Courtesy Pattern : CP25D - DumDum's Halloween Mod


The Halloween LoveBug Mod

Materials :

Red Heart® Classic® WW 4-Ply Yarn in 0672 Spring Green, 0245 Orange and 0336 Warm Brown
Size E4/3.50 Crochet Hook (US) 
Filling for Plushies (fiberfil or similar)
6mm Black Plastic Beads for Eyes
DumDum Lollipops (or similar product)
Yarn Needle for Sewing

*Special Notation(s):
- This pattern is worked in continuous rounds unless otherwise noted.  Stuff your piece as you work as there are NO “stuff here” indicators present within the pattern instructions.
- Only the Head/Body of this project are stuffed with filling; all other sections remain unstuffed.
- Eyes are placed at approximately Rnd 8 and spaced 4 sts apart on Head - however, you may wish to place them upon completion based on your crocheting techniques and personal preferences.Creating the sections of the "Pumpkin Head" is optional - however, place eyes, stem and any additional little touches BEFORE you attempt to create the divots with long stitches.
- The Vines by the Stem are merely scraps of Spring Green, unwound, reducing the 4 ply yarn to 4 individual strands - then given a good twist and allowing them to lay as they wish.

I made several of these a number of years ago. Some ended up as gifts, some were able to continue to live with me. Recently my youngest daughter got married and would like (another) one for her apartment. So glad you still have this pattern up and running- thank you!
