We all used to make our own toys, sometimes by basic sewing, sometimes by attaching decorations to everyday objects or simple embroidery. The basic idea of crochet hand puppets reminds me of exactly this – taking a sock and making a full-fledged character out of it.
With the use of crochet techniques you can create really stunning hand puppets, and it’s easy! Today I present you knight, prince and mermaid. Just these three can tell a beautiful story about courage and adventures, but you can come up with your own characters and make them just by changing colors and details.
