Happy Wednesday my fellow crafters!
Say hello to Maple, the sweetest little squirrel ready to scamper into your crochet queue just in time for fall! With her tall, curved tail and cozy autumn charm, she’s the perfect project to ease into the new season.
This is an easy and fun pattern that’s great for beginners and up – no tricky shaping or advanced stitches, just simple steps that come together to create something super cute. The highlight of the design is definitely Maple’s tail: worked in a clever way that gives it height and curve, helping her sit upright and proud.
The illustrated pattern is now available in all my stores! Here’s what’s included:
13 pages with clear written instructions
70+ step-by-step photos
Diagrams and helpful tips to guide you through every part
Whether you're making Maple as a fall decoration, a woodland-themed gift, or just because you love squirrels (who doesn’t?), this pattern is sure to bring a smile to your face.
Happy crocheting!
