Halloween Home Decor Crochet Pattern Round-Up | 50 FREE Patterns
Autumn has officially arrived here in the Northern Hemisphere, and with it, a welcome break from the summer heat! 🍂 For me, this is hands-down my favorite season. The cozy vibes, crisp air, and of course, all the fun Halloween crafts! 🎃 There’s nothing I love more than decking out my home with festive, handmade decorations this time of year.
In this blog post, I’m excited to share 50 FREE Halloween Crochet Home Decor Patterns to spookify your home! From eerie wall hangings to ghostly garlands, these patterns are perfect for adding a hauntingly fun touch to your space. You can find the direct links to each pattern right here, so grab your hooks and let’s get crafting!
First up is the Winnie Wreath by Pippin Poppycock. This whimsical wreath instantly gives me Wizard of Oz vibes with its playful witch legs sticking out, reminiscent of the famous scene where the witch gets caught under the house. To create this fun decor piece, you’ll start by crocheting the boots, followed by the legs. Then, you’ll cover a foam wreath with your crochet work to complete the look.
Personally, I’d go for the classic Wizard of Oz color scheme, using striped stockings and bright red boots to really capture that iconic witchy flair!
Another fun one is the Spiderweb Table Runner by Divine Debris. It’s quick and simple to make, with the finished runner measuring 8 inches wide.
You can easily adjust the length by adding more or fewer spider webs as you go, and this would be a great project to use up scrap yarn as well!
Ghoster Coasters by The Loopy Lamb, see the pattern here.
Or a great way to decorate your spooky table are the Ghoster Coasters by The Loopy Lamb. These coasters are 5.5 inches tall and wide, making them a perfect square for fitting larger mugs.
They use basic stitches but are rated intermediate because they require a bit of colorwork and comfort with reading a tapestry chart.
Spider Table Mat by Cristina Mershon, see the pattern here.
This Spider Table Mat by Cristina Mershon is also a fun one. It’s beginner-friendly to make and measures 20 inches (51 cm) in diameter. The spider web design is worked in surface slip stitching and features straight lines and concentric circles. This would be a great project to whip up and use to decorate your table.
It also utilizes basic stitches as well as the V Stitch, which is a hdc, ch 1, and hdc in the same stitch.
Ghost Garland by See Love Share, see the pattern here.
Another great one is the Ghost Garland by See Love Share. Each ghost measures 5.5 inches tall and is beginner-friendly, making it quick and easy to whip up for decorating your walls. The eyes, made from black buttons and black felt for facial expressions, really add to the overall charm and make this garland look complete.
This Spider Pillow by Kati Brown is also a fun design. The amigurumi spider adds great texture and is made independently of the pillow, allowing you to sew it on if you’d like. Once complete, the cushion measures 36 cm (14 inches) in diameter. The special stitches used to make it include the double treble, surface double crochet, and French knot.
It’s important to note that this pattern uses UK standard crochet terms, so if you’re used to US standards, you’ll need to convert them. If you’d like a handy chart to help with this, be sure to check out my Crochet Cheat Sheets eBook, where I have lots of useful conversion charts and guides available in my shop!
Ghost Coasters by Kara Gunza, see the pattern here.
Here are some more fun Ghost Coasters by Kara Gunza, which are really cute! They measure 9 by 4 inches (23 by 10 cm) and are easy to make, with the only special stitches being the sc2tog and dc2tog.
I love that these are perfect for decorating your table, but you can also hang them on walls or from ceilings for an extra festive touch!
I also love this Ghost Pillow by Yarnspirations. It measures 18 inches (45.5 cm), and for this one, you simply make the front and back, then work on the arms and edging.
After that, you sew it all together and finish it off by adding the eyes. This makes it super easy and quick to whip up!
Ghost Candy Bowl by Lion Brand, see the pattern here.
This Ghost Candy Bowl is also a fun one. It measures 9 inches in diameter and is worked in one continuous round, so you don’t join in the round but instead work in spirals. This pattern uses a smaller hook to keep the stitches tight together, which helps the bowl stay firm.
Frankenstein Bowl by A Crocheted Simplicity, see the pattern here.
