Hook or Treat
You don't need to be good at crochet
Eleven Halloween characters, two evenings each — and a photo for every round.
Written in plain English, start to finish. Without abbreviations you have to go and look up. Without a free pattern that stops halfway. Without a translation that stops making sense at round 14.

Made by our makers
Who's already made these
Real photos, sent in by people who followed these patterns.
— Had given up before
Customer photo
I'd given up on crochet completely after a pattern I couldn't make head nor tail of. The photo at every round is what did it — I finished the witch over a weekend and she's sat on my mantelpiece now.
— Near beginner
Customer photo
I'd only ever managed a granny square, so I started with the spiders. Took me one evening each. By half term I'd done the bat and the pumpkin too.
— Made Dracula
Customer photo
I've downloaded plenty of free patterns and wasted a Saturday on one that just stopped making sense halfway down. This is the first one I've paid for and the first one I've actually finished.

They're yours for good
Download them again whenever you like. Lost them in a phone change? Email us and we'll resend.
Email not arrived? Check your junk folder first — that's where it is nine times out of ten. Still nothing? Email us and we'll send the files over by hand, usually the same day.
Before you buy
What nearly stopped other people
What if I get stuck and can't follow it?
Every round has its own photo, so you can check your work against ours as you go. And if you're still stuck, email us — a real person who has made the thing replies, usually the same day.
I've only ever made a granny square. Is this too advanced?
No. If you can do a slip knot, a double crochet and a decrease, you can make all eleven. Start with the spiders or the pumpkins — they're an evening each — and work up to the witch.
Will I actually finish before Halloween?
Most characters take two evenings. Starting in early October gives you room for four or five without rushing. Each pattern lists its own time so you can plan around the week you've actually got.
There are free patterns everywhere. Why pay for these?
Free patterns are often someone's notes, with rounds that don't add up and no photos past the first. These are eleven tested patterns with a photo at every round and someone to ask when it goes wrong. If that isn't worth it to you, take the refund — we'd rather you did.
What will I need to buy?
Each pattern opens with the full list: yarn weight and colours, hook size, toy stuffing and safety eyes. It's standard kit from any craft shop or online.
Can I sell the ones I make?
Yes — sell the finished pieces you make by hand as much as you like. The only thing you can't do is share or resell the PDF itself.
Not for you? 14 days, no quibbles.
If it isn't what you hoped for, email us within 14 days and we'll refund you.
