Miloʼs Pumpkin House
In a quiet corner of the forest, there lived a small, adventurous mouse named Milo. Milo had the most unique home in the entire woodland. He had found an abandoned, plump crocheted pumpkin in the meadow one crisp autumn day. With a bit of ingenuity and hard work, he had transformed it into his cozy dwelling.🧡 One chilly autumn evening, Milo was worried that his friend Ruby - a city pigeon, the one he likes so much, but never had a courage to talk about it. The mouse was afraid, that she would be cold in the big city, so he decided to invite her to share a warm cup of tea. This is the moment where we see Milo a bit nervously waiting for the Ruby to come, wearing his tailcoat to make the best impression and feeling content in the heart of the enchanted woods in the warm pumpkin with a door.
Milo's Pumpkin House is an adorable amigurumi set featuring a dapper mouse in a tailcoat waiting outside his cozy pumpkin home. This intermediate crochet pattern brings a charming autumn story to life in soft yarn and careful detail.