Another great make is this Frankenstein Bowl by A Crocheted Simplicity. The bowl measures 8 inches in diameter and 7.5 inches high. You work it from the bottom up, starting by crocheting two circles, then joining them and working the sides of the basket up. After completing the basket, you crochet the hair, bolts, ears, and eyes, attaching them afterward. This pattern also uses plastic canvas to reinforce the structure of the basket.
I love the open mouth at the bottom—it’s perfect for storing and easily grabbing candies!
Tentacles Candy Basket by Moogly, see the pattern here.
This Tentacle Candy Bowl is another festive one. It’s made with super bulky yarn, so it would work up quite quickly. The finished size is 10 inches across, not including the tentacles. First, you make the outer bowl, then the tentacles, underbelly, under-tentacles, and finally the inner bowl.
Most of the rounds in this pattern are worked in a spiral instead of being joined at the end of each round, so that’s good to keep in mind!
Halloween Striped Pillow by The Pixie Creates, see the pattern here.
Or make this Halloween Striped Pillow by The Pixie Creates. The pillow measures 18 by 18 inches, and to change colors for this design, they carry the yarn to reduce the number of ends to weave in. The front and back panels are seamed together on three sides, and a zipper is added to the front side.
I love that the zipper gives it a finished look, but you can also skip it if you don’t want to be bothered with adding one!
Trick or Treat Pillow by Tiny Couch Crochet, see the pattern here.
This Trick and Treat Pillow by Tiny Couch Crochet is also a great one to make. The finished pillow measures 12 by 20 inches. The special stitch used for this one is the bobble stitch, which involves yarning over and inserting the hook until you have six loops on the hook, then yarning over and pulling through all six loops.
The bobble stitch is used to create the lettering, and I love that this pillow is reversible with the words on both sides!
Skull Pillow Sticks by Yarnspirations, see the pattern here.
Here is a fun one: the Skull Party Sticks by Yarnspirations. I love the sugar skulls, which measure 4 inches by 5.25 inches (10 by 13.5 cm). The special stitch used here is the sc2tog.
I would personally use these so that guests can add them to their drinks at the party to help tell them all apart!
Spooky Eyeball by Moogly Blog, see the pattern here.
Or I also love this Spooky Eyeball Pillow by Moogly Blog. It’s beginner-friendly to make and measures 10 inches. It is worked in the round but in a spiral, and there is some surface crochet used to add the blood vessels, which I love.
I really love this one because it reminds me of the eyeball sculpture in downtown Dallas, which I used in a music video. I might need to make this one to add it to the video too!
Bat Appliqué by Oh Me Oh My Crochet, see the pattern here.
Here’s something you can make and use as an ornament or add to another piece as an appliqué: it’s a Bat by Oh Me Oh My Crochet. It’s beginner-friendly to make, and you can get really creative with how you use it.

Ghost Lights by Bison Shades, see the pattern here.
These Halloween Ghost Lights by Bison Shades are also fun! They are beginner-friendly to make and can be hung up to add a festive charm to your twinkle lights.
But I would definitely use wool yarn for this because it is more heat-resistant, and make sure not to leave them running when you’re not around for safety.
Cauldron Potion Coasters by Make it Yourself Papari, see the pattern here.
The Cauldron Potion Coasters by Make It Yourself Papari is also a lovely project. They are beginner-friendly to make and add a spooky charm to your table. You can also use stiffening spray to make the cauldron extra sturdy.
These are made in the round and are accompanied by a YouTube video tutorial!
Trance Blanket by Yarnspirations, see the pattern here.
The A Trance Blanket by Yarnspirations is also a great project to make. It is crafted with jumbo yarn, so it works up quite quickly. The blanket measures 55 by 63 inches (or 140 by 160 cm) and is made of 7.5-inch (or 19 cm) squares. There are two different square motifs, which are stitched together with a whipstitch.
And I like that this one isn’t too Halloween-specific, so it can be used all year round, but it also fits perfectly with your Halloween decor!
Black Cat Wreath by Yarnspirations, see the pattern here.
