elephant- finger puppet

ch- chain, inc.- increase 1 sc in next sc, sl st.- slip stitch

note- that all parts are worked in continuous rounds, so have stitch marker to know the beginning of each round.

for the body
magic circle- ch 6
R 1- inc, 1 sc, rep. 9 sc at the end of the round
R 2- inc, 1 sc in next 2 sc, rep. , you'll have 12 sc at the end of the round
R-3-10  sc in each around, sl st, fasten off at the end of the round
note- in case you want it longer, you're free to do a few more rounds.

ears make 2
magic circle-  6 sc
inc. in each sc, i.e. 12 sc at the end, fasten off.

eyes- either make a magic circle 3 sc, sl st. fasten off, pull very tight  OR
you can make 3 ch, join to 1st sc, fasten off, pull tight
either way, after you've made, with black thread, pull tight from each side, then attach to the correct place in the project.
Why I preferred to make such eyes is, when I had made with ready-made eyes for a fish & gave it to a 2 + year old boy to play, the first thing he did was to pull out both eyes, by twisting it well !

for trunk
make 3 ch, join
sc in each sc
sc, inc., sc
continue in those 4 sc as long as you want the trunk to be
stitch the trunk slightly below the eyes, shape the trunk.

join the ears on either side of the face.
there your puppet is ready to entertain the kids.

feel free to ask for any queries, as in most post, I forget to describe when I make changes in the design too, then I forget how I made. Now, as my memory is still fresh from making it now, thought best to write it down for those interested in the puppet.

For eyes for the elephant, I made by making 2 consecutive knots in the wool, then stitched around to tighten it, then I stitched the eye, as elephants have very small eyes compared to their bodies.

little bunny

The basic body, I did according to a design, the ears & tail  are my own ideas.
this was also a very quick amigurumi, being small, not complicated at all.

little owl

this was one of the fastest amigurumi animal I made, of course it was small, compared to others, but it was easy.

Friendly white ghost- hand puppet

little finger puppets

snowman, with the orange nose !

next one is supposed to be a polar bear, his winter friend

brown bunny

the last one, you can call it whatever you like !

these aren't my creations, except the eyes, nose, mouth are mine.

little duck

This little duck isn't totally mine, as in the original, it was to be a puppet, but I preferred it like this. Then I made upper & lower beaks, for it to quack, quack !
