Additional Information:
Difficulty: Experienced
• Size
This vampire measures 17.5″ from the shoes to the tip of the head. This pattern is pretty big and takes time, but it’s well worth it!
• Getting started
We start with the legs and crochet then together, which then forms the body and head. All are one piece. We then make the face, hair, arms, and clothes!
Feet: (Make 2)
In Brown
To start the vampire we first create his feet. The foot then leads into the leg. We make one more foot that leads into the leg and crochet both legs together. This forms the bottom of the hips, then leads into the body, and the head. The legs to the head are all one continuous piece.
We work the shoe in a round. We first start by making a chain and work entirely around the chain in a round, rather than turning it like a row.
Make one leg first, then create the second

Hands/Arms:
We start the hands by creating each individual finger. We then crochet the fingers together, this will form the hand. The hand then leads into the arm as one continuous piece.
NOTE: Demo pictures in this pattern show a skin color. This is because it shows up on the camera easier than a grey/white.
NOTE: Make all fingers and the entire arm using a 3mm hook. Change back to a 4mm hook for all other parts of the pattern.
Thumb: (Make 1 per arm, Make this first)
