Grandma Perkins Easy Finger Tube Moustache

Happy Father’s Day!

Awhile back I saw a knit finger moustache on the web.

I could not find any crocheted ones.

So I made my own.

Halloween will be here before you know it.

And it’s a quick costume accessory.

Everyone should have a moustache.

Slip it on your finger and put it under your nose.

Very Silly!

It is a very easy pattern.

It can be made in about half an hour. 

Size: Fits an adult finger

Materials:

Caron Simply Soft (WW Med yarn):

Skin Color ~14 yds 

Moustache Color ~ 3 yds
