Crochet Good Witch Video Tutorial
A step-by-step video tutorial accompanies the project. The source does not identify every technique shown in the video, so use it alongside the written pattern rather than assuming it answers every construction question. The written directions remain the reference for specific stitch placement and assembly.
Good Witch Mini Amigurumi Pattern Overview
The figure has a beige head, a pink body and hat, caramel hair, and yellow accents. Its shape uses single crochet, increases and decreases, color changes, and back-loop slip stitches. The hair, two arms, and hat are made as separate pieces and sewn on; the face details are embroidered. The notes below describe the materials and construction at a high level, without reproducing the full pattern.

The designer describes an ad-free PDF with detailed instructions in a print-friendly, text-only format. The source lists distinct PDF access routes, including a member download, a PDF offered through the designer’s site, and a Ravelry listing. These PDF options are separate from reading the free pattern online. Check the source for current availability and access terms.
Materials
Gather the listed materials before starting. The designer’s sample uses 100% cotton sport-weight yarn, in beige, pink, caramel, and yellow. Black thread is listed for embroidering the eyes, with safety eyes offered as an alternative.
- One 2 mm crochet hook.
- Beige, pink, caramel, and yellow yarn.
- Black thread for the embroidered eyes, or safety eyes as an alternative.
- Stuffing material for the head.
- Scissors and a sewing needle.
The source gives eye placement in its assembly directions. Follow those instructions if you choose safety eyes.
Finish size
The finished figure is approximately 3.1 inches (8 cm) tall. This is an estimate: the designer notes that the final size can vary with stitch tension and materials.
Gauge
Gauge is not crucial for this project. Choose a hook that suits your yarn; the designer recommends using a slightly smaller hook to make tighter stitches and help keep the stuffing from showing. Adjust the hook if needed for a neater fabric. As a sample reference, five rounds increasing to 30 stitches measure approximately 4.5 cm (1.6 inches) with sport-weight yarn and a 2 mm hook.
Useful Crochet Tutorials
The source lists supporting tutorials with written explanations and step-by-step images, as well as video tutorials. The topics are useful preparation if any of these techniques are new to you:
- Making a magic ring and crocheting single crochet in the round.
- Working single crochet increases and invisible decreases in amigurumi.
- Changing colors, working into front or back loops, and making a back-loop slip stitch.
- Fastening off an amigurumi piece.
The pattern is beginner-friendly, particularly for someone comfortable with basic crochet stitches and making amigurumi pieces. The source notes that surface chain stitch embroidery may be the trickier part, so allow time for the decorative details as well as the crochet.
Terms and abbreviations (US terms)
The pattern uses US terminology. sc means single crochet, inc means making two single crochets in one stitch, and dec means a decrease worked through the front loops of the next two stitches. blsl means a slip stitch worked through the back loop only. If these terms are unfamiliar, review the technique tutorials listed by the designer before beginning.

Good Witch Mini Amigurumi Construction Overview
The construction centers on one continuous main piece that forms the head and body, with the hair, arms, and hat made separately. Color changes and back-loop stitches create details in the main piece. The head is stuffed, while the body is left unstuffed and its lower section is pushed inward. Use the source for the exact stitch sequence and assembly positions.
Head
The main piece begins in beige, widening from a magic ring before decreases shape the head. The yarn changes to pink after the initial shaping, and the head is stuffed before work continues. A back-loop slip-stitch round is followed by work into the remaining front loops from the previous round; the designer specifies that the slip-stitch round faces the inside of the toy. Later pink and yellow rounds create the body’s color details, with additional increases and decreases shaping the lower portion. At the end, the opening is drawn closed.
Do not stuff the body; the source directs makers to push the lower part, starting around round 23, inside the body.
Hair
The hair is crocheted in caramel yarn, beginning with a small rounded base that increases to 24 stitches. Its final round forms repeated chain-loop strands. Fasten off with a long tail for sewing the hair to the head, then follow the designer’s assembly directions to arrange the strands around the face.
Arms
Make two small arms. Each begins in beige, changes to pink for the later rounds, and is closed by crocheting the sides together. Fasten off with a yarn tail for sewing. The source specifies where the arms are attached and how much space to leave between them.
Hat
The hat is worked in pink, beginning with a small magic ring and increasing outward to 27 stitches, followed by a round without increases. The source’s listed sequence goes from round 2 directly to round 4, with no round 3 provided, so do not assume or add a missing instruction. Consult the original directions for the published sequence. Fasten off with a sewing tail, then embroider a star in the center using yellow yarn.
Assembly
Pin and sew the hair around the head, leaving four strands on each side loose. Arrange the remaining strands away from the face and secure them as directed. The designer places the arms at round 15 with six stitches between them, and the embroidered eyes at round 8 of the face with three stitches between them. Pin the hat in position before sewing it around the head. Refer to the original assembly directions for the exact placement.
Congratulations!!!
Once the hair, arms, hat, and facial details are attached, the separate pieces form the finished witch. Check the designer’s directions for any finishing detail that needs clarification.
