Copyright Alisha Simmons (chiscrochetcrazy) Sept 25, 2006 Please do not sell this pattern this is my original pattern.Do not sell the finished items.Do not claim this as your own design.

Frank Jr. W/Worsted weight yarn in Black & Green I used Simply Soft for the sample & an F hook if using Red Heart you can use a G hook

Abbreviations : ar : around
rep : repeat
fr : from
ch: chain
rw: row or round

Note: I don’t give stitch counts they don’t really matter so much except at the starting few rws. When I say stitch in remaining stitches that just means you may have an extra few stitches after you do your rep ar if you have left over stitches that won’t allow you to finish doing the rep just sc into those extras. Also you should always mark your rounds.

I used felt pieces for eyes

I Want My Mummy W/ Gray make Frank Jr. pattern in all gray .You do not need to stuff this as full as you did Frank Jr. Using white or off white or a mix of the two Ch 100, Dc in 3rd ch from hook and in each ch. Fasten off leaving tail a little longer than this piece measures for sewing to body. Make as many of these strips at different lengths as needed to cover the Mummy like you’d like. I made the eyes out of white felt & painted on a big black center to peak through the wrapping. Sew the strips on but leave little pieces at the beginning & end loose. Sew these strips to body as desired. You could also use some gray makeup lightly rubbed on these pieces to make it look older. Enjoy : )

My Shop

Fuzzy Feet Boutique
The Etsy shop is doing much better this week yeh. The more patterns I put up the better it gets. I also have a custom order to make some things.Keep checking back as I'm constantly designing. Who knows what I'll come up with next. Even if I start with 1 thing in mind it often turns into something else entirely.

Longhorn , Horse etc..




So I just put a new pattern in my shop today Poco the Longhorn named after 1 of my chihuahuas. The pattern can also be used to make a Horse. This one was my hubby's idea & I think it turned out really cute.
I should be posting a new pattern in the next few days another Halloween one. I love Halloween not sure why maybe my love for vampires & ghost stories. It's the most fun holiday to decorate for.
