My sister loves the Potter Puppet Pals. So for Christmas (I know, I'm so behind in my posting!) I crocheted her a Voldemort! He turned out so cute and not evil looking that we have re-named him Voldy!
He's not a puppet but she loves him! So much so that she now wants an entire cast of crochet characters! Even those not in the puppet pals - she loves Malfoy!
A new friend for Voldy has been completed...
Dumbles!
Pattern!This pattern can be used to make any of the Potter Puppet Pals. The colour of yarn used to make the pieces and the embroidered embellishments are what makes them different.
