You will be crocheting directly
into the head. (HINT: To start, I hold the head with my left hand, row 7 facing down toward my palm and insert my hook in the stitches between rows 6 and 5 from the bottom, and with a slip knot in the yellow (color choice b), I pull the slip knot through and sc from there entering the stitches around as evenly as I can.)

Row 1: (b) slpst about 6 stitches between rows 6 and 5 all the way around.

Row 2-3: (a) 2 sc in each slpst around. (12)

Row 4: (b) sc in each st (12)

Row 5-6: (a) sc in each st (12)

Row 7: (b) sc in each st (12)

Row 8: (a) sc in each st (12)

Row9: slst in each. Slst in first st, chain 5 (12)

Row (will create a tighter fitting and will prevent the puppet from falling off of a small finger as well as still fitting an adult. The chain will create the stinger. You can add a knot to the end if desired.

Wings:

Color choice (c) Make 2

Magic ring (you will not be pulling the magic ring tight, instead, this will create a ½ round.

6 dc, 1 sc. (7)

Leave long tails, they will be used to attach.

Assembly:

Attach wings using tails. Place in line with stinger pointing up.

Stitch on the eyes and a great big smile.

You can add antenna but I didn’t.

This pattern was adapted from another pattern that I created
and has not been tested. The
pattern only deviates from the original by the addition of rows 3 and 6. I was told that the body was too short
for an adult finger. So you can pick.

Hope your little ones enjoy it as much as my mine. Please comment with a picture of your creation.
