It’s been four years now since I designed this adorable not-so-scary Scarecrow who is perfect for the fall, Halloween, or as your little friend from favourite movies and musicals (think Wizard of Oz and Wicked)! Whether this little guy helps decorate your house or accompanies your little ones as they trick-or-treat, he is sure to bring a smile to people’s faces! This pattern first appeared in Craftzine and I am pleased to now present the pattern on my blog! Be sure to follow along with my step-by-step blog post and photo tutorial HERE!
