I am so excited to share a new ragdoll crochet pattern with you, and since Halloween is around the corner, I made a witch! I didn’t know what to call her, first her name was Glinda the friendly witch from the North. But since she doesn’t look so much like Glinda, I’ve decided to call her Sigrid instead.
Disclaimer: This blog post contains affiliate links, read more about it here.
Sigrid is a nordic name and it means the beautiful one and victory. If you live in the USA you probably never heard of this name before, but in Norway, it`s pretty common.
This pattern has also been translated into Norwegian and German.
The yarn
I’ve used Catania from Schachenmayr for my witch. This is a sports weight yarn, and it’s my favorite for amigurumi projects. However, feel free to use whatever yarn you’d like. Some of my testers used worsted weight and they turned out amazing too!

Information
All parts, except the hat, are being crocheted with a 2.5 mm crochet hook. We are making two panels for each part. The head/body, and the hat are crocheted separately and then the pieces are placed wrong sides together and crocheted together. The witch is crocheted from bottom up. I stuffed my witch lightly with some filling material.
You can do regular decreases for the flat parts and invisible decreases for the round parts.
Skill level: Intermediate
Finished size: 24 cm/9.5”

Make another panel. When you are finished with crocheting, don’t cut off the yarn. Chain 1, put the other panel on top of it and sc them together. Sc until you get to the brim of the left side Leave the stitches for the bottom open. Cut the yarn and insert it on the other brim side. Sc your way until you get to the top of the hat. Sl st in the first sc and cut the yarn. Weave in all ends.
Once you have sewed the hat on the head, you can fill it lightly with some stuffing before closing the hole. You don’t have to attach it if it stands by itself.
Crochet the panels together
Attach safety eyes on row 21-22, 7 sc space apart, or sew on eyes and mouth on one of the panels.
If you want to sew on eyelashes, do not add washers to the back of the eyes. Decide where to place the eyes and put them on without attaching the back part. Now sew on the eyelashes using embroidery thread. Sew on 2-3 lashes. Go out on an angle, starting where the safety eye is. Then add the washers to the back part.
Lay the panels on each other and sc them together. Place 2 sc in each corner of the dress. Match the color used to sew the pieces together with the color being attached.
See the pictures below for more details.
Lay the panels on top of each other, wrong sides facing in. Attach yarn at the corner, chain 1 and sc the parts together.

Add some stuffing. Put 2 sc in each corner of the bottom part. Sl st in the first sc, cut the yarn and weave in ends.
How to make the hair.
Ch 50, turn. 1 sc in the second chain from the hook and in the next 28 sc. This will be the first strand of the hair.
Now
Repeat the process with all the remaining chains, until you have 20 strands or so of hair. When you have made all the strands, fold the piece in half and sew it together, so you`ll get about the same number of strands on each side.
Sew the hair on the head. Use straight pins to decide the position.
