Whether you are decorating your home for the autumn season or crafting gifts for friends, this pattern was designed from the ground up for relaxation and clean, crisp stitch definition.

Important Pattern Notes
- Worked in two main flat panels (front and back) from the boots up through pants, jacket, face, and jagged hair.
- Color-work Hair: The jagged black hair peaks use intarsia color-changing blocks so you don't have to carry black yarn behind green stitches.
- Embroider scars and mouth with black yarn before joining front and back panels.
- Neck bolts are crocheted separately in grey heather yarn and sewn securely onto neck sides during assembly.
