In this roundup, I’ve gathered the best Halloween crochet patterns for home décor and wearables — everything from pumpkin pillows and spiderweb wall hangings to cozy accessories that’ll have you looking hauntingly stylish.
Whether you’re a beginner with a hook or a seasoned crocheter looking for your next fall project, these patterns are sure to make your Halloween celebrations extra special.
Why You’ll Love Crocheting for Halloween
Crochet and Halloween are a match made in crafty heaven. With yarn in hand, you can turn your home into a spooky sanctuary or create wearable pieces that are as cozy as they are festive.
Here’s why so many makers love to crochet for Halloween:
- 🎃 It’s stash-friendly: Great excuse to use up leftover orange, black, purple, and white yarns.
- 🕸️ It’s personal: Handmade decorations and accessories have that charming, one-of-a-kind touch.
- 👻 It’s versatile: You can make cute, creepy, funny, or elegant pieces — whatever fits your Halloween style.
- 🪡 It’s reusable: Unlike store-bought décor, crochet creations come back year after year.
If you missed it, I also shared a collection of 37 Spooky-Cute Halloween Amigurumi Patterns — full of ghosts, pumpkins, bats, and ghoulish little friends. Pair some of those adorable makes with the projects below, and you’ll have a handmade Halloween that’s equal parts cozy and creative.

Supplies You Might Need for Crochet Halloween Projects
Before diving into your next project, make sure you have your Halloween toolkit ready:
- Yarn: Stick with classic Halloween shades — orange, black, white, grey, and purple — or mix in metallics and sparkles for extra flair.
- Hooks: Most patterns here use 4mm–6mm (G–J), but check the pattern’s gauge first.
- Decor touches: Think buttons, beads, felt, or even glow-in-the-dark yarn for that extra boo-factor.
