Halloween Crochet Granny Squares
Halloween crochet granny squares are a fun crafting project that encapsulates the spooky and colorful spirit of the holiday.
These versatile squares often feature vibrant color palettes, including black, orange, purple, and green, and incorporate festive motifs such as pumpkins, bats, spiders, and ghosts, making them perfect for creating a cozy, seasonal blanket or festive decorations to enhance the home's Halloween ambiance.
Crochet Pumpkin Granny Square
To start us off, we have, of course, a pumpkin granny square. It features a bright orange pumpkin surrounded by green with a brown border.
This pattern is included in the pattern for the Pumpkin Patch blanket by Repeat Crafter Me, but this square would also be great for a sweater.
The pattern is available for free on Yarnspirations.
Moonlight Cat Granny Square - Etsy
Try this adorable moonlight cat granny square for a less spooky Halloween option. It features a moonlight blue background with a moon surrounding a black cat.
This square would make a great sweater or tote bag for the spooky season.
The pattern is available for purchase on Etsy.
Crochet Witch Hat Square
This bright and fun witch hat square is made with the C2C method, and the squares actually end up being pretty big (17x15 inches).
Even though they’re larger than normal granny squares, they can still be joined together to make a huge and comfy Halloween blanket, or you can hang it for wall art around Halloween time.
The pattern is available for free on Pops de Milk’s website.
Ghost Granny Square Pattern - Etsy
This classic black, white, and orange ghost granny square fits the bill for a pure Halloween option.
The stitches are beginner-friendly, and it’s really easy to change colors for this square. Turn it into home Halloween decor like a blanket, pillow, or a spoooooky sweater for Halloween.

If you’re a Nightmare Before Christmas fan like me, this cute skeleton granny square will make a great Jack Skelington project!
The skeleton applique is easy to make, and the base square is beginner-friendly, using just half double crochets.

Trick or Treat Ghost Granny Square Pattern - Etsy
I’m in love with this trick-or-treat ghostie. He’s got adorable big eyes, a smile, and even a bucket of Halloween treats! It could not be cuter.
The burnt orange gives it a bit more muted color palette, but it is still very fall.
The pattern is available for purchase on Etsy.
- 8" Coffee O Lantern Afghan Square crochet pattern
This is my favorite square on this list, combining two of my all-time favorites: Halloween and my daily cup of caffeine!
It features a bright orange coffee cup with an adorable Jack-O-Lantern face and some steam from the coffee. I see myself making a sweater with this square in the very near future.

PATTERN Halloween Granny Square Bat and Spider Granny Square - Etsy
I love that this square has a bat for some Halloween vibes but that the backgrounds are bright and fun colors.
I’m more of a pink Halloween person, so I’d make a sweater out of this cute square in a heartbeat. Make a solid pink or orange project, or alternate pink and orange for a bright and fun project.
You can find the pattern available for purchase.
Granny Square Crochet Pattern Black Cat - Etsy
I love the spooky look of this black cat granny square. It features a black cat silhouette with a sunset pattern for the rest of the square.
This gives not necessarily Halloween but for sure spooky vibes for those of you who like spooky all year round. Also, the sunset pattern is so pretty!

If you’re unafraid of creepy crawlies, this spider square is adorable for a Halloween project.
Both the base square (the web) and the spider applique are beginner-friendly, and attaching the spider applique is simple. It gives you a bit of bright color and spooky vibes all in one.
