Moomins - anti scratch gloves for babies FREE PATTERN

 Moomins - anti scratch gloves for infants. You can also use them as little hand-puppets later on...

 Let me guess after my few last posts You all thought I will not publish free patterns anymore.... You could not be more wrong :) I will still post some of my patterns free. I have to make some of them paid to make money for yarn and also I am hoping to make this little hobby of mine full time job. Will I make it? Stay with me and see :)

I made those gloves for my second son Leon, here he is:

Can You see how beautiful he looks without this ugly scratch marks on his face :) That is thanks to Moomin and his fiance Snorkmaiden (in Poland she is called "panna Migotka"). Do I even have to say I love moomins it's one of those tales You remember Your entire life. It's so original and lovely and scary and creepy all at the same time. What is there not to love, maybe just The Groke (Buka) brrr....
