Little by little, you can start thinking about fall decorations. Maybe you’ll get started on them this weekend?
Scarecrow Victor
feels just as at home on your balcony as on the windowsill. Victor is 35 cm tall (without the stick) and can be crocheted from lots of colorful leftover yarn. You’re sure to have some at home.
I used:
Catania cotton (125 m / 50 g), namely:
- 10 g orange (jaffa 0189)
- 10 g green (moss 0412)
- 10 g brown (maroon 0157)
- 20 g red (signal red 0115)
- leftover yellow (gold 0249)also:
- 2.5 mm crochet hook
- 1 yarn needle
- 1 round dowel, diameter 7–10 mm, l = 50 cm
- 4 craft sticks 150 x 20 mm
- 50 g natural raffia, golden yellow
- a little craft stuffing
- a small leftover piece of black felt
- sewing thread
- craft glue or wood glue
- 1 black half pearl; diameter approx. 7 mm
- possibly hot glue gun and hot glue
Squirrel Kiki
will soon start building up a winter stash of nuts and acorns.
Kiki is about 14 cm tall and was made from the following materials:
- cotton, 125 m / 50 g (e.g. Schachenmayr Catania) in reddish brown (marsala)
- leftover cotton in black, dark brown, light brown
- fringe yarn, approx. 85 m / 50 g in reddish brown (e.g. Peppina by Lana Grossa)
- crochet hook size 2.5
- safety eyes or sew-on eyes (diameter approx. 0.8 cm)
- strong black thread
- 1 thick yarn needle for sewing together
- 1 sharp needle for embroidering the nose and claws
- polyester stuffing
- possibly 1 Kinder Surprise egg capsule, sand
Hedgehog Ingo
is Kiki’s best friend. He is crocheted from cuddly soft chenille yarn, and even his spines are soft and don’t prick at all!
To crochet him as shown in the picture, you’ll need:
- approx. 20 g Bohème Velvet by GoHandmade (190 m / 50 g; color Vintage Curry)
- approx. 25 g Brazilia by Schachenmayr (90 m / 50 g; color Camouflage 00123)
- leftover black cotton yarn for embroidering the snout and claws
- 2.5 mm crochet hook
- 3.0 mm crochet hook
- stuffing
- 2 black half pearls, diameter 10 mm
- hot glue or craft glue
