This time we have a bat, monster and spider to add to your Halloween decorations this year. These also make perfect little gifts when an alternative to sweets is needed!
I still have a few more ideas for these but I think they will have to wait for next year!
The crochet pattern for these is free over on Patreon for my Patreon subscribers.
The Halloween makes are continuing here at the moment – I’ve still got a few more I want to try and fit in before I run out of time too!.
Next up are some mini Halloween decorations – these are perfect for putting up as decorations for Halloween and are also great for little Halloween gifts.

Halloween is rapidly approaching so I have decided it is time to focus on some Halloween themed makes and patterns.
First up is a pattern for a mini Halloween pumpkin – perfect for decorating with this Halloween. You could also make a few of these mini pumpkins and attach them to make some bunting.
Since making my crochetR2-D2 I have been thinking about making some crochet lightsabers but I wasn’t too sure whether I would be able to make something that would look ok. After much deliberation I thought I would give it a go and see what I could come up with. After a while of researching lightsabers (I never realised there were so many different ones!) I got cracking on making the lightsaber using a rough design I sketched up based on some I had seen. After completing it I was very pleased with how it came out, so much so in fact I’ve decided to make a couple of other slightly different ones including a dark green, light green and mini lightsaber.
Definitely one of my favourite things to make, a Granny square can be used for all sorts of crochet projects, from blankets to cushions to table mats. I often use these on my Minecraft makes as they are perfect for creating the block effect needed.
A giant granny square is a perfect ‘quick make’ blanket – to make one just keep continuing the rounds, change the colour each round or every couple of rounds to add a bit of detail.
