Dorothy Finger Puppet Free Crochet Pattern

Updated: Aug 9, 2022

Hello my dear crafters! How's your week going so far?

I have to admit that have been so impressed on your feedback on my finger puppets projects I shared with you all in the post months, that I decided to work on a new fun collection!

I used to love the Wizard of Oz when I was little. I remember I would listen to the story on my audiocassette over and over again with my brother - what a wonderful memory!!!

Today I'll be sharing the instructions to create the cute little Dorothy.

The pattern of the Lion is already available for free - click HERE to check the blog post!

To make braids: cut 3 long strands of brown yarn for each braid. Thread your yarn onto a tapestry needle and insert the tip of the needle below the front loop of sts # 5-6-7 and # 18-19-20. Fold your yarn in half. Braid the yarn and make a knot to secure the braid. Cut the extra length.

Embroider the NOSE with beige yarn between rnds # 7-8, by wrapping some yarn vertically on two sts.

Cut a long strand of light blue yarn and with the help of the tapestry needle, create the dress straps on the front and on the back of the puppet.
