Large Lavender Live Hand

The Large Lavender Live Hand Anything Muppet is a large, round-headed, lavender live hand puppet. Unlike several of the regular Anything Muppet patterns, which debuted during the first season of Sesame Street, this pattern was first used during the second season and has been used regularly ever since.

Among the most famous examples of Muppets made from the Large Lavender Live Hand pattern are Count von Count, The Amazing Mumford, Forgetful Jones, Biff and Harvey Kneeslapper.
