You can crochet absolutely adorable finger puppets from leftover yarn, and they are very popular with younger and older children. They fit in any pants pocket, so you always have your little puppet theater with you!
Here I’ll show you a selection from my finger puppet collection . All the finger puppets are about 8–9 cm tall. They have a thinner finger sleeve inside so they won’t slip off children’s little fingers.


Hippo, Lion and Monkey are at home in Africa, but they’re sure to feel very comfortable at your home too. You can crochet them very quickly and easily from just a few leftover yarn scraps, and then they can tell stories about their adventures...


The  two little hedgehogs Anny and Bruno are passionate gardeners. Just look at the beautiful sunflower Bruno is presenting to his beloved! Anny is very surprised and delighted.



And with this pattern you can crochet  five farm animals at once: little pig, cow, sheep, horse, and billy goat are good friends and know lots of funny stories to tell too.

You can decorate this pretty cover for tissue boxes with lots of colorful leftover yarn. It’s best to crochet several at once—even to give as gifts. People will probably snap them right out of your hands.

All the pieces are easy to make, even for beginners with the basic skills mentioned. You’ll have a lot of fun with this.
