Get ready to hook some spooky fun! Halloween is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than by crocheting adorable Halloween amigurumi creatures? From mischievous ghosts and freaky vampires to creepy crawlies, there’s a crochet pattern out there to tickle every spine-tingling fantasy.
Amongst this collection of crochet Halloween patterns, you’ll find plenty of inspiration for soft cuddles and spooktacular/fang-tastic home décor! These little cuties are perfect for decorating your home, gifting handmade to loved ones, or simply indulging your own goth aesthetic.
Gather Your Creepy Crochet Supplies
Let’s make sure you have all the essentials to craft your own handmade Halloween Amigurumi!
- Yarn: Opt for a variety of colours to capture the essence of Halloween. Think black, orange, purple, and bright greens for a festive colour palette. A medium (4) – super bulky (6) weight yarn is perfect for most amigurumi projects.
- Crochet Hook: Choose a hook size that complements your yarn. A smaller hook (2-3 sizes smaller than recommended on the wrapper) will create tighter stitches, ideal for amigurumi, as it keeps the stuffing inside!
- Stuffing: Polyfill is easy to find and a classic choice for filling your creations.
- Safety Eyes: Bring your characters to life with a range of safety eye sizes. OR check out my Sleepy Eye embroidery tutorial.
- Stitch Markers: Keep track of your rounds with these handy little helpers.
- Yarn Needle: Perfect for weaving in ends and sewing pieces together.
- Embroidery Floss: Add intricate details like eyes, mouths, and stitches with embroidery floss.
- Scissors: A sharp pair of scissors is essential for cutting yarn.
- Wire Cutters (Optional): If you’re making creatures with poseable parts, wire cutters will come in handy.
All of these Materials can be found in my Amazon Storefront shops
