Hello! If you watch my Facebook Live videos you know that I’m so excited for Halloween. It is my favorite time of the year for a lot of reason, including decorations, food, and that the weather changes (in most places) to get a bit chillier.
Originally this week was supposed to feature the Sally Skull Earrings as the new free pattern but the pair of earrings I worked up didn’t photograph too well… my use of black thread for the skull make them hard to read. So I’m re-doing them and I’ll get ’em published next week. I didn’t have time this last weekend because my hubs and I decided on a quick trip out of town before he has to go back to work.
Anyway, I hope you like the Witch Hat coaster and earring set that I’ve got here for you. They’re fun and quick, combining my favorite things into one blog post: tapestry crochet, thread, jewelry, and Halloween!
You can purchase an ad-free downloadable pdf for this pattern in my Ravelry shop.
Materials:
- 2.25 mm crochet hook
- Size 10 crochet thread
- I used Aunt Lydia‘s
- Needle that will weave in your ends
- Fabric stiffener (optional)
- US G (4.00 mm) crochet hook
- Worsted/ size #4/ medium weight yarn
- less than an oz, 3 colors
- I just used random cotton yarn
- Yarn needle
Gauge:
- G: 4.5” x 4.5” = 19 dcs x 9 rows
- 2.25 mm: 1″ x 1″ = 10 scs x 10 rows
Terms/ stitches:
- RS: right side
- Ch: chain
- St: stitch
- Slip st: slip stitch
- Sc: single crochet
- Sc2tog: single crochet 2 stitches together
Notes:
- Both patterns are worked back and forth in rows, with a turn at the end/ beginning.
- The ch 1 at the beginning of the row does not count as a stitch in either pattern.
- Both patterns are worked from the bottom up.
- Coaster: the sides portion (where the color changes are) will only tell you what color (ie: Color A, Color B, etc…) and the number in the parentheses tells you how many single crochets to make.
- Coaster: In the 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.
- You can replace the chain row with a foundation single crochet row.
- Coaster: color A is tan, color B is black, and color C is pink.
- Earrings: color A is black and color B is orange.
- You’re going to need to know how to create a slipknot on your hook.
Finished dimensions:
- Coaster
- Height: 4″
- Width: 4″
- Earrings:
- Height: 1.5″ (not including findings)
- Width: 1.5″ (widest)

Finishing:
Once each earring is done, use fabric stiffener to harden your earrings, which I like to dilute with water and apply with a soft paint brush. Once both earrings are dried, usually overnight for me, use your jewelry pliers to attach jump rings to your earrings. Once both earrings are dried, usually overnight for me, use your jewelry pliers to attach jump rings to the top sc of your hat and they’re ready to wear!
So there they are! I hope you like these new patterns and it gets you into the Halloween mood, because I sure am. I’ll get the Sally Skulls Earrings re-worked and ready to publish for next week.
See ya next week!
