Look at her. She’s beautiful. What a bawking boss.

It’s from this book from Enterprise Yarn (Now Lily’s Sugar & Cream), from the 1940s:

As it required with these adorable pattern collections, there is one terrifying monstrosity. It’s a corn man. You’ll know it when you see it.

Quick Tip: The book says you should use a 2mm hook for all projects unless told otherwise. This will make your fingers fall off. You’re working with worsted weight. Go up to a 3.5. You’ll get a tight gauge, the items will only be about an inch larger than specified, and you’ll be able to feel your wrists when you’re done.

Anyway, I’ve uploaded the entire booklet if you’d like to grab it for yourself.
