Pumpkins make me happy! I don't know if I love pumpkins because they remind me of autumn, or if I love autumn because of all the pumpkins. Anyway, I've always loved scarecrows that have pumpkins for heads, so I decided to make a pair of scarecrow dolls. My scarecrows are dressed a little better than the typical scarecrow I think. I used a pattern by June Gilbank (
http://www.planetjune.com/blog/free-crochet-patterns/pumpkin/) to make the heads, but I messed it up and forgot to crochet in the back loops only. Oops! Oh well, I still like how they looked, so I decided to use them anyway.
They can sit on their own, but I had to prop them against my coffee cup to get them to stand for their portraits. I think her head looks a bit more like an orange instead of a pumpkin, but I can't decide if it's because of the shape or because of the lighter orange yarn that I used for her head. Well, I still like her either way! And just because I love her stockings so much, here is a peak up her dress!
Tell me what you guys think!
Thanks!
So Cute!!! I love Autumn and Pumpkins and just all the colors of fall and these are great! I must say the Mrs. is my favorite(probably because of the colors, the dress, and stockings are awesome!)
