Meet Crochet Barrel

We met him first in Nightmare Before Christmas as one of the evil little henchmen of the Mr. Oggie Boogie man. See him now as you've never seen him before-crocheted!

When I got this order I knew that it was going to be a challenge. I looked at the picture included with the requested and knew I had to try it.
I created the pattern and worked for hours on his mask and hair. I even made him a lollipop. :)

He may very well be the only crochet Barrel out there. I did a google search and couldn't find anything like him. :) It's good to know I've made something truly unique.

I listened to "kidnap the sandy claus" for hours for inspiration.

One of my friends said it looked like "joker had a baby." To me that's a compliment. :D I didn't want him to look too cutsie.

I have another pattern style for him I want to try, but it will have to wait until after the holidays since I have so many orders. I really had fun creating his pattern though!

He just wants to hug you-don't you trust him? ;)

We spent so much time together-I can't believe he's off to his new home this weekend!

Super Mushroom Keychain & one Special Order

Feeling small & like you're getting kicked around?

Wish you were bigger so you could squish your enemies?

Why not try this little guy! He's super & he'll help you grow big enough to squish any goomba!

Best part is now you can take him anywhere!

Double the growing power!

The keychains I use are heavy duty and easy to latch onto purses, backpacks, or whatever you want to hang them from.


You can see how the key chain opens up. Good news for anyone with long nails!

This is a heavy duty key chain that is securely stitched into the mushroom.

Attaches easily as shown here. Looks great on backpacks!

What? Everyone has a bottom. ;)

SPECIAL ORDER:

I recently got a special order asking if I could make Barrell from Nightmare Before Christmas. I'm in the process of coming up with a pattern for him. I can't wait to see how he turns out! I love creating new patterns that have never been done before. I looked all over the internet to see if anyone had made him, and it seems that no one has-I may be the first! :D
