Best Witch Crochet Patterns : DIY Crafts

Crochet this little witch via Teri Crew’s Etsy Shop WoolandWhims only $4.97

Well if people are going to crochet cute little witch things, then I’d like them to do it with style and pizazz. Here are my top five favorite witch crochet patterns. You can find them all on Etsy, and all are digital downloads. Meaning, you pay for the pattern, and crochet it yourself. Nothing like adding your own magic on it, perhaps changing a color of yarn to personalize it your very own way, right?

#1  First up above, we have the adorable Witch crochet pattern offered by Teri Crews, you can download it at WoolandWhims for only $4.99. She says, “This sweet witch uses your favorite worsted weight, basic crochet stitches and a size G (4mm) crochet hook. To finish your witch you will need to know how to crochet in the round and basic crochet stitches such as single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet and treble crochet.” I have to admit, it looks like a few friends my gran may have known from Salem….

Adorable Witch in Amigurumi Style at MadsBear $4.99

#2 In second place we have this cute witch who should have brushed her teeth, but now it’s too late….Madsbear has this great Amigurumi Halloween Witch Crochet pattern, in case you are wondering what Amigurumi is, according to Wikipedia, it’s a Japansese style of fashioning via knitting or crochet small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. It’s personable and cute, reminds me of the classic scary witch.  “Boo!”

Long live the fat witches this cute litlte damsel is only $5 for the pattern at Etsy shop bvoe668

#3 Long live the pudgy witch. I mean really, all these Hollywood shows want to use the skinny-minnies, what about us pudgy witches?  Well now you can crochet your own! Thank you to Bvoe668 on Etsy who has this plump little pattern for $5!

Witch crochet pattern is cute and will sit on the window sill, find it at KTB Designs on Etsy

#4  For only $5.78 you can download this adorable 11″ witch pattern from KTB Designs on Etsy.  The only thing better than that is she comes with her fuzzy black cat friend, cauldron and newt who appears to be (urgh) missing his eye. I suppose the witch forgot to put the “regrow your eye” spell on the newt, but never the less she’s cute and adorable and will keep you crocheting for awhile.

Witch crochet pattern, “Tabatha” sold at Angels Crochet Too, on Etsy, only $5.99

#5  Well I for one am glad that Angels Crochet Too would offer this great witch pattern. Approx 15″ from hat to boots is this cute “Tabatha Witch” download for only $5.99.

Crochet is fun, inexpensive and can be done while waiting in the car to pick up the kids on the bus stop, or sitting outside on a warm summer day appreciating all the sun and sky has to offer, while crocheting away.

Witches Wiccans Make the News in Anchorage

Kudos to Victoria Barber who put a story in the newspaper of a real live “Witches Ball” taking place in Anchorage, Alaska back in 2013. Not only did she interview the witches in charge but put a link to the ticket sales page.  Apparently the group got together on a MeetUp site and decided to host and throw parties.  Coming “out” in the online Newspaper was a big deal.  Perhaps this will set a precedent for other witches.

Update: The site has been purged of the article, perhaps due to it’s age, but luckily I have notes for you.

I read four take-aways from the article that I am sure the public is going to need to know.

1. Witches are scared to come out of their broom closets to their bosses, family or friends.

Sadly I never understood this. Witches, you need to get on your merry broomstick and go talk to a gay guy who has come out and ask him how to do it.

2.  In the official meetup group 120 members strong, only 50 are active.

This just goes to show that over half the witches are hiding!

3. Thank you for the clarification “All Wiccans are witches but not all witches are Wiccans,” which is often so misunderstood.

If I had a dollar for every time I had to repeat this I’d be a rich old witch.

4.  The witch says to Barber, “Wiccans aren’t out to convert anyone, or even talk about their beliefs.”

Um, hello, they are not the Jehovah Witnesses. They don’t go door to door, and believe it or not, they won’t turn you into a rat.
