🧶 AUSSIE ANIMAL FINGER PUPPETS VOL 10 — 12 NOCTURNAL PUPPET PATTERNS (PDF Knitting Pattern, 36 Pages)
When the sun goes down over the Australian bush, a whole second cast wakes up — and this is that cast. Powerful owls hoot from the gum trees, gliders sail silently between the branches, and the tiniest hunters in Australia come out to play. This tenth volume of our Aussie animal finger puppets brings together twelve nocturnal favourites from all across Australia, each one knitted its own way: two owls with differently built faces, three gliders with three different membranes, and a ghost bat with great scalloped wings. Knit the full cast for story time under the lamp, classroom performances, or a very Australian after-dark puppet show.
✨ WHAT'S INSIDE — 12 NOCTURNAL FINGER PUPPET PATTERNS:
• Powerful Owl — Australia's largest owl, its pale face a knitted cup
• Australian Masked Owl — with a heart-shaped face worked flat
• Brushtail Possum — pointed face, big ears and a long curling tail
• Feather-tail Glider — the tiny one, with a flat feather tail
• Yellow-bellied Glider — with sunny yellow triangular sails
• Greater Glider — fluffy ears, and a membrane grown from the body
• Long-nosed Potoroo — a proper digging snout, sewn on low
• Rufous Bettong — its snout shaped right into the head
• Ghost Bat — pale as moonlight, with scalloped wings
• Fat-tailed Dunnart — tiny, with a plump bulge in its tail
• Kultarr — long hind legs, built for bouncing
• Planigale — the flattest little head in the bush
Every puppet is shaped its own way — its own cast-on, its own increase and decrease ladders, its own ears, discs, membranes or wings — so no two knits in this pack feel the same. The faces are all embroidery, with no plastic parts, making these Aussie puppets lovely for supervised play, teaching, and bedtime stories with an Australian twist.
🧶 YOU WILL NEED:
• Small amounts of DK (8 ply) yarn in each puppet's colours (each uses well under 25 g)
• 3.25 mm double-pointed needles (or magic loop)
• Tapestry needle, a pinch of fiberfill, embroidery thread for the faces
🌿 SKILL LEVEL: Confident beginner — knit in the round, knit, purl, increase (kfb) and decrease (k2tog, ssk). Every round states its stitch count, and every pattern gives full row-by-row instructions, a materials and gauge guide, and step-by-step finishing and assembly notes.
