It's getting spooky - crochet ghosts of all kinds
Almost everyone knows it from the film - the ghost Hui Buh. You can easily make this and other ghosts with our patterns for crocheting Halloween motifs. Basic knowledge is sufficient. For example, you can make the ghost with a pumpkin in his hand. Alternatively, he can hold a tea light or a small lantern in his hands. Of course, a cute face should not be missing to give the ghost more character.
Pumpkins in different sizes and colours
Crocheted pumpkins in all variations are generally suitable for autumn. Pumpkins in natural shades are ideal for autumn decoration. After all, it is the time when pumpkin soups and other dishes with pumpkin as an ingredient are on the menu. Especially for Halloween, the pumpkins can be a little more unusual, for example with a scary or funny face. Use one of the Crochet patterns for Halloween motifs from Crazypatterns to crochet your pumpkins in a different way. For example, as a doorstop, as a decorative pumpkin on the dining table or even arranged in a whole collection of numerous pumpkins in the living room or in a corner in the hallway.
Spiders and bats
An absolute classic and relatively easy to crochet are spiders and bats. These little animals are simply part of Halloween, and preferably in large quantities. It's best to crochet a whole collection of spiders and bats to cover the whole house.
Scary motifs
Of course, all kinds of spooky characters are also suitable for Halloween. For example, monsters, mummies, zombies, vampire bats and skulls for crocheting Halloween motifs. At Crazypatterns you can choose between easy and more difficult patterns.
Surprise pumpkin to fill
A great idea for children's parties on Halloween is the fillable pumpkin. This is crocheted in the desired size and is the absolute highlight of the evening. It can be filled with sweets or souvenirs to take home when the party guests leave the Halloween event.
Scarf or loop
Very simple crocheted and knitted accessories for the winter time are scarves and loos. In simple colours and with simple stitches, both are quickly finished. You can add more variation to your accessories with Halloween motifs to pin or sew on. Patterns also provide variety when crocheting Halloween motifs.
Triangle scarf in spider web design
A beautiful triangular scarf can be worn loosely over the shoulders. Perfect with an evening dress or an off-the-shoulder top. A crocheted triangular shawl with a spider web design would be perfect for Halloween. As a highlight, you can pin little spiders in the web.
Crochet Halloween Motifs for Advanced Students
Do you already have some crochet experience? Then why not try our Crochet patterns for Halloween motifs from Crazypatterns, which are marked with a higher level of difficulty.
These Halloween motifs are suitable for advanced crocheters:
- Mobilés
- Door wreaths
- amiguris
- Halloween gnomes
- Lanterns
- Witch with hat and broom or the icy cold little hand
- Witch boots, hats and cape
Mobilés with Halloween Motifs
Mobilés with funny figures are suitable even for the youngest children. They should not be too scary for babies and toddlers - motifs such as spiders, ghosts and monsters that are attached to the crocheted mobilé with strings are suitable for use as a decorative mobilé on Halloween. Such a piece is ideal to hang in a corner of the room. As there are many parts to crochet, this is more for advanced users in crocheting Halloween motifs.
Design creative door wreaths
A beautiful decorative wreath fits at the entrance door. This can be crocheted in the desired size and then embellished with numerous details. Small ghosts, spiders and pumpkins, which are placed around the wreath and sewn tightly, go well with this. Inside, perhaps a spider's web and a few autumnal leaves as a splash of colour.
Amigurumis - a trend from Japan
Amigurumi are another popular category in crochet. These are small, crocheted (there are also knitted versions) dolls and figures that are visually inspired by the mangas and anime so popular in Japan. What they all have in common is a big, round head, big eyes and cute faces. For Halloween, there are the corresponding variants as mini ghosts, pumpkins or monsters in amigurumi design. The important thing here is to use a firm crochet technique. The little figures are then filled with cotton wool or granules so that they are stable and can be set up.
Crochet Halloween Gnome
Or how about one or more Halloween Secret Santa figures? Secret Santa figures are a popular Halloween trend and are suitable for children to play with as well as a decoration for the whole home. You can crochet Secret Santa figures in different sizes and put them up as a group. Alternatively, you can hang individual gnomes on the door, use them as doorstops or place them in any corner of the home.
Lanterns for artificial and real tea lights
Candlelight makes the uncomfortable autumn season much more pleasant. These can be simple tea lights, but also artificial lamps and lanterns. You can easily make simple tea light holders and jackets for lanterns with our Crochet patterns for Halloween motifs from Crazypatterns. Create the right size for tea lights or lanterns and make sure the flame doesn't get near the crochet yarn. For safety reasons, these variations are not suitable for children.
Witches or the ice-cold little hand
Looking for more creative ideas for Crochet patterns for Halloween motifs from Crazypatterns? How about a wild witch, for example? Equipped with a hat and broom, this decorative figure will definitely make an impression. The pattern for the ice-cold hand is also a very popular motif for crocheting Halloween motifs among our users.
Witch boots, hats and cape
Are you still missing the right outfit for your children or for the Halloween party with adults? With a little skill, you can easily crochet your own outfit. A spooky witch costume, a crocheted hat with spiders or a crocheted cape will make any costume an absolute hit. Especially impressive are the witch boots, for which you will also find an illustrative pattern at Crazypatterns.
Materials for crocheting Halloween motifs
You don't need too many things to crochet with. The basic equipment includes the following items.
- thick and thin cotton yarn in different colours
- crochet hooks in different sizes
- hot glue or craft glue for attaching details
- various small parts (e.g. buttons, eyes, decorative spiders)
- 1 thick sewing needle for stitching and sewing the parts together
To begin with, buy a set of different colours and crochet hooks in different sizes so that you can follow our patterns for Halloween. You can vary the thickness of the yarn and the colour. If you're crocheting a spooky Halloween scarf, the yarn can be a little thicker to keep you warm in the cold autumn. The same applies if you decide to crochet a Halloween hat or any other piece of clothing with a Halloween look. The thicker the crochet yarn, the greater the warming effect.
Tip: Thin, soft and skin-friendly yarns are the right choice if the crocheted item is to be worn directly on the skin.
Vary with patterns, yarns and colours
Have you already become an advanced crochet specialist? Then why not create your own designs? You can use our Halloween motifs as a basis and add your own ideas for the details. Vary the colours, yarns and patterns until you have found your personal taste. Or create your own designs from scratch to create unique pieces that no one else has but you.
Tip: Feel free to add your own designs to our Crazypatterns Halloween crochet tutorials by listing patterns for sale.
