Crochet Witch Cauldron Amigurumi
Materials Needed:
- Black yarn for the cauldron.
- Two colors of yarn for the witch's brew (referred to as color A for darker blue and color B for lighter blue).
- A 3 mm crochet hook.
- Stitch marker or a piece of yarn.
- Some stuffing.
- Scissors.
- Needle.
Witch's Brew Pattern:
Start with Color A:
- Make a magic ring and crochet three single crochets (sc) into it.
Switch to Color B:
- Pull the loop out, slip stitch (sl st) in the new color, and crochet three single crochets in this color as well. You should now have a total of 6 stitches.
Close the Magic Ring:
- Tighten the ring by pulling the tail.
Round 2:
- With Color A, start by doing a single crochet and a bobble stitch in the first stitch. Then increase (2 single crochets in the same stitch) into the next two stitches. Shift to Color B and perform a similar pattern: increase in the first stitch, single crochet and bobble stitch in the next, and then increase in the last stitch. This round ends with a total of 12 stitches.
Round 3:
- Continue alternating colors as set before, following the increase pattern to expand the circle evenly, ending with 18 stitches.
Subsequent Rounds:
- Keep increasing stitches in each round, following the same color pattern, until you've completed the desired size of the brew.
Cauldron Pattern:
Start with Black Yarn:
- Make a magic ring and crochet six single crochets into it.
Round 2:
- Increase in every stitch around for a total of 12 single crochets.
Round 3:
- Alternate between one single crochet and an increase across the round to reach 18 stitches.
Form Cauldron Feet:
- In the next round, create feet by doing a bobble stitch after some single crochets and increase sequence. Repeat to form three feet with a total of 24 stitches.
Bottom Rounds:
- Continue crocheting in rounds, increasing stitches at intervals to widen the cauldron's base according to the pattern sequence.
Side Rounds:
- For rounds 7 through 12, single crochet in each stitch without increasing to form the sides of the cauldron.
Top Rounds:
- Begin to decrease periodically to narrow the top of the cauldron in preparation for attaching the brew.
Attaching The Brew:
- Position the witch's brew on top of the cauldron.
- Carefully align stitches of both pieces.
- Single crochet together around, ensuring to switch colors as required to match the witch's brew spill over the cauldron's edge.
Finishing Touches:
- Use stuffing to fill the cauldron through an opening before completely sealing the top.
- Fasten off and weave in all ends for a clean finish.
