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
How Droofus the Dragon Lost His Head
Bizzy Bear: Knights' Castle
