CROCHET HALLOWEEN WITCH AMIGURUMI Pattern Overview

Legs

Close-up of a crocheted amigurumi doll leg with alternating gray and cream stripes and a rounded foot, hanging below a purple skirt edged with light green trim, on a plain cream background.

Each leg begins with 7ch worked from the second loop from the hook. The first row shapes the foot, and the next row widens it. Later rows narrow the ankle using BLO and decreases. At row 8, the yarn changes to milk, followed by alternating two-row bands of gray and milk through row 19. The second leg is made the same way, then joined to the first with 3ch to continue into the body.

Body

Continuing from the joined legs, row 20 works 30sc. Row 21 increases to 36, held for four rows before changing to purple. Rows 27 and 28 use partial BLO shaping. Decreases begin at row 30, reducing the stitch count in stages. Row 39 finishes with 12 slst worked FLO.

Head

The head starts directly from the back loops of the body with 12 sc. Regular increases grow the piece, and the widest count holds for ten rounds. Steady decreases shape the crown down by round 27.

Hands

Each hand begins with 6sc in a magic ring, increasing to 12 and holding three rows. Round 6 reduces to 10, which continues straight until round 9. Purple yarn takes over for eight more rounds, after which the hand is folded and closed with 4 to 5 sc.

Skirt

The skirt attaches to the front loops of body row 27. Thirty-six hdc increases form the base, followed by three rows of 72 hdc. Round 5 works 72 sc FLO, then light green yarn creates a final decorative edge of alternating 1dc and 2ch repeats.

Hat

Crocheted witch hat in purple with dark spiral stripes, a light green band above the brim and a small orange square patch, resting on a plain beige crocheted sphere against a soft neutral fabric background.

The hat starts with 6sc in a magic ring and one BLO round. Gradual increases build a wide brim. Round 26 uses BLO again, while round 27 switches to working the front loops only. Purple yarn is used for the front-loop circle up to 16 rows, then light green adds two circles, and purple resumes through row 26. An orange square is sewn on as a buckle detail.

Wig

The wig cap begins with a magic ring and grows across the numbered rounds, finishing with a plain round. Hair strands measure 30 cm each. Two folded strands are fixed in loops around the circle, while the front section uses single 30 cm strands secured in fifteen loops.

All pieces are pinned together before sewing. Eyes attach between rows 11 and 12, spaced 11 to 12 loops apart. Black and white yarn embroiders the eyes, nose, and lips. The finished witch is complete once all parts are securely stitched.
