Pattern Description:

This is an original crochet pattern for a raggedy-type character doll in the primitive style. Mr. Pumpkinhead is dressed in patched knickers with suspenders, and funky lace-up boots with striped socks. His friend, Crackerjack the Crow, sits on his shoulder as they watch the world go by together. Aren't they a riot?

The pattern makes a 13 inch doll when you use DK weight yarn and a C (2.75mm) hook, and a 2 inch crow made from size 10 crochet thread and a size 7 (1.65mm). You may vary the size of the doll by changing the size of hooks and thread that you use to crochet him. This cute duo was designed with lots of fun detail. They're not hard to make, and the pattern is clearly written, but you will need to know how to crochet.

The pattern book contains 22 pages of instructions and color photos.

Gauge:

Gage is not important as long as the same size thread and hook are used for all
the pattern pieces. However, since tension can vary in different circumstances, it is
suggested that when making two pieces that must be the same, such as arms and legs, that
you complete both in one sitting.
