Notes and Abbreviations for This Crochet Amigurumi Halloween Pattern

Before starting this crochet amigurumi Halloween pattern, keep these notes in mind:

• Work in spirals. Do not join, slip stitch, or turn unless otherwise stated in the pattern.
• Use a stitch marker at the beginning of each round to mark the first stitch of every round.
• Alternative for stitch marker: use a different colored yarn placed into the first stitch of every row/round as you go.
• Alternative for magic ring: make chain 2, work 6sc in first chain.
• Finished size is about 19cm tall = 7.5 inches, using the yarn and hook stated in the pattern.

Tips for Making the Best Crochet Amigurumi Halloween Doll

• Stuff as you go on the legs and arms — it’s much harder to stuff evenly after the piece is closed on any crochet amigurumi Halloween doll this size.
• Use stitch markers religiously; this crochet amigurumi Halloween pattern works entirely in spirals with no joining rounds.
• Take your time with the FLO/BLO color changes on the legs, arms, and body — this is what gives this crochet amigurumi Halloween witch her crisp color-blocked look.
• Try the doll’s wig and hat on before finishing the last round, exactly as the pattern instructs, so your crochet amigurumi Halloween doll fits perfectly.
