Spooky season ahead + free pattern

Let the spooky season begin! At Hoooked, we love Halloween, so naturally we love Halloween decorations! It’s time for some crochet patterns while watching our favourite scary movies. Boooooo!

You can find our adorable not-so-scary Halloween DIY Kits and some free patterns from our blog - Pumpkin Lantern, Spider and Spider Web.

We’re sure you’ll love to make them. They’ll be the perfect decoration to add to your home. Mix them with real pumpkins, masks, and candles and you will have the perfect scenario for a spooky night.

And today we want to share with you another free crochet pattern - the Witch’s Hat!

This pattern is quite simple and a great all-in-one colour, or choose your favourite Halloween colour scheme and customise it!

You can use it as an accessory by adding a hair clip or headband; make a garland of witches hats, spiders and pumpkins to decorate your home, or just put it in your already-made amigurumi so everyone enters the mood.
