Crochet Witchcraft & Pumpkin Charm Tutorial

Skill Level: Beginner. You will need the basic amigurumi stitches and techniques like the slip knot (yes, flat amigurumi!), working in the rounds, single crochet and more like half-double crochet, slip stitches, increase and decrease, plus some basic sewing. The pattern is written in the US instructions. Like the crochet pumpkin from a rectangle, this pattern is also worked in flat rows with ribbing. Color change will be used in the witch hat and BLO, too.

Much more focus is on embroidering the face and adding the tassels to the legs of the witch pumpkin, and making the legs curly.

Tutorial Timing: Approximately 28 minutes only. (perfect for purifying your embroidery and perfecting the non-amigurumi skills. The crochet pumpkin from a flat is a clever skill that can also be used to crochet a slipper from a rectangle.)

Personalization Tips: Each part in this crochet witch pumpkin set can be crocheted as a separate toy like the witch hat for your amigurumi dolls and pumpkin for fall decor. It will look much adorable if you use the plush yarn (not necessarily bulky one!).
