Description
🧶 Aussie Animal Finger Puppets Vol 8 — 12 knitted rainforest puppet patterns (PDF download, 35 pages)
Twelve Aussie rainforest creatures to knit as finger puppets — the cast of Australia's wet tropics, from a tree kangaroo to a golden bowerbird with a bower of its own. Every puppet in this pack is shaped its own way: the butterfly's wings are big flat shaped pieces, the forest dragon wears a fanned frill worked with two increase ladders, the python is one long tapering coil, and the sugar glider's gliding membrane is sewn from wrist to ankle. No two makes feel the same, and every face is embroidery — no safety eyes, no small parts.
WHAT'S INSIDE
• 12 original finger puppet patterns: Tree Kangaroo, Green Tree Frog, Ulysses Butterfly, Boyd's Forest Dragon, Scrub Python, Victoria's Riflebird, Musky Rat-Kangaroo, Lace Monitor, Sugar Glider, Ringtail Possum, Striped Possum and Golden Bowerbird
• A dedicated photo page for every puppet
• A pattern-at-a-glance box for each pattern (skill level, finished size, yarn, needles)
• Full row-by-row instructions with the stitch count on every row
• Step-by-step assembly notes and a story-time tip for every character
YOU WILL NEED
• DK weight (8-ply) yarn in rainforest colours — about 10–15 g of the main colour per puppet
• 3.25 mm (US 3) double-pointed needles (or a circular needle for magic loop)
• A little polyester fiberfill, embroidery thread for faces, a tapestry needle, stitch markers and scissors
SKILL LEVEL
Confident beginner. If you can knit in the round and increase and decrease, you can make every puppet in this pack — each one takes an evening at most. Grandparents knit a set for story time; teachers keep a whole cast in a pencil case. These are the creatures of Australia's rainforests — the ones Aussie kids grow up spotting in the Daintree, in the creeks of Far North Queensland, Australia, and at the wildlife park.
