Dragon Hand Puppet

I'm still thinking about making one more Thanksgiving hot pad if I have time but for the most part I'm moving on to getting my Christmas projects done. I've got a castle theme started and I found free hand puppet patterns for a dragon, knights, and a princess that I plan on working on to see what I can finish for Christmas. What I don't finish we fit nicely into later holiday boxes. You can find the free dragon pattern here.

This pattern works from the head down so there is no need to sew the sides together. I used worsted weight acrylic yarn and I liked the outcome. The eyes were made using a slightly different technique and I was pleased with the outcome.

The various castle themed items will be going out with the following books: The Knight and the Dragon

Dragon Finger Puppets

Around Easter last year I wrote about the Crochetme Dragon finger puppets I was making as part of Easter basket fillers. I posted pictures and did not feel I had the skill to work on the human characters that went with the set.




When I started this fairytale project I found an additional dragon finger puppet pattern in the April 2010 web bonus patterns at Crochet World. As of the date of this blog entry that pattern is still available at Crochet World for subscribers if you are interested in finding it.


This picture does not do him all the justice I hoped, but he actually looks rather cute when in his natural shape.

As I mentioned when discussing the farm project, I am hoping to recreate in crochet some of my favorite childhood toys. I had the original Fisher Price Castle and loved the figures. The dragon and knight were two of my favorites from the set. Being able to find some fun crochet options has made preparing my Christmas packages fun.

My Amigurumi and Toy Projects

I started listing my personal toy projects on the toy links page, but they were starting to take up too much room. I wanted a page where I could direct family and friends to see pictures of my finished toy projects. A blog page with links to all the projects seemed a good choice. It is a great place for interested guests to view as well.