The Superstitious Black Cat Wreath is also a perfect project to make. It’s an intermediate-level design that uses special stitches, including the waffle stitch, and requires a styrofoam wreath along with wires bent to create the ears and tail. You’ll also crochet a bow to add to the cat wreath.
And I think this one is very creative and wouldn’t take too long to make, making it a perfect way to decorate your door!
Blood Splat Coaster by Candy Downs, see the pattern here.
I also love the Blood Splat Coaster by Candy Downs. These are beginner-friendly and feature special stitches to create the Small Blood Drip and Large Blood Drip.
I also love that you can make it in green for a slime vibe or orange for pumpkin guts, and these would be perfect to make with yarn scraps.
Crochet Bat by Jen Hayes Creations, see the pattern here.
The Crochet Bat by Jen Hayes Creations is also a great make. It’s advanced beginner level and features topstitching to connect the wings. They measure 6 inches tall or 13 inches wide if made with furry yarn and 5 inches by 11 inches if made with worsted weight yarn.
I love that there are both furry and smooth worsted weight options, as well as the cute little ear details.
Spiderweb Mat by Spin A Yarn Crochet, see the pattern here.
Here is a really cool Spiderweb Mat by Yarnspirations as well. It’s intermediate level and measures 34 inches or 86.5 cm. The special stitches used are the shell and V stitch. I just love this one and think it could add such a festive charm to your patio, or you can use it as an area rug in your space.
Hey Boo Pillow by Lion Brand, see the pattern here.
Or make this Hey Boo Pillow by Lion Brand. The finished pillow measures 16 inches or 40.5 cm, and it’s intermediate level because it uses the tapestry crochet method to make it.
And this one just mainly has the chart, not written instructions, so you do need to be comfortable with reading a chart.
Stack Jack Pumpkin by See Love Share, see the pattern here.
This Stack Jack Pumpkin by See Love Share is also a really creative one. The total size is 24 inches tall by 12 inches wide, and because it’s made with blanket yarn, it would work up quite quickly.
And I loved the foliage they used and how they sprayed it with Halloween colors. I personally would love to use some branches and twigs for that part.
Jolly Jack O' Lantern by Lion Brand Yarns, see the pattern here.
Or make this Jolly Jack O Lantern Felted Crochet Bowl by Lion Brand. It’s easy to make and measures 7 inches by 2 inches or 18 cm by 5 cm. To make it, you crochet the bowl and then wash it in the machine on hot with a cold rinse cycle, then dry it in a machine to felt it additionally.
And then you embroider the jack o’ lantern face, and this one is such a simple one to display candies in.
Cat Skull Pillow by See Love Share, see the pattern here.
This Cat Skull Pillow by See Love Share is also a good one to make. It’s intermediate to create because it does use the intarsia method. It measures 18 by 20 inches. The special stitches it uses are the popcorn stitch, puff stitch, cluster stitch, double crochet, and single crochet 2 together. And this one is just written out, which is great if you prefer written instructions.
Black Cat Door Stopper by Lion Brand, see the pattern here.
I thought this Amigurumi Black Cat is also a cute choice. It’s by Lion Brand and is easy to make. It measures 11 inches or 28 cm, and the only special stitch it uses is the sc2tog. And this one uses basic stitches to make the head, then body, two ears, tail, and collar, and is worked in continuous spirals.
Witch Towel Holder by A Crocheted Simplicity, see the pattern here.
You can also make this Witch Towel Holder by A Crocheted Simplicity. The special stitches are the single crochet spike stitch. To begin, you create the witch hat, the head, and nose, and then add two wooden rings. I like the details on this one and how you add a wart to her nose, along with the witch's eyes and hair.
Candy Corn Towel by Raffamusa Designs, see the pattern here.
Here is a kitchen towel inspired by a Halloween classic—candy corn, and it’s by Raffamusa Designs. You do need to be comfortable with increasing and creating the suzette stitch, so it is more of an advanced beginner pattern. And this one has plenty of pictures to help with each step of the way.
Cauldron Bowl Cozy by Blackstone Designs, see the pattern here.
Or make this cauldron bowl cozy by Blackstone Designs. It’s intermediate level to make and is worked with double strands of yarn so that is good to be comfortable with.
