My Review of the Creepigurumi Book
Creepigurumi by Soledad Adirana del Pilar Iglesias Silva is a wonderfully spooky collection of 14 crochet creatures with a creepy, but cute twist. From the grim reaper to a stitched-up creepy rabbit, each pattern has a touch of dark whimsy that's perfect for Halloween, or year-round if you love the eerie aesthetic.

I haven't made La Catrina myself, but I'm sharing the full pattern here on the blog so you can get a feel for the author's style. While her pattern structure differs slightly from mine, it's clear, detailed, and easy to navigate. Like Gnomigurumi, the patterns in this book involve multiple small parts and some assembly, so they're best suited for crocheters who are comfortable with the basics and enjoy taking their time to bring unique characters to life.
