This Crochet Pattern is been on the "back burner"
for a while, And is now ready to release.
These are fun to make and fun to play with.
And They stitch up real fast!
Although I designed the puppets using Worsted Weight
Acrylic Yarn, you can also make them out of Cotton yarn.
They make great bath buddies, too!
I designed the puppet big enough to fit an adult's hand,
and small enough to fit a child's hand.
It measure about 9 X 6 inches.
The Pattern is very versatile and includes all 4 ear styles.
Cat, Bunny, Bear and Dog.
So the color and Style possibilities are endless.
