Happy Tuesday my fellow crafters!
Oops, I did it again! I'm excited to announce that a new collection of finger puppets is here. I just love crocheting these fun little characters — they bring so much joy and creativity to my projects. Each one is unique, and I can't wait for you to make and play with them along with your little ones!
Today we'll learn how to crochet two adorable Finger Puppets – a pig and a little rabbit!
As always, this is a super easy project, perfect for beginners!
