With Halloween just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to start crafting spooky yet adorable amigurumi toys. Today, I’m excited to share a super cute Squish amigurumi pattern that is perfect for the season. While this toy is meant to have a slightly spooky vibe, its charming design and adorable hat give it a lovable look.
Halloween Squish Amigurumi Pattern
This Halloween-inspired toy typically uses orange yarn, a classic color for the season, but you’ll also find a combination of purple and black to give it a fun, festive feel. However, feel free to get creative and change up the color scheme to match your own Halloween style.

ASSEMBLY
• Sew the horn on rounds 5-7
• Sew the eyepatch over rounds 9-13, with 5 stitches between the inner edge for the eyepatch and the eye
• Sew the belly patch over rounds 15- 19, centered between the eye and eyepatch
• Sew the hat so that the increases in rounds 3 and 4 are on the sides of the hat. The hat should be sewn onto rounds 2-7 of the body, opposite of the horn. Place the sts between rounds 12 and 13 so the brim of the hat is free.
• Using black worsted weight yarn, embroider a mouth between rnds 12 and 13, centered between the eye and eyepatch and about 5-6 sts wide. Use some white worsted weight yarn to embroider some teeth on round 13 as well.
