The Crochet Fallwist Fakepops are cute and cuddly nostalgic fake food crochet animals that represent the magical feeling of fall.
Design Inspiration
Round two for these wonderful little amis! After creating the Seabreeze Fakepops this past summer, I was enamored and knew I wanted to design some equally adorable fall friends. These fake food crochet animals were inspired by my love for all things Hogwarts as well as Halloween snack nostalgia. Each crochet fall creature in this sweet collection was inspired by magical pets and classic autumn treats. The honey dipper design makes each animal easy to display with any of your fall or Halloween decor.
