Create a spooky-fun Halloween spiral hanging ornament featuring a smiling jack-o-lantern head, two twisted tubular spirals in orange and black, tiny bead accents and a dangling bat charm.

Materials Needed for Halloween Spiral Hanging Ornament Amigurumi Pattern

Assembly Instructions

• Attach head to collar: position collar centrally under head and pin so the pumpkin face sits forward; whip stitch through the bottom round of the head and all collar rounds evenly around, using the long tail from the collar to make approximately 12–16 stitches for a secure join.
• Join tube tops to collar: pin tube openings into the collar opening facing opposite directions then stitch through the collar and first rounds of both tubes, distributing 12–16 stitches to each tube. Ensure tubes are centered and aligned before tightening stitches.
• Twist and pin spirals: lay both tubes flat and gently twist them into a spiral. Pin at several points until you achieve the desired tightness and rhythm. Sew tubes together at 3–5 discrete points along their length (use small invisible stitches) to ensure the spiral holds its shape.
• Attach bottom cap: gather tube ends and place inside bottom cap; use the long tails to sew the cap closed around both tube ends. Before finishing, slip a small jump ring into the cap center and secure by sewing tightly around it.
• Add bat charm: use a small jump ring or short chain to connect the bat charm to the jump ring inserted into the cap. Close all jewelry rings securely with pliers.
• Sew bead accents: if beads were not sewn during tube construction, stitch them now at evenly spaced points. Tie knots on the inside and weave tails several rounds inside tube to hide ends.
• Secure hanging loop: tie and knot the jute loop at the collar interior, then reinforce by stitching collar rounds over the loop base. Hide knot ends inside the head when sewing the collar to the head.
• Final adjustments: check face embroidery, tuck any stray stuffing inside the head, and test balance. Trim any visible yarn tails and lightly steam-block if necessary to even stitches.

Important Notes

• 💡Use stitch markers at the beginning of each round to avoid counting errors and keep the spiral tube circumference consistent.
• 💡Stuff sections gradually; add small amounts of fiberfill every 8–12 rounds for tubes to maintain shape without making them stiff.
• 💡When adding beads, secure them with multiple passes of thread and hide the knot inside the tube to prevent snags.
• 💡For a tight amigurumi finish use a hook 0.25–0.5mm smaller than yarn label recommendation.
• 💡Pin and test the spiral twist before permanently sewing tubes together to choose the preferred tightness and spacing.
• 💡When sewing the bottom cap, insert a metal loop before closing to avoid having to puncture the fabric later for hardware.
• 💡For a child-safe ornament, sew beads tightly or skip beads and use embroidered dots instead; do not use small detachable charms for toys.
• 💡Weave in ends at least 3–4 cm inside the piece to prevent unravelling and to make seams neater.
