Christmas time is filled with creative inspiration, great for story telling and the big imaginations of little ones!

Encourage that creativity in your child, with this fun and easy to make, Drosselmeyer puppet!

This puppet is made in one size, fitting children through adults, so that parents can play too! However, it can easily be adjusted by tightening your gauge or going down a hook size, if you’d like one to fit small children better.

Made in mostly single crochet, basic crochet knowledge is all that’s needed! Being familiar with croching in rnds is helpful, and some knowledge of hand sewing pieces together.
