Hello to the readers/buyers and to the authors/sellers,

Fall and Halloween without decorations are about as exciting as a lukewarm bottle of sparkling wine. Nobody wants that either.
That’s why I’m opening this thread, so the authors can upload and present their prettiest and spookiest fall and Halloween decorations. So look forward to the pattern highlights.
Of course, you can write down any questions, wishes, and suggestions here at any time. If you want to have your fall and Halloween decorations finished in time, then you should start your DIY now, otherwise fall and Halloween will be pretty dull.
I’ll write down a few more notes for authors here, but buyers and readers can scroll straight down to the entertaining part of the thread with the pretty pictures and links. Go ahead and scroll down. :- )

@Authors:
Please only two thematically appropriate patterns per author, each with an image, CP link, and at least four lines of informative and appealing text.
The image for the pattern that is uploaded here in the thread should be without a border, without decorative graphic elements + without text in the image, and the DIY project must be clearly recognizable.
The text for the link should include this information:
- why should the reader buy your pattern in particular? Where is the added value for the reader/buyer? Where is the fun factor for the reader/buyer?
- which type of craft is involved? Knitting and crochet can be hard to tell apart in some pictures, especially for beginners.
- is the pattern aimed at beginners, advanced crafters, or pros?
- maybe also a few words about the material
-->you can certainly put together a few lines of text from these guidelines.
If this information is not yet on the product page for the respective pattern, please add it there as well.

I wish the authors lots of success and you, or rather all of us, a wonderful fall and lots of fun at Halloween.

BOOOOOHHHHOOOOOOOOOO!

Who’s going on a trick-or-treat tour with the kids? We’re going along for the 3rd time this year, and so far it has always been a lot of fun. Of course, everyone will be dressed up, and the kids are already incredibly excited about going around to snag some treats.
Of course, a collecting bag is a must.
That’s why I designed this great Halloween basket. A ghost and a spider make the basket an absolute eye-catcher. And what’s especially great is that it even lights up. The basket offers 3 light sources—one in the front in each of the little pumpkins and one inside the ghost.

                                                         Today all ghosts are wide awake
                                                         All witches gather on the roof
                                                         Monsters creep around the house
                                                         So quickly hand some candy out!


And if you don’t have children, this little basket makes a wonderful table decoration, because there’s room inside the basket for things other than candy, too.

All steps for crocheting it are explained in detail and illustrated with pictures. Even beginners can easily make this Halloween basket.

Currently also available at a discounted price. Grab it and make your Halloween unforgettable.
Click here or on the photos to get to the pattern.

Here it comes, the pumpkin scarecrow! A mix of scarecrow and pumpkin. 

This little guy is especially popular with children, but it also looks great as a decorative element among a few ornamental pumpkins. I’ve already had to make several of them.
We don’t actually use it as decoration at our house, though, because the kids prefer to have their pumpkin scarecrow in bed. :)

The figure is crocheted. Mostly in rounds. A few pieces are crocheted back and forth in rows (the patches, for example). At the end, everything is sewn together.

Thanks to the richly illustrated step-by-step pattern, making it is no problem. 
You’ll be guided through the process body part by body part. Embroidering the mouth is also explained in detail, and you have lots of creative freedom here. If you like, your figure can look much grumpier than the one in the photo here. 

Since the pattern is very extensive and, in addition to the crochet instructions themselves, also includes a section with very detailed step-by-step instructions, even beginners can master it. 

For this type of figure, I always use pure cotton yarn (weight 8/8) and a 3 mm crochet hook. Basically, though, you can choose the yarn yourself. Just make sure that the yarn for each figure is the same thickness, and that you use a crochet hook that is 1 to 2 sizes smaller than recommended for your yarn (so the stitches turn out nice and tight).

Get started: Crochet your own pumpkin scarecrow! :)

Still need something special for Halloween? A little scare with a fun factor for in between?

