Cute and spooky crochet cat applique pattern to incorporate into your Halloween décor.

or you can also find it at the bottom of this page.

You can use pretty much any yarn, or hook size, to make this project. 

Just bear in mind that using a larger hook or yarn size will make a larger applique, and using a smaller yarn or hook size will make a smaller applique. 

Using a thicker yarn, like worsted weight yarn, will create a shape that’s more dense;

but using a thinner yarn, like a lace weight yarn, will result in a more lacy shape.

So use whatever size you think works best for your project.
This applique uses very little yarn, so it’s a perfect use for scraps.

Crochet Unicorn Horn Pattern/Video Tutorial

How to crochet a unicorn horn! I made a costume version for myself, and a small doll-sized version for my unicorn amigurumi doll. Find the pony doll I used for my unicorn here: https://youtu.be/1g9OAY6187M

This is the pattern for the costume version. The doll version is just the tip of the costume version. For that one, start with a chain of 8 instead of 24, and then only do the steps highlighted in blue. Video tutorial is available on  my youtube channel, and will be at the bottom of this page.

Costume Unicorn Horn Written Pattern

1. Ch 24 to create foundation ch. (24 sts total)
2. Ch 3 for 1^st st, into 3^rd ch from hk, tc 1. Then, around foundation ch, tc 30 more. Pull just made sts to bottom of ch as far as possible, bunching sts. Continue making progressively shorter sts toward top of horn: htc 32, then pull sts to bottom of foundation ch, bunching sts; dc 32, then pull sts to bottom of ch; hdc 32, then pull sts to bottom of ch; sc 32, bunching sts at bottom of ch, until entire ch is covered by sts and a spiral is formed (160 sts total)
3. Add a tip to the horn: ch 4, sl st in 2^nd ch from hk and rem 2 chs. Sl st around post of last sc on foundation ch to end work, cut off long tail of yarn.
4. Once spiral is made, use craft wire to keep the horn standing up: twist crocheted spiral around wire, so that wire is threaded through middle of coil. Start at top of horn, to make sure end of wire matches up with tip of horn. To keep spiral in place on wire, pin tip of horn to loop at end of wire. Then begin to twist yarn around wire. Once the wire is threaded through spiral, tighten coil around wire by twisting coil more tightly. At the bottom of the spiral, twist wire into a circle that matches circumference of bottom of horn. Use tail end of yarn to fasten wire in place, and to stitch over any remaining visible wire.

Crochet Bunny Ears Pattern and Free Tutorial!

Crochet costume bunny ears pattern. I made a pair of large, wearable ears, but you can use this technique to make a pair of ears in any size. You can find this pattern in my Ravelry store! Buy it now! Or check out the free video tutorial at the bottom of the page.

 I used Loops & Threads Impeccable in Soft Pink for the inner ear, and Red Heart Super Saver in White for the outer ear. But you can use any color you like. After making the ears, they can be either worn with pins in the hair, which is what I did for the pictures shown, or they can be sewn onto another project.

To pin in my hair, I used one barrette each at the back of the ear, and two bobby pins at each side of the ear. I just stuck the pins straight through the holes in the stitches. Also, my hair is really short, so I’m sure it’d be really easy to do if you have longer hair. 

Or you could sew the ears to a beanie, hoodie or cowl, or to a doll.

I also used craft wire to make a wire skeleton for the ears, so they can stand straight up.

Santa or Witch Hat Tutorial

Find the video tutorial at the bottom of the page.

Pointed hat made to fit my basic amigurumi doll pattern, or my realistic body amigurumi doll pattern, but easy to customize to any size doll, or even to a full size hat for a person.

Use this pattern to make a Santa hat, a wizard hat, a witch hat, or an elf hat.

For the witch/wizard hat, a thicker yarn (Aran weight) is better, because it will give more support to the cone shape to make it stand up easier.

For the Santa/elf hat, a thinner yarn (crochet thread) works better, because the hat won’t be as stiff and will lay down easier.

I also used Aran weight yarn for a full size Santa hat.

Crochet Skeleton Video Tutorial + Pattern

Crochet Skeleton Pattern available now for $6 in my Ravelry store! Buy it now

Realistic amigurumi skeleton doll pattern is a little advanced. If you’re familiar with making amigurumi dolls, this pattern will be fairly simple. But for a beginner it can be complex.

Use Aran weight yarn in white for the bulk of the doll, and a little bit of black Aran weight yarn for some of the detail. Worsted weight may be used but you may want to use a smaller hook (like a size B) to maintain the proper tension, and the doll might come out smaller. I used about a fourth of a small skein of white Red Heart yarn for my doll. And I used scrap black yarn for the black parts.

If you want you could also use crochet thread or embroidery floss to sew on more detail.

Realistic looking wolf costume ears made with crochet. Making this pattern in super bulky weight rather than regular bulky weight results in a sturdier, and more fluff-able, pair of ears.

To get the realistic furry look, I just lightly brushed my yarn after finishing my pieces using a hair brush. But if you prefer the fuzzy look of Homespun un-brushed, you don’t have to brush your yarn, you can just leave it as-is.

I couldn’t find a Homespun Thick & Quick in a shade I liked for the black part, but if you prefer you can use a different type of bulky weight yarn than homespun, such as Wool Ease Thick & Quick. It will work the same, it just won’t have that fuzzy look un-brushed. You could just brush the yarn, however. 

Or you could just use 2 strands of regular bulky Homespun at the same time for the bulky grey/brown, and black parts if you want that homespun look (which is what I did).

Pattern has photos, and there is a video tutorial. 

I’ve made several sizes using different sized hooks, and yarns. The smallest size (which came to about 20 inches around,) was made using a “B” hook and worsted weight yarn. 
The 2 middle size (which came to about 21 and 22 inches) were made using a “B” and “D” hook and Aran weight yarn. 
The largest size (which came to about 23 inches) was made using an “E” hook and Aran weight yarn. 
I used 2 different colors of Aran or worsted weight yarns (black and white). I only used about half a skein of white yarn, and used some scraps of black yarn, because it didn’t require much black. I used between 100 and 160 yards of wht (depending on the size) and between 20 and 40 yards of black.The Aran brand I used was Red Heart brand, and the worsted weight I used was Caron Simply Soft, because I had it on hand, but if you prefer a different brand you could use any. 
The last part of the pattern is a bit complex but there is a video tutorial you can watch to help with some of the more tricky bits. Find that tutorial here:
