Crochet Witch Doll for Halloween Decor

Detailed Recipe

Materials:

• Worsted weight yarn (black, purple, pink, brown, orange, green)
• Crochet hook (3.5mm)
• Stitch markers
• Fiberfill stuffing
• Yarn needle
• Scissors
• Safety eyes
• Small buttons (optional for decoration)

Instructions:

1. Head and Body:
   • Begin with skin-tone yarn. Start with a magic ring and work in single crochet (sc) to create the head. Increase stitches to shape a round head.
   • Switch to the chosen color for the body and work down in continuous rounds, decreasing as you go to shape the torso.
   • Stuff the body as you work, using fiberfill.
2. Arms and Legs:
   • Crochet arms and legs separately using the same technique. Begin with a magic ring, and increase, then decrease stitches to form the limbs.
   • Attach the arms and legs to the body securely.
3. Witch Hat:
   • Using black yarn, crochet a wide-brimmed hat, beginning with a magic ring and increasing gradually to form the brim.
   • Decorate with small crocheted flowers and leaves in orange, purple, and green for a festive touch.
4. Broom:
   • Use brown yarn for the broomstick. Chain and work single crochets to form the stick.
   • For the bristles, use yellow yarn. Attach yarn strands to the end of the broomstick and tie them together to give the appearance of a broom.
5. Finishing Touches:
   • Add safety eyes to the head and stitch on a smile. Embroider small details like eyebrows or cheeks using pink yarn.
   • Sew the witch hat to the head and secure the broom to the doll’s hand.
