Sooty Christmas Pals // Knitting Pattern
Sooty and his friends Soo and Sweep are wearing their favourite Christmas outfits to put on a festive puppet show!
Each puppet is knitted flat and seamed. The costumes are knitted separately and attached after the work has been finished. Only the head is stuffed, leaving the body and the arms free for your hands.