How about a dead frog? 
Served on a plate, floating in a pool of blood, with intestines spilling out and eyeballs hanging from their sockets... Um, but it’s all just crocheted, of course! :)

Thanks to the comprehensive pattern, making it goes quite quickly. In addition to the actual crochet patterns, there is a detailed section with step-by-step instructions. You’ll be guided through the entire process from start to finish. That’s why this figure is also suitable for beginners.

For this type of figure, I always use pure cotton yarn (weight 8/8) and a 3 mm crochet hook. Basically, though, you can choose the yarn yourself. Just make sure that, for each figure, the yarn is the same thickness and that you use a crochet hook 1 to 2 sizes smaller than recommended for your yarn (so the stitches turn out nice and tight).

Oh, and in the end, the frog doesn’t consist of a thousand separate parts that can be completely removed. Everything is connected, so nothing can get lost. Only the pool of blood is separate.

Warning: I don’t want to hide anything from you: this little guy is polarizing. Either you’ll find him totally gross, tasteless, and simply disgusting... or absolutely brilliant! :D
Your guests will probably feel the same way. Either they’ll recoil from the little guy in horror right away, or they won’t put him down for the rest of the evening.

Here we go! If you start today, you can make a whole horde of dead frogs by Halloween! :D

No one really has to be afraid of Nick, the Night Ghost. He just wants to be cuddled.

Using the specified materials, Nick the Night Ghost will be 28 cm long. Personally, I recommend using cotton yarn for this project because, in my opinion, the stitches look best that way and Nick the Night Ghost is also easier to care for.

The pattern includes many step-by-step photos to make recreating the project easier.

The pattern and photos for Nick the Night Ghost are available here:
https://www.crazypatterns.net/en/items/8270/nick-nachtgespenst-haekelanleitung

Petra from creativissimo wishes you

lots of fun with Nick the Night Ghost!

Then let your spooky visitors reach into your cauldron and surprise them with what they grab there!

As an additional highlight, this great Halloween decoration can also light up! How? I reveal that in the ebook.

Suitable for beginners, illustrated and with step-by-step explanations

Spiders are so wonderfully creepy. That’s probably why my son and my husband love these spiders so much for Halloween. I crocheted 20 of them, spray-painted them in bright colors, and now we have a beautiful Halloween-themed room. Of course, they also make a great gift for any spider lover.

Delight or scare your guests this Halloween! The pattern is designed for beginners, with pictures and step-by-step instructions.

Practical and decorative. The “Pumpkin” draft stopper. No matter how much it storms outside, it stays nice and warm inside.
The individual pieces can also be used wonderfully as fall decorations.

What could be better than crocheting and knitting in this kind of weather? Make yourselves comfortable and let your creativity run wild.

I just love sitting comfortably on the couch with a cup of tea, surrounded by yarn, yarn, and even more yarn. No matter how gloomy and rainy it is outside, I’m always delighted by my finished projects. That’s when the sun comes out for me!

Perfect for the season, I’ve just finished this wonderful autumn decoration

Best wishes and have fun crocheting it ;)

Pumpkin gnomes Kumani and Kuno. If you need an original gift or a lovely fall decoration, then grab your crochet hook. The pattern is quite easy and quick to crochet; the body alone is already a pumpkin, which can also be used as a decorative element. The pumpkin gnomes are welcome anytime and anywhere in fall, including for Halloween. I use cotton yarn for hook size 2, so my gnomes are about 17–20 cm tall; if you prefer larger gnomes or like working with thicker yarn, you can also crochet the gnomes with other yarn. Even in a large size, the pumpkin gnomes are a real feast for the eyes. Thanks to the many pictures, the pattern is easy to understand. https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/items/8284/kuerbis-wichtel-kumani-amp-kuno-die-herbstdeko-gehaekelt

The pattern includes lots of pictures and is very well suited for beginner crocheters.

Halloween doesn’t always have to be spooky…
Despite her friendly nature, this friendly spider cuts a fine figure on Halloween. She makes a great decoration in her cozy and sturdy spiderweb.

