Crochet Happy Flying Witch On Broom Pattern

Video Tutorial By: Butterfly Craft

This tutorial demonstrates how to crochet a Halloween witch riding a broomstick. The project begins by making a cape using a circle base with double crochet stitches and an outer single crochet edging. Next, hair strands with wavy curls are crocheted. Then, the body legs and arms are made using chains, double crochets, and triple crochets. A broom is crafted by attaching yarn tassels to a cut bamboo skewer. Finally, a pointed witch hat is crocheted in rows with increasing double crochets. All finished parts are attached to a wooden bead face using a glue gun.
