Halloween Crochet Patterns (Free Charts)

Four spooky-cute motifs — pumpkin, ghost, bat, and candy corn — charted, counted, and small enough to finish before October 31.

Halloween crochet tends to split into two camps: horrifying 150-color realism, or an orange blob that's technically a pumpkin. These four charts sit in the sweet spot — original pixel designs that are unmistakably a jack-o'-lantern, a ghost, a bat, and a candy corn, but small enough (22–34 stitches wide) to finish in an evening or two and simple enough for a first colorwork project.

Every motif comes in two colorways: the classic Halloween palette, and a softer blush-and-cream set for the pastel-goth inclined. Same charts, same stitch counts — only the palette changes. Sew them onto blanket squares, trick-or-treat totes, or a garland of spooky little pillows.

A smiling jack-o'-lantern with triangle eyes, two little teeth, and pink cheeks. The shaded side ribs give it that round-pumpkin look with only two oranges.

Wide scalloped wings, perky ears, tiny fangs, and two dangly feet. The wings use a darker charcoal-purple than the body, so the silhouette reads from across the room.

Same chart in two pinks — like a candy corn that wandered into a strawberry patch. The easiest of the four motifs and a great first chart for kids.

How to crochet it

  1. Gather your materials

    Worsted weight (#4) yarn, a 5.0 mm (H/8) hook, a tapestry needle, and scissors. Each motif uses 6–7 colors (including the background) and only 35–45 yards total — these free Halloween crochet patterns are perfect stash-busters, and every legend's stitch counts tell you exactly how much of each color to pull.

  2. Check the finished size

    In single crochet at a typical 16 sc × 18 rows = 10 cm gauge, the charts come out 14–21 cm wide: the candy corn (22 × 22) is the smallest, the bat (34 × 19) the widest. Worked as C2C, each cell becomes one block and the motifs come out roughly 40–60% larger — pillow-front size.

  3. Work the chart from the bottom up

    One square = one single crochet, from the bottom row up: odd rows are the right side (read right to left), even rows the wrong side (read left to right). The biggest chart (the bat) is only 646 stitches — one evening per motif for most crocheters. C2C instead? Start at the bottom-right corner and work diagonally — the same Halloween crochet charts work for both.

  4. Change colors cleanly

    Finish the last stitch of the old color with the new one, and drop the yarn instead of carrying it more than 3–4 stitches. The faces are all small 2–3-stitch details, so small bobbins keep the backs tidy.

  5. Add a border and finish

    Work one round of single crochet in the background color around each panel, with 3 sc in each corner, then weave in the ends with the tapestry needle. A light steam block squares everything up before assembly.

  6. Turn them into Halloween everything

    Sew the motifs onto blanket squares, trick-or-treat bags, or beanies, or string several into a garland. Make the full set — pumpkin, ghost, bat, and candy corn — for a themed Halloween blanket; the shared palette means classic and pastel colorways still mix.

Frequently asked questions

Are these Halloween crochet patterns free?

Yes — all eight charts (four motifs, two colorways each) are free for personal use. They're original designs drawn for this site, not traced characters, so there are no copyright grey areas.

Which Halloween chart is best for beginners?

Start with the candy corn (22 × 22 stitches, big connected color bands) or the ghost (26 × 19, mostly one color). Both teach color changes on forgiving shapes — most beginners finish one in an evening.

Can I use these charts for C2C?

Yes — each cell becomes one C2C block worked diagonally. In C2C with worsted yarn the motifs come out roughly 40–60% larger, a nice size for pillow fronts or trick-or-treat tote panels.

What yarn and hook should I use?

Worsted-weight (#4) yarn with a 5.0 mm (H/8) hook. Each motif needs only 35–45 yards total, so these are perfect stash-busters — the stitch counts in every legend tell you exactly how much of each color to pull.

How do I turn the motifs into a Halloween blanket?

Work each motif as a square on a matching background, then join. The pumpkin, ghost, bat, and candy corn share a palette (orange, cream, charcoal, pink), so mixing classic and pastel colorways in one blanket still looks intentional.

Can I make my own Halloween chart from a drawing?

Yes — upload a clear drawing or photo to the free pattern generator and it converts it into a counted stitch grid. Bold outlines and flat colors convert best; keep it to 5–7 colors at these small grid sizes.
