Are you ready to add a touch of spooky charm to your Halloween decor? This free Halloween black cat crochet pattern is packed with personality and quick to stitch up. Dressed in a tiny witch hat and holding a mini broom, Cobweb the Cat makes a fantastic seasonal gift, market prep favorite or cozy desk companion.

What makes this beginner-friendly black cat amigurumi extra special is its nearly no-sew design. The legs, tail, and arms are all crocheted directly into the body as you go, and the head and body are worked as one continuous piece. That means minimal assembly and more time for stitching! Follow along with the free pattern below to craft your own amigurumi witch cat for spooky season.

Stitch Abbreviations

st = stitch
sl st = slip stitch
ch = chain
SC = single crochet
SC2tog = single crochet 2 stitches together (invisible decrease is recommended)

Special Stitches

SC2tog (using invisible decrease method): Insert hook into front loop of the first stitch. Insert hook into front loop of second stitch. Yarn over. Draw through the first two loops on hook. Yarn over. Draw through both loops on hook.

Notes

  • Checking your gauge is not required for this pattern. Use a hook that is smaller than the size recommended for your yarn weight. This will ensure that your stuffing will not show through the stitches.
  • This pattern requires minimal sewing. The body and head are worked as one piece, and the legs, tail, and arms are worked directly into the body as you work, rather than sewing later. The only sewing required is the snout and the ears.
  • All pieces are worked in the round. Use a stitch marker to indicate the beginning of each round.
  • Invisible decreases are recommended. Please see “Special Stitches”.
  • Safety eyes and noses pose a choking risk for babies; therefore, if making this toy for a baby, I recommend using yarn, felt, or embroidered details.
  • All pieces, with the exception of the ears and tail, require full stuffing. Stuff as you work to ensure each piece is completely filled.

Tips & Tricks for Stitching Cobweb the Cat

  • Pin Before Sewing: Use pins to secure the witch hat and broom in place before stitching. Taking a moment to double check alignment ensures your black cat amigurumi looks symmetrical from every angle.
  • Track Your Continuous Rounds: Cobweb is worked in continuous spiral rounds, making a stitch marker essential! Place your marker in the first stitch of each round to keep your stitch counts accurate as you work.
  • Prevent Stuffing Gaps: To keep stuffing from showing through black yarn, use a hook size smaller than your yarn label recommends and work tight single crochet stitches.
  • Master Amigurumi Basics: Looking for more ways to level up your plushie skills? Explore my guide to amigurumi tips and tricks for seamless closing methods, advice, and tips.

Pattern Alterations & Customization

  • How to Change Yarn Weight & Sizes: Want a large plushie version of Cobweb? Swap worsted weight yarn for chenille yarn such as Parfait Chunky. Match your yarn with the correct hook size for amigurumi using my full tutorial.
  • Custom Pet Colors: Leave off the witch hat and broom, and swap the black yarn for gray, ginger, or white to crochet a custom cat that matches your own pet.
  • Spooky Accessories: Pair your witch cat with other seasonal props! Try stitching up this free crochet pumpkin pattern or a mini candy corn!
