Witch on a Broom doll was Re: big surprise crochet stuff

Well here you are ,,ERIN
i have been making them and teaching others how to make them as long
as i can remember ,,, thus we could say it is a Folklore thing.

You need some colored threads ,,,, a pencil or a Chop stick or any
tiny wooden kind of stick pencil sized.
take one color and wrap it on your other hand on the part after the
thumb ,, wrap so that you have 20+ wraps,
take a diffferent colored thread slip the wraped ring on this thread
and tie a knot with second thread at one place on the wrap. leave long
enough thread for hanging later.
Hold the knotted place,smooth down the rest of the wrap, hold the the
wrap with 2 fingers and make a 2nd wrap at this place ,and knot it.
now you have a `head` between the 2 knots ,,,, put this aside and
make a second wrap on your hand but this time only 5-7 wraps ,,
take second wraped ring and slip it under the `head`, with a another
thread knot the `hips` under the hands.
now make 2 tiny wraps at the ends of the hands . cut the end thread of
the Big wrap opposite to the HEAD ,,, you can embrioder tiny eyes on
the face and add `hair` at will ,,,
YOUR witch is ready ,,,
now make a 3rd hand wrap , if you can do it with RAFIA , or another
Coarse material, make a Head like you did for the witch,
take the pencil or stick , PUSH it into the `head` , and wrap
strongly around the head so that it becomes a broom , cut the threads
at the other end ,,, push the broom stick so that it enters under her
HIP thread and comes out on the other side over the hip thread...
hang it on the Head thread
happy making .
