This is the top of my kitchen hutch where I like to decorate for the seasons. This year I went through all my Fall decorations and got rid of stuff that I don't plan on using any more. Some of the stuff I have had for 12 years or more. After I put this display up, it looked like something was missing. My son mentioned buying a scarecrow. I had a different thought in mind. I was going to make one.
I had my crochet hooks out already from another project I was working on so I decided to check my yarn stash to see if there were any colors I could use to make a crochet scarecrow. These are the colors I picked out that I wanted to use.
The hardest part was coming up with a crochet pattern that even resembled a scarecrow. I know I wanted to make a girl scarecrow. I wanted her to have coveralls on and I wanted her to have pigtails.
After a few days I had the basic pattern written. The fun part was adding all the details. I used a fringe technique to make her straw hands and feet. I braided her hair for the pigtails. I glued on tiny black beads for her eyes. A heart shape button was used for her nose. Black yarn was used for her mouth. Then I just tied some orange yarn bows on her pigtails. Here is what she looks like.

Now my Fall display on my hutch is complete.
Have a great week!
