Hey there, fellow crocheters and spooky season lovers! I’m so excited to share one of my absolute favorite seasonal projects: the Halloween Witch Amigurumi Keychain. This little cutie is my go-to make every October — part festive decor, part magical charm, and 100% handmade love.
As someone who lives and breathes yarn all year long, Halloween gives me the perfect excuse to mix crochet with imagination, whimsy, and just a pinch of witchy flair. And trust me, once you make this mini witch, you’ll want to carry her around long after Halloween is over!
Creating a Halloween witch amigurumi keychain is a perfect way to bring a spooky and cute accessory into your life. This little crochet witch, with her classic Halloween charm, can be attached to your keys, bags, or even given as a delightful treat to friends during the Halloween season.

There’s just something about Halloween that makes my creative heart sing. Maybe it’s the color palette — rich purples, deep blacks, candy corn orange, and pops of green — or maybe it’s the way even grown-ups get to play dress-up. I wanted this keychain to embody that fun, playful spirit, with a dash of hocus pocus.
So, I designed this tiny witch to be bold, a little spooky, and totally adorable. Her tiny hat is tilted just right, her smile is mischievous, and her outfit? Pure Halloween magic!
How to Crochet a Halloween Witch Amigurumi Keychain
Making a Halloween witch amigurumi keychain is a fun and festive crochet project. This tiny witch, complete with her pointed hat and broomstick, embodies the playful spirit of Halloween.
Here’s everything I used to bring her to life:
- Worsted weight yarn in:
- Black (hat and shoes)
- Purple or orange (dress)
- Light beige or peach (skin)
- Green, lime, or candy corn colors for accessories
- 2.25 mm crochet hook (I like my stitches nice and tight)
- 6mm safety eyes
- Polyfil stuffing
- Tapestry needle
- Tiny star or pumpkin charm (for that Halloween sparkle!)
- Keychain ring or lobster clasp
Optional: I also used a little blush yarn and fabric glue to add rosy cheeks!
Let’s talk about the fun part: bringing her to life stitch by stitch. Like most of my amigurumi keychains, she’s worked in a chibi style — big head, small body — because who can resist that cuteness?
Head & Body:
I crocheted the head and body in one piece, starting from the top of the head. After a few rounds of increases, I filled it with stuffing, added safety eyes, and shaped a tiny smile with black thread. Her body flares out slightly to create a mini dress effect — no extra pieces needed!
Arms & Legs:
These are quick little tubes. I made the arms in skin color and the legs in black for “boots.” I like to stuff the legs lightly and leave the arms unstuffed for flexibility. Sewed them on securely — because keychains get tugged on a lot!
Dress & Accessories:
I added a ruffled edge at the bottom of the dress in orange. You can also crochet a removable mini cape or apron. One of my favorite touches? A teensy candy corn sewn to her belly. Instant festive vibes!
Hat:
Ah yes, the witch’s hat — her crowning glory! I made it pointy, with a brim that curves up just slightly. You can leave it plain or decorate it with a crocheted buckle, some embroidered stars, or even tiny felt bats.
Keychain Attachment:
Before closing the top of the hat, I added a yarn loop for the keychain ring. Just slip a jump ring through and attach your clasp. Done!
