LIST OF MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES:
Mr. Pumpkinhead Doll:
• Size 10 Crochet Cotton – Orange, green, dark yellow, black, white, brown, light
brown, cranberry (or any maroon-like red)
• Crochet Hooks – Size 7 (1.65mm) and Size 12 (1mm)
• Two 4-mm black eyes
• Three 3/16-inch black doll buttons
• Fiberfill stuffing
• Sewing needle, small blunt tapestry needle
• Small, sharp scissors
Cracker Jack the Crow:
• Size 20 Crochet Cotton – Black and dark yellow
• Size 10 crochet hook
GAGE: 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.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:
Hdc2tog: Yoh, insert hook into next st; YO and pull up a lp, YO and pull thru 2 lps on
hook; Yoh, insert hook into next st; YO and pull up a lp, YO and pull thru all lps on
hook.
Sc2tog: Sc the next 2 sc together (decrease): Insert the hook into the next st and pull up
a lp; insert the hook into the next st and pull up a lp; YO and pull thread through all 3
loops on hook.
Adjustable Ring: Leaving a tail at the beginning, wrap thread around index finger and
middle finger of left hand; anchor tail between middle finger and ring finger. Insert hook
underneath first strand of yarn, then catch second strand with hook and pull a loop up
underneath first strand. Remove fingers of left hand from ring and hold working end of
yarn. Chain 1, work number of stitches required into ring. Pull up a long loop, then,
grasping the stitches just made with right hand and tail with left, pull to tighten ring.
Insert hook into long loop and tighten back against hook. Making sure tail is to the back,
skip ch-1 and continue working pattern.
Weaving/hiding loose thread ends: When making the bear, you can hide the loose
ends by pulling them to the inside of the piece with a tapestry needle. Pass the needle
through the piece 2 or 3 times to anchor the thread end (always go in and come out
between stitches, being careful not to catch any fabric), and then pull the thread taut, and
clip close to the surface so that it disappears inside.
For other pattern pieces, it’s best to weave all loose ends as you finish each piece. If you
can’t hide the beginning tail by working over it for a few stitches, leave a tail that is long
enough to enable you to thread it onto a needle to weave it. When you fasten off, always
leave a tail that is long enough to thread onto a needle and weave. To weave: Thread the
tail onto a needle. Working on the WS of the piece and beginning directly beneath the
place where you fastened off, insert the needle underneath and through the upper loops of
fabric for a length of 4 or 5 stitches, and then turn and repeat through 2 or 3 of the same
stitches in the opposite direction.

COMPARISON BETWEEN PERLE COTTON AND CROCHET COTTON:
Perle Size Crochet Size
3 5
5 10
8 20
12 30
16 40 – 50
Check for Comparison to Perle Cotton: Wrap the thread you want to use around a ruler, with each
thread wrap touching the last wrap. The number of wraps that fit inside ¼ inch (.6 cm) is the
equivalent size to perle cotton. For instance, if your thread wraps around 12 times, then it is equivalent
to size 12 perle cotton.
Check for Comparison to Crochet Cotton: Wrap the thread you want to use around a ruler, with
each thread wrap touching the last wrap. The number of wraps that fit inside ½ inch (1.3 cm) is the
equivalent size to crochet cotton. For instance, if your thread wraps around 30 times, then it is
equivalent to size 30 crochet cotton.
MR. PUMPKIN HEAD DOLL

1. Using orange and the size 7 (1.65mm) hook, begin with an adjustable ring and make 6
sc in ring, OR ch 2 with orange, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook; do not join. Place a 3-inch

FACIAL FEATURES:
First you must find the bottom center of the face. With the RS of the face piece facing
you, count 5 sc to the right of the st where you fastened off. Mark this sc with a pin or a
piece of yarn. The 4 sc between the last st and your marker will be the top of the neck of
your doll, and therefore the center bottom of the face is the center point of these 4 sc.
NOSE: The nose is created first so that you can see where
the eyes should be located. With dark brown size 10
thread, or 3 strands of dark brown embroidery floss,
embroider the nose in the center of the face. The nose
should be a long, thin triangle, about ½-inch long. (Note
that with the head facing you, the center bottom of the head
will be 2 sc to the right of the last sl st on rnd 9.) Begin the
top of the nose triangle 2 rnds above the center opening of the face, straight up from the
center point. The bottom of the nose should be 2 rnds below the center opening of the
face. Make the outline triangle first, and then fill it in with satin stitch. Alternately, you
can cut a triangle from felt and glue or sew it onto the face.
EYES: (Make 2)
1. Make an adjustable ring (see Special Instructions) with white size 10 thread using a
size 12 (1mm) hook, make 8 sc in ring; OR ch 2, 8 sc in 2nd ch from hook; do not join.

10 thread or 3 strands of brown floss, embroider chain stitches around and very close
to the white circle. Insert purchased 4mm eye into the center of the white circle and
secure to back of face. Repeat with 2nd
eye.

mouth to the other, going over the top of the vertical straight stitches.
• With red size 10 thread, embroider a line of chain stitches around and very close to
the mouth.
Join Head Front to Back:
Place the 2 pieces of head WS together with last sl st on row 9 of front of the head being
4 sc apart from the last sl st on rnd 9 of the back. Begin with front of head facing you
and stitch the 2 pieces together, sewing through the inside lps of the stitches of rnd 9 on
both pieces, as follows: *Insert the needle from front to back into the inside lp on the
front of the head, continue through the inside lp on the back of the head. Turn, and insert
the needle from back to front through the inside lp on the back of the head, continue
through the inside lp on the front of the head. Turn and** Continue working from * to **
