Crochet Crow Widower Pattern

Crochet Crow Widower Pattern (Gothic Amigurumi Doll | 4 Sizes | 28 cm Original)

He stands 11 inches tall in a top hat and long black coat, with a crow's beak where a face ought to be and claw hands that made someone choose not to use crocheted ones instead. The Crow Widower is the kind of figure that lives on a shelf year-round and makes every guest ask the same question: where did you get that? The answer, of course, is that you made him.
