Today is day 10 of the Halloween themed Mini Amigurumi Crochet Along, and today we are adding a Tiny Vampire to the collection.
The little vampire is made in the same style as the witch body, but instead of a skirt and a pointy hat the vampire has a big cape and a tiny bow tie.
He also has hair that comes down to a point between his eyes. And in addition to the little embroidered smile, I added a little white tooth on each side. It is kind of hard to see them because a used a lighter than normal color for the skin so he would be extra pale.
The vampire is about 5" tall, similar in size to the mummy and witch.
