25+ Horror Movie Crochet Patterns You’ll Want to Make

25+ Horror Movie Crochet Patterns You’ll Want to Make

Putting crochet and horror together seems unlikely, right? But for fans who live for the thrill of fiendish characters like Michael Myers, Pennywise, or Ghostface, merging macabre pop culture with crochet is the perfect mix of two loves. 

And the inspiration behind this video is actually this dress that I got at a market recently. It was handcrafted by the artist, and if she had an instagram handle I’d tag it below but I don’t believe she did. But isn’t that so fun! 

Many if you voted and said you wanted to see this round-up too, and I loved putting this list together. I found so many spooky but cuddly creations and separated all of the patterns into four different categories: Amigurumi, Accessories, Home Decor, and Clothing. And like always you can find all of the links to each pattern on my blog which is linked in the description box below. 

Alright let’s get into it!
