Anuthei Witch Doll Pattern
Anuthei the Witch is the ultimate bibliophile. She is obsessed with that new book smell. Her only worry is running out of shelf room for her growing collection of fantasy fiction novels. Her Hogwarts house is Ravenclaw, of course.Thank you so much for supporting my amigurumi *There is an affiliate link to where I buy the yarn for this pattern.
