scarecrow knitting pattern

greentiger

Does anyone have a copy of a knitting pattern for a scarecrow that they would be willing to share?

I had a very old Jean Greenhowe pattern (from 80s I think)fro woman's weekly, think, that I hadnt used in years, so in a long needed clear out, out it went.

Of course, you know what's coming next -Today my dil asked me if I could knit a scarecrow for the nursery where she teaches!

Thanks for reading this. I have my fingers crossed.

I have the Macscarecrow pattern book but they look like people in kilts not really scarecrows. You could have a look on the Jean Greenhowe page and see if its what you want and let me know.

andymandy I've seen them - that would be fine (being Scottish, ha ha). Thank you.

Thanks pinksteps, that was the one I had. I'm going to have a go at andymandy's tartan one for a wee change. They look like fun!

I really don't understand why it got tossed, because I kept other Jean Greenhowe patterns!

If you get stuck and can't get it - I know my mum has both the clown and scarecrow book at her house (because she's knitted about four of them for my daughters - no room for the kids in the bed with all the cuddlies!) and I'm up there in a couple of weeks so could see if I could grab a copy then.

thanks dizziblonde, I'll keep that in mind, but I think coxy and andymandy have me sorted!
