I have designed all 4 main characters in wizard of Oz books as bookmark patterns. I had a request for the wicked witch of the west and Glinda the good witch. Here is my version of the wicked witch of the west for everyone who loves these stories. Do you love Halloween and love to decorate for this event? This would make an excellent party favor.

The crochet stitches include, sc, hdc, dc, tr and sl st and front loop and back loop work. The pattern includes description of abbreviations and complete instructions with picture tutorials.

Boye Steel Crochet hook size 1 (2.25mm). This is a larger size hook than usually used with thread crochet. Size 1 hook gives the needed gauge to make the correct size of witch and makes working with thread crochet easier for those who are not comfortable with thread.
