An easy costume to dress up your little mouse, rabbit, or pig for Halloween or anytime you need a witch in your cast of characters. This one is a green witch, a little earth witch. I’m pretty sure she specializes in plants and herbal magics.
Start by downloading the free pattern here.
Trace the outlines of the 3 pattern pieces onto your fabric with chalk, crayon, or pen, depending on what will show up best.
Cut out the pieces. If you have scissors that make fancy edges, they can be fun to use for this costume.
I’ve switched to the green fabric I used for this witch. The next step is to fasten the cape around the character’s neck. The pattern has an exaggerated collar shape that you can trim down if you don’t want the collar to be so dramatic.
Prep the hat sections. Glue or stitch the cone shape for the pointy part of the hat. Make an x-shaped slit in the middle of the brim section.
Stitch or glue the cone onto the brim, leaving the bottom of the cone open around the x-shaped slit so you can do the next step.
Push your finger into the middle of the hat, so you’ll be able to put the hat onto the animal’s head.
Snip a small slit through the brim on either side of the middle of the hat. This will let you slip the character’s ears through the brim.
Wiggle the animal’s ears through the slits. The costume is done. Now you can add whatever accessories you like to complete the look.
This little green witch has on her mask and her bag, ready for trick-or-treating.
…and this little one is in traditional Halloween colors, ready to fly off on her broomstick for some holiday fun.
If you make a little witch, I love to see it!
