33 Fun Halloween Crochet Ideas and Patterns
I can’t help but smile when kiddos in costumes come to my door saying “Trick or Treat!” Little witches and zombies melt my heart and make me want to buy the full sized candy bars just to get more cuties to show up.
Whether it’s at my house with the boys, or over at a friend’s, I love a good Halloween themed party too. Headstones in the front yard, spiderwebs strewn about, and one of those candy dishes that slap your hand when you try to grab a candy bar. I love all kinds of spooky decorations!
I also really appreciate a hand made or crocheted costume. There’s something about the creativity and dedication that is put into a handmade costume that I adore.
Do you love spooky snacks? While I have a recipe for Feet-loaf (Halloween meatloaf) and a small round up of Friendly Ghosts Crafts and Snacks that will start your journey on a fantastic Halloween, I’m focusing more on decorations and costumes today.
If you are throwing a party this year, then reading further is a must. You’ll be all set with crochet Halloween decorations, crocheted Halloween party favors, and a few crochet Halloween costume patterns in case you need some inspiration.
If you need help reading a crochet pattern, make sure you head over here and check out this detailed post.
1. Master Beanie crochet pattern This pattern is so versatile because it is the base to your creativity. You can add horns, faces, fake hair, eyes, there is no limit. Add some earflaps to add a touch of warmth or to make into legs, arms, or whatever else completes the character.
2. Unicorn Horn and Ears Add these to the above Master Beanie or to another item such as the Marvelous Moss Hooded Tunic or the Painted Canyon Cardigan. These work up quickly and make a great last minute costume idea for all ages.
3. Jack Sparrow Inspired Costume 5 years ago my son wanted to be Jack Sparrow, from Pirates of the Caribbean, so of course I had to oblige. This would work great for any pirate themed outfit or make it in a lot of colors for a 60’s themed hippie.
4. Tunisian Crochet Pumpkin While there are a lot of cute pumpkin patterns, there’s not a lot of Tunisian crochet ones. This is a beginner friendly pattern. Add some removeable felt Jack o’ Lantern eyes and a spooky mouth and it can double as a fall decoration after Halloween!!
5. The Joker Amigurumi Do you have a kiddo going as Batman this year? Well of course they need a little Joker to go with their outfit. This works great for them to play with in the mean time to keep up their Batman enthusiasm and to save the wear and tear on their costume if it was purchased too early. 🤣
6. Bunny Beanie with Ears Do you have a little one obsessed with bunnies? This is not only a perfect Easter hat, it can be made into an Alice in Wonderland, Peter Rabbit, or an adult bunny costume.
7. Bearly Scary Beanie Great for little ones that will be riding in the stroller with a blanket on.
8. Team Spirit Beanie Are you looking for an “Oh no it’s Halloween tonight!” pattern? Dress up as a super fan for your favorite team. Add a jersey and a football and you’re all set.
9. Cute and Easy Small Crochet Witch If you are looking for cute party favors for a Halloween get together, then look no further than this adorable witch. She’s small and would make an awesome addition to your Halloween decorations.
10. Halloween Pumpkin Placemat If you want to spruce up your table for the season, then these are the perfect addition, because no party table is complete without placemats. These would be a perfect setting piece for my Feet-loaf recipe above. Add in some spooky snacks and you’re all set.
11. Sally Skulls Earrings When you can’t wear a costume, but still want to support your Halloween side. These spooky skulls will make a statement without having to get dressed up. Check out her Candy Corn Earrings while you’re there.
12. Halloween Crochet Ponytail Holder These are perfect for party favors if you have smaller guests. If your child’s school doesn’t allow costumes, they can slip these on and still celebrate the holiday.
13. Spiderweb Halloween Coasters Yes, these could be traditional coasters, party favors, or strung together like a spooky garland, but they could also be made for a Spiderman lover to throw like when Spiderman shoots webs from his hands.
14. Small Crochet Pumpkin Pattern Are you looking for a unique pumpkin pattern? This cutie is a corner to corner (c2c) using the cluster stitch. The pattern is customizable, so you can make the pumpkin as big or as small as you would like.
15. Sean’s Monster Beanie This beanie is so cute that you can wear it anytime, not just Halloween. All the kids will want one for themselves, so be sure to have your hook ready after your kiddo wears it to school.
16. Black Cat Crochet Towel Topper Need to liven up your kitchen? This adorable towel topper will give it the Halloween vibes that it needs.
