Crochet Scarecrow Applique Pattern
There is no video tutorial for this scarecrow, but the witch applique pattern is the exact pattern except the colors and the nose for the scarecrow is a triangle shape. You can find the video tutorial for that here.
Materials
Worsted weight yarn in taupe, brown, yellow, cream, orange
6mm safety eyes

Notes
Beginning chain does not count as a stitch.
Loop stitch: (hold working yarn around index finger) insert hook into st, grab the yarn from behind the index finger as well as the yarn in front of the index finger, pull up a loop (at this point you can pull the working yarn to make the loop smaller or pull the loop to make it bigger), yarn over, pull through all loops on hook.
