Additional Information:
Difficulty: Experienced
• Size
This witch measures 20″ from the shoes to the tip of the hat. She’s about 15.5″ from the shoes to her head. This pattern has lots of parts but is worth it in the end!
• Getting started
We start with the legs and crochet them together, which then forms the body and head. All are one piece. We then make the face, arms, clothes, hair, hat, and broom!
Feet: (Make 2)
In Red
To start the witch we first create her feet. The foot then leads into the leg. We make one more foot that leads into the leg and crochet both legs together. This forms the bottom of the hips, then leads into the body, and the head. The legs to the head are all one continuous piece.
Make one leg first, then create the second
Round 1: 6 Sc in magic Ring (6)
Round 2: *Sc* all around (6)
Round 3: *Inc, Sc* all around (9)

Round 12 Will Look Like This
In the following rows we will be working “short rows”. This means we will temporarily no longer be working in rounds. When you see “row” you will know we are working in rows. Short rows will make the shoe curve to start forming the leg.
Round 13: Sc in the next 9 st
Row 14: Turn, Sc in the next 9 st ( sideview , backview , regular shoe view)
Row 15: Turn, Skip the first st, Sc in the next st. Sc in the next 5 st, Skip the next st and Sc in the last st (7)

Row 17: Turn, Skip the first st, Sc in the next 2 st, Skip the next st and Sc in the last st (3)
Row 17 will look like the images below:
In the next row we will start to work around the entirety of the shoe. This is so we can start working in rounds again
Round 18: Sc in the next 3 st on the side of the shoe . Now we’re at the top of the shoe. SlSt loosely in the next 9 st , Sc in the next 3 st on the side of the shoe , Sc in the next 3 st on the bottom of the shoe The shoe will now look like (18)
Round 19: Sc in the next st and add a stitch marker to the Sc just made. This stitch marker will mark the start of each round. Sc in the next 17 st (18)
Round 19 Stitch Marker Pictured Below
Round 20-22: *Sc* all around (18)

Round 35: Change to White. *Sc* all around (21)
Stuff the leg now. Finish off only the first leg now – leave the stitch marker in the first leg. Don’t finish off the second leg here. Instead, continue on with Round 36.
Leg Assembly
Round 36: Ch 4. Now take the 1st leg and count 9 stitches before the stitch marker. Sc in that 9th stitch. Add a stitch marker to the Sc you just made . You can now take out the old stitch markers.
Sc in the next 20 st on the leg. Now we meet the chain. Sc in the next 4 st along the chain.
This is still Round 36. We’re still working on connecting the legs together.
Round 36 (Continued): Now we meet the other leg. Sc in the next 21 st on the other leg. Now we meet the other side of the ch.
Sc in the next 4 st along the chain.
Round 37: Now we meet the new stitch marker of the other leg. Sc in the next 21 st of that leg. Now Sc in the next 4 st across the middle of the legs.
Now we meet the other leg. Sc in the next 21 st. Now Sc in the next 4 st across the middle of the leg.
Hips
Now that we have the feet connected we’re now working on the hips. This will soon lead to the waist and torso.
Round 38: *Sc* all around (50)
Round 39: *Inc, Sc 6* 7 times, Sc in the last st (57)
Round 40-45: *Sc* all around (57)
Round 46: *Dec, Sc in the next 17 st* 3 times (54)
Round 47: *Dec, Sc 7* all around (48)
Round 48: *Sc* all around (48)
Round 49: *Dec, Sc 6* all around (42)
Now we’re working on the torso
Round 50: Change to Orange, *Sc* all around (42)
In the next round we will work in the Back Loop Only. This is because later we will sew the skirt along the front loops that are left from that round.
Round 51: In the BLO (Back Loop Only), *Sc* all around (42)
Round 51 Pictured Below
Stuff here. Continue stuffing as needed.
Round 52-58: In BOTH Loops, *Sc* all around (42)
Round 59-62: Change to Black, *Sc* all around (42)
In the next round we will work clusters of double crochets into the front loop only for a part of the round.
This will create a ruffled chest area for a cute and stylish looking dress. If you prefer to not have a ruffled chest dress, just Sc 1 in BOTH loops for the next 7 stitches where we typically would do the Dc.
Round 63: In BOTH Loops, Sc in the next 2 st. Now in the FLO, do 3 Dc in each of the next 7 stitches. In BOTH loops, Sc in the next 33 st (Stitch Count: 42 sc, don’t count the Dcs but count the each loop behind the Dc, so 7 total loops behind the Dc.)
Note: If your DCs don’t land centered, that’s fine. Simply make the 3 DCs in each FLO of 7 stitches where they will be centered, and make 35 Sc in BOTH loops where needed.
Round 63 Ruffles
Now we’re about to start working on the head after we crochet a few rounds in the skin color
Round 64: Change to Skin Color. Sc in the next 2 st. Now we meet the 7 back loops left from the clusters of Dc. Since we crocheted in the front loops only in Round 63, we have the back loops left. Sc in the back loops for the next 7 st. Now continue crocheting in both loops the next 33 st (42)
Round 65-67: *Sc* all around (42)
Round 68: Repeat *Dec, Sc 5* all around (36)
Stuff the body again here. Continue stuffing after each decrease round.
Round 69: *Dec, Sc 4* all around (30)
Round 70: *Dec, Sc 3* all around (24)
Round 71: *Dec, Sc 2* all around (18)
Now we will start making the neck
Round 72: In the FLO, *Sc* all around (18)
Now we’re making the head. If you’d like the head to be firm, place a foam roller or wooden dowel into the doll’s neck now to keep it stable. I would highly recommend this so it’s head won’t be floppy.
Round 73-74: In BOTH Loops, *Sc* all around (18)
Round 75: In the FLO repeat *Inc, Sc 2* all around (24)
Round 77: In BOTH Loops repeat *Inc, Sc 3* all around (30)

