Learn to crochet your very own pumpkin doll. The legs and arms are worked in the back loops only.
You’ve heard of the Muffin Man right? Well, this here is the Pumpkin Man. He is huggable and loveable and super easy to crochet. It is an advanced crochet pattern but don’t worry I’ve included a link to Crochet 101 on YouTube by The Art of Crochet by Teresa.
This pattern is open to your creativity. Try a different yarn, add a cone hat, how about a little pair of pants or some straw hair? If you decide to use this pattern leave me a note, I’d love to see your finished product.
