Quick Crochet Witch Hat Hair Clip
Need a last-minute Halloween costume detail? This tiny witch hat is made to sit on a hair clip, and the designer suggests sewing it to elastic if you prefer.

Easy Crochet Witch Applique Pattern
This little witch is basically a whole Halloween character in one flat applique!

Use the finished applique as an ornament, bunting, or sew her onto another project for an instant witchy makeover.

The crochet dress has a fitted waist, ruffled trim and corset-style detail at the front, then fastens neatly at the back with a button. It’s a particularly fun one if you’d rather make the costume than another witch doll from scratch.
Mini No-Sew Witch Hat Applique
This tiny witch hat is ready to work its magic on all sorts of Halloween projects.

Zeena Mini Crochet Witch Doll
Zeena may be tiny, but she has a whole Halloween wardrobe situation going on! This free crochet pattern makes a small amigurumi witch with a removable dress, and that outfit can even be swapped with clothes from the designer’s other Kozu Palm Pals dolls. She’s quick and easy to make too, which makes this mini witch especially tempting if you love little dress-up characters.
Witch Hat Tapestry Crochet Mug Rug
This Halloween mug rug turns a simple square into a bold witch hat using tapestry crochet and a color chart. The free pattern is worked entirely in single crochet, with the yarn tails becoming fringe along the sides instead of another pile of ends to weave in. A fun little kitchen project if you fancy trying colorwork on something smaller than a blanket.
Kids’ Halloween Crochet Witch Hat Pattern
Now this is a witch hat you can actually wear! The free pattern includes sizes from newborn through child/youth, with a tall pointed shape and a ribbon band you can switch up in any color you like. It uses a mix of familiar crochet stitches and makes a brilliantly fun Halloween costume piece that will keep little heads warm too.
Willow Witch Crochet Lovey Pattern
Willow is half cuddly blanket, half wonderfully witchy character! This Halloween witch has a six-sided comforter body topped with an amigurumi head, curly hair, arms and a pointed hat. The free crochet pattern also lets you choose between safety eyes or embroidered ones, so you can adapt the finished lovey depending on who you’re making it for.
Heart-Shaped Crochet Witch Gnome Applique
Look closely and you’ll spot something clever about this little witch gnome: many of her pieces are based on heart shapes!

Use the finished gnome as an applique, ornament or wall decoration.
Easy Crochet Witch Gnome Ornament
A fluffy pom-pom becomes the beard and body of this tiny witch gnome, so most of the crochet is concentrated in that fabulous pointed hat.

Halloween Cauldron Bowl Cozy Pattern
Nothing says witch quite like a bubbling cauldron, and this one has a clever practical side too! The free crochet pattern turns a standard bowl into a wonderfully gloopy Halloween cauldron, complete with raised potion bubbles, dangling drips and optional little feet. Use it around a bowl for hot soup or cold ice cream, or skip the food and fill it with Halloween treats instead.
Moving Halloween Crochet Witch Hat
This witch hat actually moves! Hidden inside this wonderfully bonkers Halloween design is a pump system that makes the arms move when you squeeze the dangling feet. The free crochet pattern includes a pointy hat, mischievous face, striped legs and three step-by-step video tutorials, with an adult size shown and guidance for making it smaller too.
Halloween Witch Hat Cutie Crochet Pattern
This isn’t a hat to wear, it’s a whole little witch hat character!

Witch Kitchen Towel Holder Crochet Pattern
Your Halloween kitchen just found its witchiest accessory! This free crochet pattern builds the witch from several small pieces, including her pointed hat, face, nose and yarn hair, before adding rings to hold your towel.

Tiny witch hats and bubbling cauldrons alternate along this fun Halloween garland, and you can make it as long and colorful as you fancy.

Halloween Amigurumi Witch Doll Duo Pattern
Why make one witch when you can have two? Sabrina and Kelly are a pair of colorful amigurumi dolls made for Halloween, with lots of little details to give each one her own personality.

Easy Crochet Witch Hat Bookmark Pattern
Now your book can dress up for Halloween too! This witch hat bookmark has a long crocheted chain that slips between the pages, finished with a little tassel hanging out below. The free crochet pattern is rated easy, and you can make the chain longer or shorter to suit your book. A brilliantly different little project among all the dolls and decorations.

Easy Halloween Crochet Witch Hat Pattern
This is a proper wearable witch hat, with sizes running from toddlers right through to adults. The free crochet pattern is worked top down in one piece, holding two strands of yarn together to help that tall point and wide brim keep their shape. It’s rated easy too, making it a fun Halloween costume project when you want something handmade that you can actually wear.
Flying Witch Tapestry Crochet Wall Hanging
A witch flying across a full moon makes this one instantly Halloween! The free pattern uses tapestry crochet and three colors to build the picture entirely in single crochet, then adds fringe and a simple twig hanger at the end. The designer originally considered turning it into a hot pad too, so the finished square has a lovely thick, solid feel.
Sami Mini Crochet Witch Doll Pattern
Sami has all the good witchy details, from her crooked hat to her bright hair and full little skirt! The free crochet pattern uses clever color changes to build the dress into the body, with the skirt added into the front loops afterward. This small witch doll is part of a whole interchangeable amigurumi series, making her a particularly fun addition to your Halloween collection.
Squashed Witch Halloween Crochet Placemat Pattern
This may be one of the funniest Halloween table decorations in the whole roundup! The free crochet pattern makes a wonderfully squashed witch placemat, with a two-color spiral forming the main mat and long legs sticking out underneath. Even better, change the colors and the very same design transforms into a squashed Christmas elf.
Witch Hat Crochet Earrings & Coaster
One witch hat design, two completely different Halloween projects! This free crochet pattern includes tiny thread earrings plus a larger tapestry-style coaster, so you can decorate yourself and your table to match. Both are worked flat from the bottom up, with color changes creating the hat details on the coaster and a little contrasting band adding color to the earrings.
The Witch Project Crochet Doll Pattern
This witch started with a request for a traditional Galician meiga, but when the designer couldn’t find what she wanted, she created her own amigurumi instead. The free crochet pattern builds the head and body together before adding long yarn hair, arms, a full base or skirt, pointed hat and handmade broom. There are even instructions in several languages, making her a really unusual Halloween doll to discover.
Detailed Crochet Witch Gnome Pattern
This witch gnome has so many little details to discover, from her layered dress and striped legs to curled shoes, long braids and that fabulous pointed hat. The free crochet pattern includes three different color variations for inspiration, but you can mix everything up to create your own Halloween character. You can even leave the hat removable, and there are matching broom and cauldron patterns if you want to go all out.
Easy Cat Crochet Witch Hat
Yes, this one really is a witch hat for your cat! The free crochet pattern is worked from the top down using single crochet stitches, with clever openings added so your cat’s ears can poke straight through. Ties help the little Halloween hat stay in place, although the designer sensibly reminds you not to tie it too tightly if your cat decides costume time is over.
Easy Halloween Crochet Witch Gnome
If you prefer your Halloween witches cute rather than creepy, this little gnome fits the bill! The free crochet pattern gives your witch a tall stuffed hat, colorful hair, cape, arms and feet, plus a tiny broom made from a yarn tassel and dowel. There’s also a crochet gnome video series to help with the different pieces, and plenty of room to change her skin, hair and outfit colors.
