Three witches and the people who woke them

The Hocus Pocus crochet doll set covers both halves of the story. The witches — Winifred, Sarah and Mary — and the mortals: Max Dennison, Dani Dennison, Allison, Billy Butcherson, and Thackery Binx as the black cat.

The three sisters are what make this set: green, purple and red, each with a different collar and a different hairline, so they read as sisters without being three copies of one doll. The cat is the small one people add at the end.

Autumn on a shelf

This is a seasonal doll that behaves like a permanent one. The colours are deep rather than novelty-orange, so the set stays on display after October. Each doll is handmade to order.

Also for autumn: the Nightmare Before Christmas crochet doll set. More in seasonal crochet dolls.
