Description
🐑 AUSSIE ANIMAL FINGER PUPPETS VOL 9 — THE WHOLE FARM, IN YOUR POCKET
Every farm in Australia runs on characters, and Volume 9 knits the full crew: a bobble-fleeced merino, a kelpie who supervises everything, and the ginger farm cat who supervises the kelpie. We’re Al and Tina, an Aussie family shop, and these twelve original finger puppets turn story time, kindy and classroom shows, long car trips and grandparent visits into a performance — the merino and the kelpie are true Australia icons, and every puppet here is shaped its own way, with its own cast-on, its own shaping and its own woolly coat, udder, mane or comb. Faces are embroidered only: no plastic safety eyes, no small parts to come loose. This is a knitting pattern collection, not finished puppets — your download is the complete 33-page PDF.
