My son recently lost some teeth and now looks like he has beaver teeth. So in honor of the occasion here is a beaver finger puppet pattern.

What hook, what yarn?
ReplyDeleteI used an f hook. As for the yarn it was from my stash which I acquired as mostly used balls of yarn from yard sales and thrift shops. I have no idea what it was originally. I just liked the color. I wish I had the money to buy beautiful new yarn, though. The yarn aisle always makes my heart go pitter patter.
