This Edgar Allan Poe ami is packed with personality. He’s perfect for Halloween - or if you’re me, for every darn day of the year, since he looks great just chilling on a bookshelf, with or without a set of his literary works nearby.

The pattern is clear and straightforward, with more than a dozen pics and the standard array of stitches: Sc, HDC, DC, single crochet decrease (2sctog). There is one color change and absolutely nothing scary or tricksy. (We swears it.)

Additional materials include three white buttons, safety eyes, and white embroidery thread.
