Introduction: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Crochet Puppet Doll
More by the author:
About: I graduated from Brigham Young University with a B.A. in English. I want to write children's novels. I'm a mother of 3 and home-school all of them. I am currently obsessed with learning to make cloth dolls.
This is an 18 inch tall hand puppet/doll, all made from crochet. I used a G hook and Red Heart yarn. The pattern comes from Kathleen Early's website, Yarn Arts: http://www.kathleenearly.com/ click "Patterns" on the left frame, then "Puppets" in the middle.
I made him for my 7-year-old son, who's loved the Turtles for years. I realize that the mask/weapons don't match in the picture, but Leo's swords looked a little the worse for play so I used the nunchuks for the pictures instead. I still need to make more masks and finish the rest of the weapons so my son can interchange which turtle he wants to play with. Maybe someday I'll make all 4 turtles, but this guy took a loooong time so it might be a while!

Thank you for the nice comment! If you'll read the last paragraph in the description, I know that the weapons don't match...but when I took the picture the other weapon was a little destroyed, so that's why I used the ones I did.

I've been so sick the last couple days that I'm really interested in learning. Good to know it's not too hard, for you at least :)

I'm sorry you're sick. Your local library should have tons of crocheting books, and there are hundreds of websites on the internet with free lessons. Even YouTube has lots of crochet technique videos. Good luck and get well soon!

Didn't read the instructable. Just saw it in the "Related" portion at the bottom of another instructable. All I'm going to say is I thought it said "Crotch Puppet", which peaked my interest. I was dissapointed.

Thanks for the comments, and for everyone who commented on this before, I'm so sorry I accidentally deleted it the first time! I entered another contest, then read the rules and realized it didn't at all fit, so I tried to delete from the contest and ended up deleting the whole thing. So sorry about that and thanks for your comments! I'm still new to this Instructables thing. :)
