Second Arm
Turn and work on opposite side beginning at edge. Attach yarn with a sc. Repeat as for first arm.
Head
In the 19 unworked sts between arms, begin by attaching yarn with a sc in first unworked stitch next to an arm.
Row 1: Work sc across to next arm, turn. (19sc)
Row 2 - 11: Ch 1, work sc across, turn.
Row 12: Ch 1, sc in first 4 sts, then using Front Loops Only dc in next 3 sts, sc in Both Loops in next 4 sts, then using Front Loops Only dc in next 3 sts, sc in last 4 sts, turn.
Row 13: Ch 1, sc in first 4 sts, sc in the unused loops from previous row and continue to sc across row. Push dc sts out of your way.
Row 14: Ch 1, sc in each sc across, pull the dc sts down out of the way--do not work them.

Rows 20 - 25: Work on dec at beg and end of each row.
Fasten off.
The puppet is made from 2 pieces of identical shape. When making the 2nd piece you only change the head by leaving off the eyes. Do this by working 19 rows of sc instead of following rows 12 - 14. Otherwise it is the same.
Put the 2 pieces together with RS facing out and work sc evenly around edges to join. Be sure to leave an opening at bottom for your hand.
