Mini Broomsticks Crochet Pattern: Easy Halloween Tutorial

Tiny, cute, and ready for spooky season, this mini broomsticks crochet pattern turns small amounts of worsted-weight yarn into a charming Halloween decoration.

Crochet the Broom Bristles in Mustard Yellow

The bristle section of the mini broomsticks crochet pattern contains 13 rounds. The first four rounds increase to 24 stitches, round 5 is worked in the back loop only, rounds 6–10 keep the stitch count even, and the final three rounds decrease to close the top.

These two photographed stages make the bristle construction in the mini broomsticks crochet pattern easier to follow.

Assemble the Mini Crochet Broom

Place the handle at the top center of the bristles before sewing. The reference pattern then adds a wrapped yellow tie to create the traditional broom shape.

Step 4: Sew the handle in place

Sew the handle to the top center of the bristles. Use the long brown tail left after fastening off.

Step 5: Make the rope tie

Wrap a long strand of yellow yarn around the top of the bristles several times to create the rope tie. Secure the strand and weave in the ends.
