Knitting help
Hi
I am looking to make some finger puppets to use at my library Rhyme Time sessions but l can only find crochet ones. I have tried crochet but just can't get the hang of it so was looking for some knitting patterns.
Does anyone know where l might find some please.
Many thanks

Ravelry has some, and is a good starting point for all sorts of patterns.

Sorry for the late reply but I wanted to suggest Operation Christmas Child websites for free patterns (the puppet lady musings has some EXCELLENT patterns). YouTube can also be a good source for obscure patterns with tutorials, something to consider if you do need to Crochet a particular puppet! I recently learned to Crochet from YouTube after many years of trying and failing to learn! If you can knit, you really can Crochet. I would say that Crochet is much simpler that even Basic Knitting, it's understanding the mechanics of the task and establishing a correct yarn tension hold with the left hand (in my case). I also wanted to mention, if you need support in making puppets or gaining yarn, speak to local craft groups, yarnbombers and Church Craft groups. There are usually a number of people who would jump at the chance to help you
Praying that this helps you to achieve your task and that the puppets are a blessing to the children x

Sorry, also that Op Christmas Child also has a group on Ravelry you can join
Ravelry is good for patterns but as others have said, a Google/Pinterest search will also throw up some interesting results - sometimes Vintage knits from the Second World War (of which many have been archived and can be accessed free of charge online) which prioritise economy in the use of yarn or trimmings, an extra bonus in times like these!
