With a crocheted carnival mask like this, you'll look extravagant and mysterious for Carnival. Depending on your costume, you can easily make it in a solid color without any additional embellishments (white mask), with a border made of glitter yarn (red mask), or richly decorated with sequins and beads (black mask). You’ll only need about 10–15 g of yarn (preferably cotton or glitter yarn).
The pattern describes each round in detail, but there’s also a crochet chart.

All children love cute finger puppets as party favors after a birthday party, even if they’re already a little older. After all, it’s something truly unique that they usually don’t get anywhere else!

You can crochet finger puppets anytime in between using leftover yarn you already have. It’s very easy and lots of fun!

Animals and figures matching the theme of the children’s birthday party are especially popular.

Here are a few suggestions:

 Lion, Hippo, Monkey (jungle party)

 Elephant, Giraffe, Crocodile (jungle party)

Easter Bunny Family (Easter party)

  Clown (circus or carnival party)

2 Ghosts (ghost or Halloween party)

You can find more crochet patterns for finger puppets here!
