A Little Witchy Inspiration

The Sanderson Sisters have become some of the most recognizable Halloween witches, known for their dramatic personalities, colorful costumes, and unforgettable sisterly chaos. The blonde-haired sister of the trio is especially loved for her playful personality, flowing golden hair, and whimsical witchy style.

This crochet doll was designed as a fun tribute to that classic Halloween aesthetic — a little bit spooky, a little bit silly, and completely magical.

Instead of a costume replica, this pattern embraces the feeling of the classic witch with:

• Long blonde yarn hair
• Her classic dress
• Tiny details that make her perfect for Halloween decorating

For crochet dolls, tighter stitches help prevent stuffing from showing through. If your stitches feel loose, try going down a hook size.

Can I make this crochet witch as a gift?

Yes! Handmade dolls make wonderful gifts for:

• Halloween lovers
• Witchy friends
• Crochet collectors
• Fans of spooky season decor
• Anyone who loves magical handmade items

24. 2 sc, dec x 6	(18)
25. 1 sc, dec x 6	(12)
26. Dec x 6	(6)
*FO, leaving a long tail. Pass the yarn tail through each of the remaining 6 sts using a yarn needle. Pull tight, weave in end.
You should have a nicely stuffed round sphere at this point. Now, we need to make it more pumpkin shaped!
With a long piece of blanket yarn, thread it up through the center of the pumpkin with a yarn needle.
Then, wrap the yarn around one side of the pumpkin, and insert your needle through the center of your pumpkin again, bringing the yarn back up through the center of the pumpkin. Pull tight! This will help begin to shape the pumpkin by creating “ridges.”
Repeat this process on each side of the pumpkin until you have 4 sides (or as many ridges as you want). Remember to pull tight each time you pass through the center of the pumpkin (see photo). *Weave in ends.

Pumpkin Fun Fact:

Voodoo pumpkins never rot. Unlike ordinary pumpkins, voodoo pumpkins remain fresh all year long! Legend says they absorb moonlight instead of sunlight.

Stem

With a 3.5 mm hook and worsted weight (#4) yarn in brown:
1. MR 6	(6)
2. Inc x 6	(12)
3. 1 sc, inc x 6	(18)
4. BLO: 9 hdc, 9 sc	(18)
5-9. 9 hdc, 9sc	(18)
Sl st into next st. FO, leaving a long tail for sewing. Stuff the stem lightly and sew to the center of the top of the pumpkin. The HDC stitches will create a more “crooked” appearance for the stem!

Pumpkin Fun Fact:

Their eyes glow on Halloween night. Most of the year, their eyes look perfectly ordinary. But on Halloween, they catch tiny sparks of starlight, allowing them to see wandering ghosts, lost black cats, and mischievous forest spirits.

Eyes

With a 3.5 mm hook and worsted weight (#4) yarn in black:
1. MR 6	(6)
2. Inc x 6	(12)
3. 1 sc, inc x 6	(18)
*Sl st into first st. FO, leaving a long tail for sewing.
*Sew eye to the left side of the center of one of the 4 sides of the pumpkin. I sewed mine about 7 rows from the stem and 2 stitches to the left of center.
*Embroider an “X” with worsted weight yarn to create the right eye.

Pumpkin Fun Fact:

They collect autumn secrets. Voodoo pumpkins love listening to rustling leaves. It is said that ever leaf carries a story from the changing seasons, and the pumpkins keep these secrets woven into their stitches.

Finishing Touches

1. With worsted weight (#4) yarn in black and a yarn needle, embroider a mouth 2 rows under the eyes and across the face. I added embroidered stitches across the smile line for a cute and spooky voodoo-inspired look!

2. With jute twine, tie a bow around the stem and leave some of the string to dangle.

And that’s it! Your adorable new pumpkin is complete!

Pumpkin Fun Fact:

The crooked smile is a good luck charm. Their famous stitched grin isn’t just for looks. According to old pumpkin folklore, each crooked stitch represents a piece of bad luck they’ve trapped and tangled up so it can’t bother their owner.

Customize Your Crochet Pumpkin

One of the best things about this crochet pumpkin pattern is how easy it is to customize.

Try:

• Various smile shapes
• Green, purple, black, or cream pumpkins

Voodoo Pumpkin Lore

Every voodoo pumpkin has a story of its own.
