Description
🧶 Platypus Hand Puppet Knitting Pattern — one complete pattern (PDF, 8 pages).
Story time, sorted: a big, friendly platypus on your hand, ready to narrate, giggle and act out every bedtime tale. This single pattern makes one knitted hand puppet — a proper glove puppet that fits an adult hand — starring one of Australia's best-loved animals, from our Aussie family shop.
One comfy glove base, a different head for every animal: all eleven of our hand puppets start from the same glove base (that's the part that fits your hand), and each animal's head is its own construction. The platypus's head is shaped exactly as this pattern describes — no two animals in the set are made the same way where it counts.
