PATTERN: BOTTOM-UP / LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE

Create your own witch dolls with their full outfits and accessories, and two sizes of Halloween pumpkins. ‍


For this project you’ll need:

Suggested materials:

  • 2 mm crochet hook with fine weight yarn (2/Sport) in the colours black, white, orange, a small piece of green and any tons you like for the skin
  • 1.5 mm crochet hook with super fine weight yarn (1/Fingering) in the colours black, lilac and pink for the clothes (you can use the same yarn and hook size for the whole doll, but I think using a smaller hook and slightly thinner yarn makes the clothes lighter and more delicate)
  • Wool or acrylic yarn in purple or any colours you like for the hair (I highly recommend NOT using cotton yarn for this part. Wool/acrylic yarn is so much lighter, and since it’s a lot of hair, you can have trouble using a heavier yarn)
  • 2 pairs of 7 mm safety eyes
  • Scissors
  • Tapestry needle
  • Embroidery needle
  • Pin needles (to help attach the parts)
  • Stuffing fibre
  • Blush makeup (optional)
  • Handicraft wire or a piece of a wooden stick (optional)
  • Doll needle (optional - it would make some parts easier to work on)

Yarn information:

For this project, I used:

  • Fine weight yarn (2/Sport) Bella 100% cotton from Fios Pingouin
  • Super fine weight yarn (1/Fingering) Anne 100% cotton from Círculo Produtos

Size:

My finished pieces measure approximately 20 cm from the tip of the hat. However, the size of your finished item may vary depending on your yarn tension and the materials used. If you’re using a different hook or yarn size, be sure to adjust the placement and size of the eyes accordingly.

My abbreviations (based on US terms):

  • MR - magic ring
  • ST - stitch
  • CH - chain
  • SL ST - slip stitch
  • SC - single crochet
  • INC - increase (2sc in the same st)
  • DEC - decrease (sc 2 together)
  • DC - double crochet
  • HDC - half double crochet
  • BLO - back loops only (do the stitches using only the back loops of your work)
  • FLO - front loops only (do the stitches using only the front loops of your work)
  • ( )xNUMBER - number of times you have to repeat everything inside the brackets
  • square brackets - total number of stitches on the row

Tips:

  • If you’re unfamiliar with any crochet stitches used in this pattern, try searching YouTube for “stitch name + tutorial.” You’ll find plenty of beginner-friendly, detailed video guides.

  • Rows without a mention of a chain between them are worked in continuous rounds. To keep track, use a stitch marker to mark the last stitch of each row.

  • In crochet, yarn over (YO) and yarn under (YU) refer to how the yarn is wrapped around the hook when making stitches. Yarn over (bringing the yarn over the hook from back to front) is the standard technique and is used throughout all my patterns unless stated otherwise. Yarn under (bringing the yarn under the hook from front to back) creates tighter stitches and a firmer fabric. Using yarn under instead of yarn over may result in slight differences, such as a smaller final piece, more visible slip stitches, and a firmer, less soft texture.
