The hedgehog is part of fall , fattening up quickly before looking for a quiet little spot for hibernation.
Halloween and witches go together like a witch and her broom, on which she flies through the air.

Dishcloths or small doilies with knitted-in motifs are quick to finish and also well suited for beginners who want to start knitting.
It’s enough if you can knit and purl stitches.
Worked in a certain order, they create the motif row by row.
I’ll show you how it’s done in my patterns.

I’ve picked out the following cloths with a hedgehog motif and a witch motif for you from my collection “Knitting Motifs - Very Simple to Make,” which now includes almost 100 items:

This skull named "Skully" is a great gift for your next Halloween party - depending on the yarn, you can knit the cloth as a washcloth or dishcloth. It is super easy to make and suitable even for beginners, since only knit and purl stitches are needed.

If you like it a little less spooky but still autumnal, you might enjoy these two leaf motifs. These cloths are also beginner-friendly and really fun to make. They are a wonderful gift for loved ones, or of course for yourself too.

These coasters are very quick to knit and make beautiful decor for the fall season. Only knit and purl stitches are needed, so they are also perfect for beginners.

I like to crochet pumpkins in various sizes for fall decorations. 

Depending on which yarn and crochet hook you choose, the pumpkins will vary in size. You’ll be crocheting double crochet, single crochet, and cluster stitches. 

The little witch Ophelia is a must-have for Halloween. Equipped with a cauldron and a broom, she whips up a delicious pumpkin soup with her cat.



The crochet pattern is 40 pages long and, with basic knowledge and a little bit of skill, is suitable even for beginners.

The fly agaric children fit wonderfully into any fall decoration or on the seasonal table. The large fly agaric child is about 15 cm tall, and his little brother is 9 cm. For the large mushroom, pipe cleaner wire is worked into the arms and legs. This lets you bend the limbs and have the mushroom take on different poses.



You’ll also find fly agarics in thisfall mini door wreath. It has a diameter of only 12 cm and can also be used nicely as wall or window decoration. It was crocheted with gradient sock yarn. But you can also use a yarn cake or leftover yarn very well. Colorful fall leaves and a small pumpkin complete the decoration.



Using the same gradient yarn as for the door wreath, I crocheted the fall leaves on thesefall egg cozies. For the egg cozies themselves, I used a slightly thicker yarn (Catania by Schachenmayr, yardage 125 m / 50 g).

Halloween is just around the corner, and of course every Halloween needs a witch. 

This witch is not only especially eye-catching, but also quite large (80 cm).

"He is alive......" Dr. Frankenstein was a little crazy when he created his monster, but he was also brilliant in his own way.

This monster may not be pieced together from body parts, but from lots of yarn, stuffing and wire, yet it looks at least as amazing as Dr. Frankenstein’s monster.

With its impressive height of 80 cm, Frankenstein is sure to catch the eye and makes the perfect Halloween decoration.

In my 23-page pattern, you’ll find lots of pictures, detailed descriptions and templates for spooky eyes and a mouth.

Vladi the little bat is definitely not one of the vampires. He would so love to flutter over meadows and forests in the sunshine just once, but unfortunately he is completely blind then. :)
He is a very lovely decoration idea for Halloween.

Fidje the little enchanted mushroom is a pretty decoration idea for fall. And he is also perfect as a gift.

If you’re planning to make your own fall decorations, I have a recommendation for you: This tea light holder looks very elegant and can easily be adapted to your existing decor by changing the material and color.



The tea light holder shown is made of leather-look paper, measures approximately 16 x 19 cm, is very easy to recreate, and is ideal even for beginners who are comfortable using a craft knife.

Pumpkins are simply a must in fall; here they come in the form of little trolls and make great decorations anywhere. Plus, this gives you the chance to use up some leftover yarn, and since they’re made mostly with single crochet stitches, they’re quick to crochet.

These funny little fellows are quick to make too, and they’re a nice idea for Halloween—not too scary to look at.

How about a cozy Tunisian crocheted shawl for fall?

Meridia is an asymmetrical triangular shawl for thicker yarn and has an eye-catching striped pattern.


It is crocheted in a modified Tunisian simple stitch, giving it a really lovely drape.
I’ll show you how it’s done in the photo tutorial.

Have fun crocheting!
