Crochet pumpkins aren’t just for amigurumi! This festive Halloween coaster pattern uses tapestry crochet to create a smiling jack-o’-lantern – perfect for spooky season decorating. This is a premium PDF pattern, available in my shops.

The Ghoster Coaster:

I love the little ghost on this coaster and we had so much fun coming up with its name! After I published the pattern, a bunch of readers reached out to say they thought it looked like a Pac-Man ghost. Some made theirs in classic black and white for Halloween, while others used bright colors so they could keep them out all year long. It’s a quick, beginner-friendly Halloween crochet coaster with lots of personality.

Hocus Poke-us Halloween Cactus:

This one could easily fit in the amigurumi section, but I’m including it here because I use my Hocus Poke-us Halloween Cactus as part of my home decor every year.

This is a premium PDF pattern, available in my shops.

Quick & Easy Crochet Beard:

​This free crochet pattern is available in 3 different sizes and includes a video tutorial.  If it gets really cold on Halloween where you are (like it does here), it’s also a great way to keep your face warm while you’re out and about.  I’ve personally worn mine the last 3 Halloweens and it’s not only warm but it’s a big hit with kids and adults alike.
