21 Halloween Crochet DIY Ideas
Prepare your yarn and hooks. These ideas will add fun to every corner.
Car Mirror Hanging
I love adding handmade touches to my car, and these crochet pumpkin hangings are my favorite this season. One is just a head, and the other has a full body—they look so cute swinging side by side.
They’re super easy to make and bring a Halloween feel to every drive. I always go for bold orange yarn and black thread to make the faces stand out.
Dog Sweater
Do you dress up your dog for Halloween, too? I do it every year, and making crochet sweaters just for them is my favorite part.
This year, I made a Batman-style one and a bright orange one with tiny bats—both turned out so fun and cute!
These sweaters keep my pups warm and festive at the same time. I use soft yarn so they feel comfy, and I always add fun Halloween colors or symbols.
Bouquet
Since I enjoy trying new Halloween crafts, I make a crochet ghost bouquet instead of the usual pumpkins. The smiling ghosts with bright flowers always make my table look fun.
It adds a playful feel to any space. I use leftover yarn for the flowers and plain white yarn for the ghosts.
Cup Sleeve
With a crochet hook and some yarn, I can turn any plain cup into a festive one. Tiny bats, ghosts, or pumpkins make it extra playful.
This little sleeve keeps my hands warm and adds fun to cool fall mornings. It also makes my drink feel more special.
It only takes a short time to finish. I enjoy seeing it on my mug every day.
Dishcloth
These fun crochet dishcloths bring a festive feel to my kitchen right away. A happy pumpkin and a silly ghost always make me smile while I clean.
They’re useful and fun to make, which makes chores feel less dull. I also crochet a few extras as gifts.
Friends always smile when they get one. It’s a simple way to share some seasonal joy.
Door Decor
A festive door always sets the mood. I crochet wreaths using pumpkins, ghosts, and tiny spiders to decorate my entryway.
The bright yarn and fun shapes make it stand out right away. It’s a quick way to add something playful and bold.
Guests notice it as soon as they walk up. I always hear kind compliments without saying a word.
Earrings
Cute earrings make any outfit more fun, don’t they? I crochet tiny pumpkins and skulls to add something special to my Halloween look.
The pumpkins add bright color, and the skulls feel bold and cool. Both are super light and comfy to wear all day.
Making these small pieces is quick and satisfying. I get style and creativity all in one!
Headband
These crochet headbands are one of my favorite things to make for the kids. My nieces wear them all October with the biggest grins.
I make a few tiny ghosts and pumpkins, and one with cheerful white pumpkins. They’re soft, easy to wear, and super cute for fall.
They don’t take much yarn, and they’re quick to finish. The joy on their faces makes every stitch worth it.
I mix up the colors and expressions to keep them fun. It’s a small project that brings big smiles.
Napkin Rings
I like to dress up my table with crochet napkin rings for Halloween dinners. The bright pumpkins and playful faces always stand out against the napkins.
They work up fast and fit any color theme I pick. I love seeing guests smile when they spot them before the meal begins.
Table Mat
These Halloween table mats make my kitchen feel more festive right away. I crochet spiderwebs in bold colors like orange and purple to mix fun with function.
Consider adding a pumpkin face or a big spider. This gives them extra personality. They’re easy to use under snacks, candles, or decorations, and they always get noticed.
Wall Hanging
Want a Halloween decoration that really stands out? I crochet wall hangings like this black cat with bats and a golden moon—it always makes people pause and look.
The bold shapes and rich colors work so well together. I hang it by my door or in the hallway for a fun, festive feel.
It doesn’t take long to finish. And it adds a strong Halloween look with just one piece.
Bandana
There’s something fun about wearing a festive bandana in October. I crochet mine with pumpkin faces, bones, and candy corn colors to make it stand out.
It’s easy to fold and tie, and it adds a cool detail to any outfit. I use soft yarn so it feels good and stays comfortable all day.
Bunting
Decorating with crochet bunting always brings a bit of fun to my space. I make pumpkins, cats, and ghosts using bright yarn and simple shapes.
The mix of colors and faces keeps things playful. Whenever I walk past, it feels more like Halloween. It doesn’t take long to make, and I enjoy seeing my work hanging up where everyone can enjoy it.
Doily
These Halloween doilies are some of the most fun pieces I’ve ever made. I use thin black yarn to shape the web, then add bright pumpkins around the edge. The middle one with a smile makes me grin every time.
I place mine under candles or snacks during October. It adds color and surprise without taking up space. If you enjoy small, detailed work, this one’s worth it!
Gnome
Halloween gnomes always make me smile. Their tall hats, little noses, and bright clothes feel so playful.
I love adding bats, buttons, or stars to match the season. The mix of colors makes each one look full of life.
They sit by my window or near the door. Kids always point them out with a laugh. They’re super fun to make and even more fun to show off!
Keychains
Who says Halloween crochet has to be big to be fun? These little keychains bring me so much joy.
I carry mine on my backpack all October—a tiny jack-o’-lantern in a witch hat and a black cat with the cutest face. The colors pop, and the shapes always get noticed.
They’re quick to make and use very little yarn. I always crochet a few extra as gifts—they’re too cute not to share!
Pot Holders
The skull pot holders instantly caught my eye. The bold colors and sharp contrast look amazing in my kitchen, especially during Halloween.
I usually hang them on a hook by the stove—they work as decoration and come in handy when I’m baking pumpkin bread or heating up soup.
They’re fun to make and don’t take long. I keep going back to this pattern every October!
Pumpkin
Have you ever made a pumpkin with a smile? I keep this one on my shelf because it makes the room feel playful. The round shape and happy face bring a little cheer to my space.
Crocheting pumpkins gives me room to play with color and size. I use soft yarn and keep the shapes simple so they’re quick to finish.
Purse
Need something playful and easy to carry? I go with crochet pumpkin purses every October because they’re fun to make and always get smiles. Bold yarn and goofy faces make each one feel unique.
My niece still talks about the one I gave her last fall. It’s great for holding candy, tiny toys, or just making someone laugh. I always enjoy making mine a little different each time.

I gave a few as gifts, too—they were a hit. They’re quick to make, useful every day, and add something special without any fuss.
Shawl
Looking for something festive but still easy to wear? I always reach for my crochet shawl when the weather cools down. The warm mix of orange, cream, and brown fits right in with fall.
It’s soft on my skin and light enough to layer. I wear it to school events, dinners, and even while passing out candy—always feels just right.
