南瓜人（鉤針）

The 60+ step-by-step photos made the fiddly parts so much easier, especially shaping the little pumpkin head. I finished him in two evenings and he's already sitting on my mantle.

The 60+ step-by-step photos made the trickier parts, like the little stem and leaf, actually click for me. Twelve pages sounds long but it's laid out so clearly I finished the whole guy in a weekend.

I've crocheted a lot of amigurumi and still got tripped up by the little stem on top — the schematics on page 7 cleared it right up. Twelve pages sounds long but it's all diagrams, so it actually moves fast. Mine's sitting on the shelf next to last year's pumpkin already.
