Last Minute Halloween: Quick Crochet Costumes

Pirate's Eyepatch

The moon is big and bright, the nights are getting longer, the air is crisp and the leaves have started to change. That can only mean one thing — HALLOWEEN IS HERE! It’s my very favorite time of the year because I love to dress up in costumes.

Uh oh! What’s that? You forgot to put together a costume? Well, that is easily remedied — especially if you have a bit of yarn and a crochet hook.

You’d be surprised how easily you can put a costume together with things around the house and then accessorize it with just a few minutes and some yarn.

Here are some super quick ideas that you can whip up in no time at all:

  • Put on a crisp white button down and a brown blazer and crochet a red bow tie:  Voila! 11th Doctor from Doctor Who
  • A trench coat coupled with a stripey crochet scarf of many colors will evoke the image of the 4th Doctor from Doctor Who
  • Toss a pretty black dress on with some fun tights. Paint the tip of your nose black, add whiskers and crochet some little black triangles onto a headband: Super-Cute Black Cat
  • Find some old round glasses at the thrift store and crochet a scarf in alternating gold and maroon stripes: Harry Potter
  • Dress all in grey, paint your nose pink, add whiskers, crochet large round ears and add to a headband: “I’m a mouse, duh!”
  • Dress all in white, loosely wrap white yarn around yourself, being sure to go from torso to limbs. Make a very large black pom-pom, glue black pipe cleaners to the bottom and add googly eyes. Pin the spider to you. AHHHHH you’re a spiderweb!
