German Children’s Favourite Imp

is called Pumuckl. He comes from a long line of seafaring forebears but has for the time being settled in Munich in the workshop of a carpenter.

He has lived through various mediums over the last 60 years: children’s books, radio serialisaton, long playing records and music tapes, a tv series, a muscial, and now, apparently, crochet.

PS: In Germany it is has been judicially forbidden that parents name their child Pumuckl. Regardless of their hair colour.

PPS: Yes, I did crochet this doll and another one for two of our grandchildren.
