Free muppet-type puppet patterns
(If you’re looking for patterns for other puppet types, please use the menu to the right and select the ‘Free patterns’ category; you’ll find more lists there)
I will be adding to this list as I find more patterns. Please note that these patterns come free courtesy of the credited people; please respect their wishes for creditation (if requested) if you publish the link elsewhere.

Please also read my post on why there are no puppet patterns for Sesame St/Muppet characters and on Avenue Q characters. Also, see the post on mouth puppet patterns. And now you can read an article dispelling some myths on free patterns. Why so few free puppet patterns? Find the answer here. Read about what’s the difference between a muppet and a puppet, or my review of a book on making muppet-types.
