Crochet Witch ~ Sami
Oh, be still my little Halloween heart. I’m completely smitten with this adorable crochet witch!
Meet my latest make: Sami. She’s the latest free pattern in my Tamingo series of little crochet amigurumi.
What’s a Tamingo you might ask? Good question! The word “Tamingo” is a made-up word. It was my son’s mispronunciation of the word “Flamingo” when he was a young boy. But it’s too darn cute NOT to be in our everyday vocabulary, right? A Tamingo is a small crocheted friend. These cute crochet dolls are a mere 6.5″ tall. They are perfect for clutching in a little one’s hand. Also, they look adorable in your home or office. No crochet judgment zone here.
We started the Tamingo Series with Rachel and now Sami, this little crochet witch has stolen my heart! Isn’t she just about the sweetest thing ever? I’m loving all the berry shades of goodness with just a tad of black.. which is respectable for every little witch doll, I think.
When I was a young girl, my absolute favorite TV show of all time was Bewitched. Our heroine had a serious problem: trying to reign in her clever and efficient witchy tendencies to accommodate her human husband. But she often couldn’t help herself and with a twitch of her nose, the magic would happen.
A few years ago, I bought the entire series on DVD and prepared myself for a charming walk down memory lane. I’m going to be honest right here and say that while I still love our heroine, my older, wiser self is glad we do a better job these days of encouraging young girls to be their true selves rather than conforming to a societal norm. I also realized that sometimes memories are best when they stay in the past, with only the good, warm, fond things flickering there.
So with a nod to my favorite good witch, I thought I’d give my little amigurumi crochet witch a more modern, fun name, suitable to her cute self. I’m calling her Sami and oh man… am I ever smitten with this cute pattern!
She’s such a fun make! Some clever color changes on her body form the base of her dress and panties. Then a quick skirt worked in the front loops of a row makes for a fun and full skirt. If you’re looking for a removable dress, you might try making some adjustments to Rachel’s crochet doll dress instead.
Little Sami is a great little witch for Halloween and the fall season, but is versatile for other seasons too! That is what I love about this Tamingo series, so many interchangeable elements! I love when I can get more than one use out of a crochet pattern!
Add a little broom and add Sami into your halloween decor as a cute little crochet witch gnome. Or deck your little one out in a witch costume and take Sami along as an accessory for trick or treating (and she can always go in the treat basket if your little one gets tired of holding her).
And let’s talk about this adorable crochet witch hat, shall we? I can’t decide if I like the hat brim or the witchy vibes of the crooked part on this cute witch hat.
Seriously, I think this witch hat pattern could be a THING all by itself. Isn’t it the cutest? This witch hat is fast and fun, it’s worked in one color with a little strand of yarn chain in a contrasting color. Personally, I went for a cute purple yarn, but you could do green yarn, orange yarn, or really anything that suits your fancy. It would also make a darling wizard hat too!
I also stuck with the traditional black yarn witch hat, but if a little one is dressing up for Halloween and has a different color hat, it could be really cute to change out the black yarn to have it match your little one’s outfit more.

Reviews for "From Cauldrons to Crochet Hooks: The Evolution of the Crocheting Witch"
1. Emily - 2 stars - I was really excited to read "The Crocheting Witch" because I am an avid crocheter myself. However, I was sorely disappointed. The story was slow and incredibly predictable. The characters lacked depth and development, and I found myself not caring about their fates at all. Additionally, the writing style was quite bland and uninspiring. Overall, I found this book to be a major letdown, and I would not recommend it to any fellow crochet enthusiasts.
2. John - 1 star - "The Crocheting Witch" was one of the most tedious books I have ever read. The plot was convoluted and confusing, and the pacing was extremely slow. The characters were flat and uninteresting, and I couldn't connect with any of them. The author seemed to focus more on describing every stitch in the crocheting process rather than developing an engaging storyline. I struggled to finish this book and felt like I wasted my time. I would not recommend it to anyone unless they have a strong interest in crochet patterns.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - As someone who enjoys witchcraft-themed novels, I was excited to pick up "The Crocheting Witch." However, I was disappointed by the lack of magical elements in the story. The witch character felt more like a side note, and the crocheting aspect was overemphasized. The plot seemed forced and predictable, and the writing style was mediocre at best. I was expecting a captivating and mystical tale, but instead, I got a repetitive narrative about crochet techniques. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone looking for a true witchcraft-themed story.
4. Michael - 3 stars - I can appreciate the effort the author put into "The Crocheting Witch," but the execution fell short for me. The story had potential, but it dragged on and lacked a sense of urgency. The characters were one-dimensional, and their motivations were unclear. The concept of combining crochet and witchcraft was unique, but it was not fully explored. I felt that the book could have been much better with tighter editing and more character development. While it wasn't a complete waste of time, I don't think I would read another book by this author.
5. Amanda - 2 stars - "The Crocheting Witch" was a major disappointment. The writing was average at best, and the characters felt flat and unrelatable. The plotline lacked depth and failed to hold my interest. While I enjoyed the crocheting references, they felt forced and out of place within the larger narrative. Overall, this book failed to deliver on its promise of an intriguing witchcraft story combined with crochet. I would not recommend it.
