Halloween is over. It’s time to gear up for Christmas, or to just make super cute stuffed dolls because it is fun. Special bonus, he is not Fra-gee-lay.

Here’s Ralphie in his bunny suit because embarrassment is always the best. Remember he hasn’t been completely tested. If you post pictures use #drunkenauntwendy so I can find it. Make sure you click around my site to see all the fun patterns.

Special Stitches
Puff Stitch – (Insert hook, pull up a loop) repeat 3 times. 5 loops on hook. Yarn over and pull through all loops. Push the stitch out to make a bump on the right side of the fabric.

Parentheses indicate a repeat. Repeat the stitches in the parentheses for the number of times indicated.

The bracketed number [] is the number of stitches at the end of each row.

I spread my increases out so there isn’t a seam on the finished piece. If you do not like this method, you can do regular increases.

Bride of Frankenstein – Free Pattern

Drunken Aunt Wendy Bride of Frankenstein Crochet

Halloween is almost upon us. I’m done with the mini-monsters and I will be moving on to Mythical Creatures for an online contest. I’m still typing up the patterns on a regular basis. I’ll try to keep to my current schedule and post them regularly.

I’m also teaching myself how to make soap. It was a project with the kids that I am expanding on.

img_3403
Ohio State Soap is a must in my area
img_3397
Christmas Jello soap.

img_3392
Super cute owl soap.
img_3382
First soaps with the kids.

The goat’s milk soap doesn’t take the colors as well. I’m not sure whether I like the goat’s milk vs. the glycerin that is clearer so the colors are brighter. I am also adding scents, but very lightly as I don’t like strong scents.

Here’s your Bride of Frankenstein Pattern. Again it hasn’t been tested. Join the mailing list for exclusive content. Use #drunkenauntwendy if you make it so I can find it and give you crochet love.

Beetlejuice – Free Pattern

Drunken Aunt Wendy Crocheted Beetlejuice pattern

He’s the ghost with the most. Did everyone else love this movie as much as I did? And the cartoon? Sometimes I sing Day-O out of nowhere. People might think I’m a bit nuts.

You can’t really tell from this picture, but I gave him glow in the dark teeth. At night he is spooky, but awesome.

If it is your first time visiting my site, join my mailing list for exclusive content, like Chucky. Also, make sure to look around and check out the other patterns. Many haven’t been tested, so let me know if there are problems. There are several other mini-monsters: Freddy, Samara, Jason, Twisty, and Billy.

Now, “Let’s turn on the juice and see what shakes loose.”

Use #drunkenauntwendy if you make him. I would love to see your work.

If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen all my mini-monsters. I love scary movies. I love October because it ends with Halloween. I’ve been having a lot fun with these guys. I’ve made 10 that will be typed up and make it onto the blog. Samara, Twisty, Jason, Beetlejuice, the Babadook and Freddy Krueger are already up.

The movie series Saw pits the victims against elaborately constructed “Games” to make them learn the value of life. These games are often introduced by a ventriloquist puppet.
