Mrs. Witch

Another villager has entered the Halloween town. Mrs. Witch comes from the same crochet pattern set as Frankenstein which you can purchase here.

I accidently switched the blue colors for the witch and decided I wasn't going to redo. I was ok with the contrast. I did switch to the darker color for her hat though.

Speaking of the hat, that was the most challenging part of the project. It might have been that it was later in the evening when I was working on it but I had trouble getting the hat to work quite right. I do like it but it didn't quite get the hat shape it was designed to have. Perhaps I'll have better luck another time.

I love the hair design for this villager and while you can't see it because I sewed the hat on before taking a picture she has an adorable bun on the top of her head that was easy to make and attach. I could see making this doll again as a different character.

Amigurumi Witch

This is the last new pattern I will be making from Gourmet Crochet's Monster Mash Amigurumi for this Halloween season. There are two more patterns in the book a spider which I tried and could not make look like a spider despite repeated attempts and a cat which for the longest time I thought was a mouse. I may try the cat/mouse pattern at a later date, but I still have to create multiple patterns of the other items from this book before Halloween and I have not even touched on Thanksgiving yet.

I finally fixed the shoe problem with this doll, but realized hair had to be added to the hat prior to sewing it on not after, so my story is she her hair is all under the hat tucked up nice and neatly. Either that or she's shaved her head and not tied to the conventions of hair. I do know I am not destroying the hat or the head pulling them off to add the hair. I will make sure the next one has hair. I also realized when I made the female vampire I added a few rows to her dress. I does pay to write down your changes when you make them.
