If you want to crochet something truly special for your child, why not try making your own hand puppets? It’s a completely unique gift that lets you really unleash your creativity. And your child will be thrilled—because no one else has hand puppets like these!
Kasperl is, of course, the main character. As the most important puppet, he’s the only one with legs. He’s an absolute must-have in your puppet collection. For his outfit, you can use lots of colorful leftover yarn or a colorful gradient yarn.
The gluttonous crocodile appears in almost every Kasperl puppet show. Basically, though, it’s harmless and just constantly hungry. That’s why it opens its mouth so wide and bares its teeth. The crocodile has no arms or legs. It only moves its mouth.
The police officer is a bit simple-minded, but he’s always there when law and order need protecting. You can immediately recognize him as an officer by his blue uniform and cap.
