These include stars, spider webs, pumpkins Skulls and buttons. Please refer to the video demonstration for more details.
①. The complete star is made by connecting two star motifs. For the first star motif, fasten off the yarn at the end; for the second star motif, don't cut the yarn at the end. Connect the two motifs using slip stitches as you go, and stuff with an appropriate amount of filling while connecting.
②. The spider web is made by connecting half-circle pieces. Except for the first half-circle piece, which is crocheted normally, the last row of the remaining half-circle pieces is done by crocheting and joining as you go. This forms a circle. Note that before connecting the last half-circle piece to the first one, crochet two rounds around the hat to form the shape of the finished product, then complete the connection.
③. The size of the pumpkin piece should be roughly the same as the pumpkin paper pattern. The pumpkin piece needs to be connected to the skull piece (cut a 30cm strand of yarn in any color, separate it into two strands, and sew the edges of the two pieces together on the wrong side. Refer to the finished product image for the arrangement order).
④. For sewing on the buttons, use a 30 cm strand of yarn in any color, separated into two strands.
