Who else can’t wait for Halloween? Thanks to the spooktacular creativity that crafters demonstrate, it’s one of the best times of the year – after all, what is more fun than vibrant colours, tasty treats and excited trick-or-treaters in costumes? In fact, the day doesn’t need to be all over-the-top scares and hyper-realistic creepy decorations – sometimes, the best way to celebrate the day is with some cute cuddly toys!
We’ve rounded up some of the most adorable Halloween crochet toys out there, all for you to enjoy! Why not crochet one or two to hold while watching a delightful movie with friends or family? Alternatively, they’re great for comforting little ones who are scared by Halloween costumes and decorations, to show them that the ‘spooky’ theme isn’t so bad. Several of these patterns are written up with American abbreviations, so if you fancy making them, be sure to translate them with our handy guide.
1. Zombie and Devil Dolls
This mischievous duo might look like they’re up to no good, but they’re definitely more cheeky than scary. These pals are based on the same pattern, so you’ll get the hang of them in no time. That leaves more time to get creative and experiment with different facial expressions, cuts and bruises!

6. Sitting Cats
A black cat is a witch’s ultimate companion, but these cute felines bring anything but bad luck. Autumnal shades of burnt orange and grey create the perfect Halloween trio. Try adding a pipe cleaner into the tail to make it bendable - the position of a tail can add instant personality to these cats!

7. Sharlotte the Spider
This sweet critter will be a welcome guest in your house this October, but watch out for her yarn shaped webs! Sharlotte is crocheted in continuous spirals, so to keep track of each round, try using a stitch marker or different colour yarn.

9. Mini Witch and her Pussycat
Don’t be afraid if this witchy duo casts a spell on your crafting, it’ll only help your makes turn out even better! This tiny cat is only 1.5 inches tall, making him the perfect companion for a mini amigurumi witch. Be sure to sew up the cat’s base tightly so he can sit on a flat surface (or broomstick!).
