The Amigurumi Little Witch Mary is a charming piece that combines the magic of crochet with a Halloween theme. Perfect for decorating your home or as a gift, this little witch features carefully crafted details like her pointed hat and decorative pumpkin, making it a fun project for crocheters of all levels.
As a passionate crocheter and lover of all things whimsical and magical, I couldn’t resist designing and stitching up this charming Amigurumi Little Witch Mary. She’s sweet, spooky, and absolutely spellbinding — the kind of little doll that makes your heart flutter the moment you sew on her tiny hat. If you’re like me and get giddy over tiny details and cute faces, you’re going to fall in love with Mary just as much as I did.
From the start, I wanted Mary to have that perfect “cute witch” vibe — not too scary, but full of charm and a little sparkle of mystery. She’s small enough to be a keychain or desk companion but packed with personality. Her oversized witch hat, braided hair, and pumpkin-inspired dress really bring her to life. Every stitch made me smile — and honestly, that’s why I crochet. There’s something so joyful about creating little characters with yarn and hook.
Yarns & Colors:
For Mary’s base, I used a soft beige cotton yarn for her face and limbs. I love how cotton holds the stitches nicely and gives amigurumi that neat, defined look. Her hair is made with caramel brown, perfect for fall vibes, and I added two little braids that peek out from under her hat — because, let’s face it, a witch with braids is instantly more adorable. The dress is a rich pumpkin orange, with lilac accents around the collar and hem. These little pops of color make her feel festive and Halloween-ready.
Step-by-Step Guide for Amigurumi Little Witch Mary
Creating Amigurumi Little Witch Mary involves combining crochet techniques with attention to detail to bring this unique character to life. The use of traditional Halloween colors, such as black and orange, along with accessories like the pumpkin, adds a special touch.
Mary’s hat might be my favorite part of the whole project. It’s tall, a little floppy, and stitched in deep purple. I added a tiny crocheted buckle on the front for detail — you could use a small button too! It sits just slightly tilted on her head, which gives her that playful, mischievous personality. You know, like she just flew in on her broomstick and is about to cast a pumpkin spice spell.
Amigurumi Little Witch Mary. Finishing Touches:
One of the reasons I love amigurumi so much is the finishing. After stitching the pieces together, I embroidered two black eyes and gave her a soft blush with a little pink pastel. I added a teeny-tiny crocheted broom to her hand, and voilà — Mary was ready to enchant the world!
This project was such a treat from start to finish. It’s beginner-friendly if you’ve got some experience with amigurumi shaping, but still fun and satisfying for more advanced crocheters. The pattern is worked mostly in single crochet, in the round, and the components are all small and manageable.
Tips from my Hook to Yours:
- Use stitch markers — her pieces are small, and it helps to keep track of where you are.
- Stuff her firmly, especially the hat, so it keeps its shape.
- When assembling, pin everything in place first so you get her expression just right.
- If gifting, try sewing a tiny loop on top to turn her into an ornament or charm.
