She swings by my entryway and every visitor stops to say hello to her
The oversized expressive eyes give her so much personality creepy and adorable at once
The sculpted hood with its long curved point and embroidered stars is pure gothic magic
The flowing cape and bell sleeves drape beautifully over the little hidden cone body
The tiny crochet hands peeking out of the bell sleeves are my favourite detail
The double layer swing seat is properly sturdy she sits perfectly without slumping
The mini bat candy corn and puffy star accessories finish the whole scene adorably
The face sculpting and embroidery guidance gave her the sweetest little nose and smile
The eye patch detail makes her look like the captain of a tiny ghost ship
At 12 inches tall she is a real presence on my shelf not a tiny trinket
Stitch counts throughout meant I never lost my place working the rounds
The step by step image guide made the swing assembly and doll attachment foolproof
Comfortable with basic amigurumi and this stretched me just enough without frustration
The hood drawstring and pom pom are such sweet finishing touches on the costume
Hung her on my front door with the tassels swaying she greets the trick or treaters
Made her in different colours as a gift for my gothic doll collecting friend she wept
Planning to swap her accessories for winter and spring so she can swing all year
The pattern support answered my question about the neck support the very same day
Already making a second doll in autumn colours so the swing never hangs empty after October
