Knight Finger Puppet

The castle is becoming populated as I work on other projects that are more long term to finish. The puppets are quick to make as I'm working on a October birthday present that if anything is more complicated than the castle was but I'm finding it a good challenge.

This puppet is made with worsted weight yarn and an H hook. You can find the free pattern for the set which also includes a princess I've not yet made here.

Notes:

Worsted weight yarn

H Hook

I chained a handle for the shield and then still sewed it to puppet hand so it wouldn't fall off and get lost

Knight Finger Puppet

I purchased the Little People Play and Go Castle at Kohls for a December birthday present. I decided I would try to add some characters using Bizzy Crochet's free finger puppet patterns. The holiday finger puppets were a huge hit, so I thought adding some characters to the set would be fun. I also suspect they are small enough and flat enough they can fit right in the carrying case.

The knight was made using small amounts of Red Heart Super Saver for the grey and Caron One Pound for the yellow and red.

These finger puppets make great stocking stuffers or additions to other toy sets even if you don't make the crochet castles she has on her site. I have made several sets now for gifts and donations and they are quick and fun gifts for children.

Knight with Red Plume Finger Puppet

As I mentioned in the previous knight post I am working on a finger puppet fairytale project mixing and matching patterns to find projects to add to my supply. This knight was an part of an earlier project I had found from Crochetme. I wrote around Easter about making the dragon from this set to send as part of an Easter package. I was not even remotely ready to consider working on doll faces when I made the first couple of dragons. I still struggle with faces, but have decided it can be done. I still hate working on faces, especially when safety eyes are not useful.



I am pleased with my two knights so far. I am thinking that I might expand the troops in the spring with my Easter package and experiment with their accessories.

Knight with Shield Finger Puppet

I love finding new patterns, especially those that are free or bonuses that come with subscriptions to magazines I buy. I wrote in an earlier blog about finding out about the online web bonuses offered by Crochet World for both print and online subscription magazine buyers. When I found out I downloaded a bunch of patterns and this is the first one I have had the chance to make. This is from the April 2010 web bonuses still available as of the date of this blog. It is labeled Castle Tote and has several projects available including the knight I made here.

This knight is part of a fairytale project I am making using a couple of different patterns I have collected. I will be posting more of the projects this week and next week as I continue and letting people know where the free patterns can be found. Like the farm project I hope to have it completed and ready to ship for Christmas. I started the most complicated part of the project last night. I chose not to use the castle from the Crochet World and am opting for a different pattern. I think I may try the Crochet World castle at another time with different dolls found in the other castle I am working on now. I have never had a problem with mixing and matching my toy projects as long as the items fit into the containers.
