPNs are used to knit i-cord pieces for the arms and reindeer antlers. The crochet hook is used to crochet a single chain for the collars, and to attach Santa’s beard.

A pair each of 3.25mm single pointed knitting needles and DPNs (US 3)

RECOMMENDED YARN
Deramores Studio Anti-Pilling DK; double knitting/light worsted weight; 100% acrylic; One 100g/250m skein in each colour

SIZES
One size only - Each puppet is approximately 10cm tall (without hats).
