Pilgrim Female Finger Puppet
Thanks to the generosity and hard work done by the homeschool Mom at Almost Unschoolers in designing and offering her patterns for free I have a set of three Thanksgiving finger puppets to put in my Thanksgiving box. I posted about the Pilgrim Man last week and will be posting about the Turkey soon. The pattern for the Pilgrim Female can be found here. While I buy quite a few patterns, I also do depend on the generosity of those who donate their designs and I try to remember to thank them for their gift. This allows me to make and do more.
If you have experience with amigurumi you can use these patterns as a base and play with them. I adapted the hands and as mentioned made the bases a bit larger. I used Caron Simply Soft for the face and hands. I used Caron One Pound for the dress and Lustersheen for the eyes and mouth. While the pattern did not require it I used Red Heart Sport yarn for the hat and apron as I thought worsted weight would be too heavy for the size of the puppet.
This couple makes a great quick project if you are looking to have some fun toys around for Thanksgiving.
