Crochet Witch Amigurumi Tutorial
Skill Level: Beginner – Intermediate. The crochet witch head needs single crochet, slip stitch, increase and decrease, and chain by working in the round to crochet a ball. Increases and decreases in the round to begin the hair base and chain stitches in different numbers. Color changes are needed in the witch hat and FLO to begin the ruffle that is produced using the half-double crochet and treble cluster!
Tutorial Timing: 21 minutes only (perfect for learning a basic head pattern for crochet girl dolls, mostly immortally the hair. The witch hat pattern is also unique from the usual pattern, making it worth trying. So, the tutorial takes a little time, but worth watching!)
Personalization Tips: To personalize your witch doll, you can choose black and even orange for the hair. You could also add accessories like a small broom, a tiny cauldron, and also use the regular safety eyes instead of the beads. You can also complete your witch doll by crocheting a usual low-sew witch amigurumi pattern later. Make the witch hat in orange or black!
Pattern Type: A detailed on-screen written pattern is available if you find written instructions easy to follow along with.
