Spooky month is here and as I’m on a mission to create a bunch of crocheted wreaths for every month of the year, I of course had to make a Halloween themed one! And what screams Halloween more than Nightmare before Christmas and the Pumpkin King! I hope you’ll like this pattern and make your own little Jack!

Materials
To make Jack you will need:
– A Crochet hook, 2.5mm
– Black and white yarn
– A tapestry needle and scissors
– Stuffing
– A stitch marker to help you keep track of the start of the round
Please note that you can make Jack using any size crochet hook and yarn weight for a smaller or bigger result. I like using DK as it’s most commonly available. If you make amigurumi, it is usually recommended to go down a bit from the recommended hook size for the yarn to allow for a no-hole look (we don’t want to see the stuffing show through in between stitches)! Using DK yarn and a 2.5mm crochet hook, Jack should be about 14cm tall.

Stitches & Abbreviations
The pattern is written using US crochet terms in continuous spirals. You will need to know the following kinds of stitches to make him:
– Magic Ring (MR)
– Chaning (Ch)
– Single crochet (sc)
– Decrease (dec); preferably using the invisible decrease method
– Increase (inc)
– Slip stitch (sl)
