Halloween 2024 scarf 🥴🤣
I love the colours on this one!
Haha, woo!
Great to hear about the doll again! I was thinking about it the other day (Is that creepy? Thinking about internet strangers' knitting projects?). You're doing great and it's most probably doable until next week, depending on what else you have on your plate. And as long as the baby hasn't watched certain horror films yet, the "creepiness" shouldn't be a problem either :)
All the best for your friend!!
It's definitely doable, honestly the thing is so tiny the only reason it's taken this long is I had Halloween stuff to do first. This is also round two because the first pink I bought was too light (the pink is by request, it's not a colour I generally own).
Slightly dreading the part where I have to make a face that doesn't look like it's staring into the very depth of the owner's soul, but I'll do my best!
The face on that pattern (that's incredible that you found the original!) Reads cute clown, not creepy clown. I think you'll rock it. If you're doubting yourself, know that people find baby proportions cute, which means bigger eyes, slightly further apart and further down on the head (I know, it sounds like I'm kinda describing pennywise from the most recent IT films but trust me).
Good luck to your friend!
Added the face today. I tried to implement your tips but wow, stitching a face on is a lot harder than it sounds 😅
I believe you! That's why I like safety eyes with silly little u-shaped smiles. But the stitching will definitely last a lot longer (and repair easier if needed).
I like to put pins where I think the eyes should go before I either stitch or safety eyes so that I can move them around until they look right
