Here’s a crochet pumpkin doll named Percy. This slightly spooky-looking pumpkin amigurumi doll is perfect for Halloween. It’s easy and quick to make. All the doll’s parts are made separately and attached. You’ll choose the body color for the pants, and then we’ll make the suspenders. This is how the pumpkin doll will be created. You can accessorize your pumpkin amigurumi doll with various accessories. A straw hat, for example, wouldn’t be a bad idea!
