Halloween Crochet Ideas

Looking for some crocheted Halloween Ideas?  Try renting/buying Nicki Trench’s book SuperScary Crochet: 35 Gruesome Patterns to Sink your Hook Into, which boasts that ‘these toys and accessories are murderously macabre rather than the usual cute and cuddly.’ I recently rented this book from my local library to see what kind of fun decorations could be made for this upcoming season. While I don’t think I have time to work on any of these little projects this year, I thought I’d share them with the rest of you. It’s a fun little pattern book to pick up because each of the patterns has a little story behind how the object you’re crocheting has become haunted or evil!

Here’s a picture of ‘Willy the Wily Wolf’ scarf from her book, this would definitely be a conversation starter.

Or perhaps you could make this pattern...

Make this pattern from the book, "Bubbles In Trouble."

There are a bunch of other great ideas in the book too, from making the killer tomatoes to more creeped out dolls and vampires.

Crocheted Spider Web

Yesterday was our company Halloween party where everyone had the option of dressing up and/or decorating their work areas. I was asked by one of my co-workers if I could crochet her a black circle, since she wanted to make a spider web. She then added the rest of the web with a crocheted chain stitch and regular yarn.

She isn't trying to look gansta, she was putting her
arms out to show off the extra legs she attached to
her shirt to make her look like a spider.

I think the finished project turned out nicely and lots of people were very impressed with it. She won an 'honorable mention for individual space decoration' (which yes, a prize was given for that), and was even asked to make a few more for other people's kids! After walking around the agency I was impressed by all the different Halloween decorations and costumes, and even stumbled upon this cute crocheted doll that reminded me of the ones my grandma used to make. I believe this doll is supposed to be the godmother/fairy for Cinderella.

I did get a few looks for taking this picture.
