Bring the magic of Halloween into your home décor with this tapestry crochet Flying Witch Wall Hanging!
I love crocheting for the holidays, especially when it’s time to dress up my house for Halloween!
So, of course, these days, I’ve been crocheting a few quick and scary projects, including this flying witch silhouette over a full moon!
Initially, I wanted to turn this tapestry crochet square into a potholder. It is solid, thick, and made of cotton yarn. It would make an awesome hot pad for the kitchen.
However, I decided to go for something a bit different and made it into a wall hanging.
I’m sure that this witch will look awesomely scary as a little window decoration for Halloween together with the Haunted House Wall Hanging!
For this project, I used tapestry crochet and 3 strands of yarn. So, there will be quite some tangling of yarn but it will be totally worth the pain!
