Day Dreams Custom Sewing & Hand-
Inspired by a similar scarf with owls, I played
around with making mittens from the popular Pixar,
“Minions” and kept going with a few other friendly
faces!
Designed to add to the scarf as an applique or mitten
(dual puppet), these little friends work up in no time
for a super fun and warm treat for the little ones.
Materials: Scrap yarn*, polyfil, tapestry needle, size
E crochet hook. *Black, Yellow, White, Grey, Blue
Gauge: N/A
Skill Level: Intermediate—Advanced
** You will need to make a 4” x 38-46” scarf**
I have found you can make puppet mittens with
most animal or insect shapes. Just a few examples
are to the left….
This is a free pattern inspired by a free puppet
scarf from Lion Brand Yarns.
In no way have instructions been reproduced
from any other pattern.
If there are similarities between this and another
pattern, this is strictly by accident and should be
taken as such; however it is doubtful the pattern
instructions will be exactly or similar to another.
Abbreviations:
Sc—single crochet
Hdc-half double crochet
Dc– double crochet
ch– chain
sp-space
SST-slip stitch
