Any crocheter looking for haunting patterns that match their alternative, dark vibe will die for these tapestry crochet designs These macabre patterns, from the creator of Crochet or Cry, are designed with absolute beginners in mind. Using only basic stitches and simple color changes, Emily Chavez creatively uses the tapestry crochet method to achieve bold graphics without the complexity of more advanced mosaic crochet techniques.

Or, bring some Halloween into your everyday with a ghost rising from a cup of tea or coffee, or a fringed bust of Frankenstein’s monster. No matter what devilish design you start with, you can finish it in any way you choose—with instructions for wall hangings, pillows, totes, and more!

Crocheters will love the satisfying experience of watching an image emerge one row at a time with these stunning dark crochet projects.
