The gentlest seasonal doll the studio makes, and why yellow is harder to crochet than it looks.
Four costumes
The Pooh Halloween crochet doll set is the familiar bear in four Halloween costumes. Each costume is its own doll, listed separately, so you choose the one you want rather than receiving a surprise.
The costume is part of the doll
Each outfit is worked over the body rather than made as a separate garment. There is nothing to pull off and nothing to lose, which matters more than it sounds for a doll going to a toddler.
Yellow shows everything
A yellow doll has nowhere to hide an uneven stitch — no pattern, no colour change, nothing to break the surface. The tension has to stay even across the whole body, which is why this simple-looking doll is not a quick one.
Order before October
Three weeks to make and a week in transit means a mid-October order does not arrive for Halloween. See how long a crochet doll takes before choosing a date.
Where they come from
The bear from the hundred-acre wood, in a Halloween costume. Nothing about the original is frightening and nothing about this version is either.
That is the whole appeal. It is the seasonal doll for children who are too young for anything spooky, and it is bought in October by people who want the date without the fright.
