This is supposed to be a Halloween witch!

Oh was Winnie the one who wore high heeled shoes?Yes this could be easily be made with black wool instead, or even black hair- but could be given to little kids as a 'baby witch' or 'trainee witch' perhaps? Maybe that was the idea behind it?🤔

I will show this to my DD later, maybe she can adapt it to a crochet one and make it for the youngest nieces.She even writes her own crochet patterns.I cant pick up crochet at all, but i do knit.

Today's little ones need a dose of Baba Yaga! For those who weren't read her blood curdling tales at bedtime, she was a witch in Russian folklore given to frying and eating small children with her iron teeth. Just the thing to send you off to a peaceful sleep. My book even had a picture of her as if my imagination didn't conjure up enough horrors.

I think she's supposed to be a child trick-or-treater with a pumpkin shaped bucket for treats?
She's very cute!

Perfect description and probably correct too. She is adorable. I really should start knitting again, I love knitting but have not done any since 2014 when my late husband died. Difficult to sit and knit. I prefer to be busy or to be working on the Mac.

much better to have a good witch.. she's very sweet

Don’t do Halloween…what’s fun about death ?
It’s totally sick! People are so easily brainwashed …

It’s not ‘sick’. As far as my Gdcs are concerned, it’s just a really fun day, when they dress up to go trick-or-treating and get sweets. They don’t connect it with death at all.

To DDs it was the same. Last year Gdd1 was appalled that some close friends weren’t allowed to go T-or-Ting - not because of any moral or religious objections, but because their mother couldn’t be bothered to help with dressing up, or provide sweets for other children.
Gdd1 said, ‘Not allowed!! When it’s the most exciting day in the whole entire year except for Christmas! 🎃

Did she live, or fly in a pestle and mortar?

Perhaps she ground up the children in a pestle and mortar?

Wish I could knit - so cute! ❤️🧙🏻

Older daughter fearless around all things Halloween, younger daughter terrified of everything so this would have been a useful little toy.

Maybe a bit more witch like in black, but I think it's cute! Perhaps find a pattern for a cat, cauldron and broom stick too.

I think she is lovely

I do too. Just right for a toddler before they get into the scary stuff.

The scary stuff should go back to America where it came from. Much more fun "snatch apple night" and "apple bobbing" that we had when I was a child

The pattern does say she’s a Halloween witch!

Must say that even when much littler my Gdd1 would have scorned any witch outfit that wasn’t black! I had to make her one when she was 5 (nothing in the shops to buy in Oman) inc. the pointy hat and ‘brooming’ stick, as she called it. 🎃

This was the original cover of the book our youngest enjoyed Nannan2 - she does have small heels but also very big buckles.

DeeDe - I don't like "trick or treating" but the concept of dying and rising again, good triumphant over evil and acknowledgeing and overcoming darkness are not exactly new ideas!

I can't stand Halloween but I think she's adorable!

Witches are about herbs, healing and the strength and goodness of nature, and about not harming others. They're not evil. Even Halloween itself wasn't originally meant to be about evil and fear.

She did fly in a pestle and mortar! I'm so pleased someone else remembers her. Most people give me blank looks of I mention Baba Yaga. [grin}

I don’t like Halloween either and definitely do not believe in trick or treating
That little witch is gorgeous don’t make it a scary one it’s lovely as it is

I think she's very, very cute and as others have said a changing the colours to darker ones could make her a 'wicked' witch.

I recently found my old witch's hat in the attic. It was made mainly of felt and cardboard and worn when we had our Halloween parties in the garden for the children (they never did trick-or-treating either). I remember dying a sheet black to make my dress and cloak (and wearing black thermals underneath - November is cold!). The party spread over three gardens and my neighbours dressed up too, as did all our children. Sadly 40 years later the hat is mouldy and the cardboard disintegrating 🥲

She looks sweet!

She must be a white witch. 🙂

I don't believe in Halloween, why celebrate something that's so dark ? People think it's harmless and a bit of fun I totally disagree . We should be teaching our children the beauty of light and Jesus Christ