Round 86: *Dec, Sc 7* all around (48)
Round 87-93: *Sc* all around (48)
Round 94: *Dec, Sc 6* all around (42)
Stuff here. Continue stuffing after each round. You may also want to do the face shaping here. I did, but if you prefer you can do the face shaping after closing the head. I recommend doing it before closing the head so you can move stuffing around where you may need it. After face shaping, continue on to Round 95.
Round 95-97: *Sc* all around (42)
Round 98: *Dec, Sc 5* all around (36)
Round 99: *Dec, Sc 4* all around (30)

Round 101: *Dec, Sc 2* all around (18)
Round 102: *Dec, Sc* all around (12)
Round 103: *Dec* all around (6)
Finish off and sew the head closed. Set body aside for now.
Face Shaping: Eyes
We will shape the face by sewing a string through the face in a certain way. The pins provide a visual as to where we’ll put our needle next. The red pins show where we will insert our needle for the eyes. Place the red pins on Round 89. Each pin being about 1 stitch apart and 5 stitches apart between the pairs.
You can place pins on as shown. Take a long piece of skin colored yarn and insert it into the back of the neck. Pull the needle out at the right eye area. Reinsert needle one stitch to the left. Pull the needle out to the left eye area. Reinsert needle one stitch to the left.
Now pull the needle out at the back of the neck, where we originally first inserted out needle. We will have two ends of yarn. Pull both ends at the same time firmly. This will tighten the eye area. Tie a firm knot with both ends of yarn.
Pull the tails of yarn into the doll and cut the excess yarn.
Face shaping: Smile
We will shape the face by sewing a string through the face in a certain way. The pins provide a visual as to where we’ll put our needle next. The green pins show where we will insert our needle for the smile. Place the bottom green pins on Round 81 and the top green pins on Round 84.
You can pin needles on as shown. Take a long piece of skin colored yarn and insert it into the front of the neck. Pull the needle out at the right mouth area. Reinsert needle one stitch to the left. Pull the needle out at bottom left of the smile area. Reinsert needle one stitch to the left and pull the needle out at the front of the neck, where we originally first inserted our needle.
We will have two ends of yarn. Pull both ends at the same time firmly. This will tighten the smile area. Tie a firm knot with both ends of yarn. Pull the tails of yarn into the doll and cut the excess yarn. The face will now look like.
