Halloween Wreath Crochet Pattern by Divine Debris

Hi there! So… seeing as how this is my last post of September, I thought I’d finish up with a bang! Who’s already decorating for Halloween? As you know, I’ve been pumping out Fall designs but this is fully fun, silly, and adorable Halloween (which is my favorite type of Halloween).

I was pretty inspired to make this by Sarah at Repeat Crafter Me and her adorable Halloween door wreath that I wanted to make my own. I think my favorite thing about this week’s pattern is that you get so many opportunities to customize the end result, make a billion candy corns, or give it 4 legs… you get to be as creative as you want. You could even make some wings from the Willa Owl-Bat pattern and add them, just to make it absolutely wild and weird. 😀
No matter how you design it, I’m sure your wreath will be the cutest on the block!

Thank you to all my Patreon supporters.

Notes

This pattern is worked in 4 sections – the wreath, the legs, the hat, and the candy corns. The wreath section is worked flat, back and forth in rows, and then seamed together along the back around the wreath. The legs are worked in the round from the shoe up and then seamed closed after you stuff them with ami stuffing, then attached to the wreath. The candy corns are worked in the round with a slip st into the first st from the bottom up, the top is squeezed closed after you stuff it with ami stuffing. The hat is worked from the top down, in the round, with a slit into the first st.
The hat pattern for this design is just the Winifred Hat pattern made as it’s written in the post.
The oz and yards for the yarn are just estimates, you may need more or less for the whole design. I used about 3 oz for the wreath by itself.
Color A is green, color B is black, color C is red, and color D is white. Colors E and F are just the first two colors of the candy corns, which I did in a variety of colors for fun.

Halloween Wreath Crochet Pattern Instructions

– Wreath –

With H hook:

Note:

Every stitch in the wreath portion of this pattern is a single crochet. The following directions will only tell you what color (ie: Color A, Color B, etc…) and the number in the parentheses tells you how many stitches to make.
In the wreath example, the inactive yarn is carried behind the active. If this is confusing, you might want to check out this helpful Moogly video on tapestry.

Fasten off color B.
Rows 219 – 220: A: Ch 1, turn, (30) – 30 scs
Fasten off color A leaving a long enough tail that you can use it to secure row 220 to row 1. Use your preferred method of seaming to secure the two rows together. Fasten off, weave in your ends.

– Securing to the wreath –
I did a sc row around the row ends on each side so that when I seamed seamed the two sides together it was easier (example photo above). If you want to do this, just make sure you have 220 scs on each side.
Either way, you can seam both sides with your preferred method of seaming or slip st the two sides together (which is how I did it and why I did the rows of sc).

Leave a long tail after fastening off row 24, with your yarn needle, weave back and forth through the scs from row 24 until you get back to where you started, pull the yarn until you close the hole at the top of your candy corn. Weave your needle back and forth through the stitches as many times as you need to make sure row 24 is secure.

– Finishing –

Attach the legs, hat, and candy corn to your wreath with glue, pins, or sew them to the wreath with your yarn tails (which I did with the legs) as you would like. I actually pinned mine so I can disassemble it later. I added a cute little sign I got from Michael’s just for an extra bit of personality. 😀 I think some lights will look cute wrapped around it too.

Tada! There’s the long awaited (for me to post at least) Halloween wreath I’ve been working on for a couple weeks. I hope you like it and take this opportunity to get creative!