The friendly spider is about 13 cm tall, and the spiderweb is about 47 cm high and wide.

The pattern includes plenty of pictures and is very well suited for crochet beginners.

Why not a Halloween cat?

Normally she’s a sweet, lovable house cat named Lola, but every Halloween she turns into a vampire cat. 

Of course, everyone knows witches, pumpkins, spiders, ghosts, etc. for Halloween, but a vampire cat is something completely new.

If you feel the same way, then take a look at her. 
I think she’s spookily sweet.

This cute decoration is very easy to make. Everything is done completely in single crochet; each step is described individually and includes lots of colorful pictures. That makes the pattern ideal for every crochet beginner, too.
Get it quickly and brew up your own little Halloween soup this year.

Outside, it’s slowly starting to feel like fall, and nature is showing off its full splendor of colors! Without a doubt, the colors of a decoration should match the season’s color palette. Pumpkins, bouquets, and candles are beautiful eye-catchers for your decor.
With the fall colors yellow, orange, brown, and green, you can create a colorful and cheerful ensemble.
The cooler it gets outside, the cozier it is at home.
A great idea for a pumpkin pillow as a decorative pillow
Fall, harvest festival, Halloween... - a beautiful and colorful time that also offers many decorative highlights.
Here is a step-by-step PDF pattern for a pumpkin decorative pillow.
Skills: Crochet
- chain stitches, slip stitches, single crochet, double crochet, treble crochet, double treble crochet
- Worked in rounds.
The pumpkin is about 40 cm in diameter. The size can be adjusted individually as desired and depending on the amount of yarn.
Materials: any yarn for hook size 5-6, about 500 g – held double
Hook no. 6-7 I recommend a thinner hook so the pillow becomes firmer.

These two Halloween window pictures are completely different in how they’re made, and both are sure to have their fans!
This picture...
 
...is not really scary, but it is very colorful.
It is approx. 48 x 43 cm, cut from photo cardstock, and backed with colorful transparent paper. You can find the more detailed description, as well as the pattern and templates to download, here.

This picture...

...is more likely to serve its spooky purpose.
It is approx. 54 x 34.7 cm and is made mostly of construction paper. The picture is cut in a papercut style, though I also backed the motif with yellow transparent paper. Once you have finished cutting out the picture, you can decide for yourself whether you like it better “plain” or whether you would also like to add transparent paper. You can find the more detailed description, as well as the pattern and templates to download, here.

This little spooky friend is just waiting to be filled ♥, because hidden inside him is an empty PET container :- ) For cookies, Halloween gifts for friends or neighbors, or for candy on Halloween (who gets to take candy out of Frankenstein’s head?), Frankie is very easy to crochet —plenty of pictures and a detailed pattern will help you along the way.

Hello, I'd like to introduce you to my ghost parade.
1. Gerry, the little ghost is very easy to crochet, so it's also suitable for beginners
            too. It is only 13 cm tall and can also be used as a keychain.
2. Gipsy, she isn't afraid of spiders; with a pumpkin and spiders, she'll become the decoration for
            fall and Halloween. The ghost lady is 23 cm tall.
3. chubby Gebbo, if you need an original gift package, then grab your
            crochet hook: Gebbo can hide a gift in the pumpkin, and afterward he is
a lovely fall decoration
I use cotton yarn for a size 2 hook for the little ghost Gerry. If you prefer larger
ghosts, simply crochet Gerry with thicker yarn,
or try Gipsy or Gebbo. The three ghosts are all friendly and
kind to everyone
The pattern is easy to understand and follow thanks to the many photos.
The ghosts are available individually in my shop

A cute little gift: the voodoo doll, this time in the form of a pincushion. D:

Of course, it’s only authentic if you fill it with pins when you give it away.
Quick and easy to make, and it doesn’t require much yarn. If you’d like it bigger, you can simply use a thicker yarn than specified.
