Crochet Witch ~ Sami
Oh, be still my little Halloween heart. I’m completely smitten with this adorable crochet witch!
Meet my latest make: Sami. She’s the latest free pattern in my Tamingo series of little crochet amigurumi.
What’s a Tamingo you might ask? Good question! The word “Tamingo” is a made-up word. It was my son’s mispronunciation of the word “Flamingo” when he was a young boy. But it’s too darn cute NOT to be in our everyday vocabulary, right? A Tamingo is a small crocheted friend. These cute crochet dolls are a mere 6.5″ tall. They are perfect for clutching in a little one’s hand. Also, they look adorable in your home or office. No crochet judgment zone here.
We started the Tamingo Series with Rachel and now Sami, this little crochet witch has stolen my heart! Isn’t she just about the sweetest thing ever? I’m loving all the berry shades of goodness with just a tad of black.. which is respectable for every little witch doll, I think.
When I was a young girl, my absolute favorite TV show of all time was Bewitched. Our heroine had a serious problem: trying to reign in her clever and efficient witchy tendencies to accommodate her human husband. But she often couldn’t help herself and with a twitch of her nose, the magic would happen.
A few years ago, I bought the entire series on DVD and prepared myself for a charming walk down memory lane. I’m going to be honest right here and say that while I still love our heroine, my older, wiser self is glad we do a better job these days of encouraging young girls to be their true selves rather than conforming to a societal norm. I also realized that sometimes memories are best when they stay in the past, with only the good, warm, fond things flickering there.
So with a nod to my favorite good witch, I thought I’d give my little amigurumi crochet witch a more modern, fun name, suitable to her cute self. I’m calling her Sami and oh man… am I ever smitten with this cute pattern!
She’s such a fun make! Some clever color changes on her body form the base of her dress and panties. Then a quick skirt worked in the front loops of a row makes for a fun and full skirt. If you’re looking for a removable dress, you might try making some adjustments to Rachel’s crochet doll dress instead.
Little Sami is a great little witch for Halloween and the fall season, but is versatile for other seasons too! That is what I love about this Tamingo series, so many interchangeable elements! I love when I can get more than one use out of a crochet pattern!
Add a little broom and add Sami into your halloween decor as a cute little crochet witch gnome. Or deck your little one out in a witch costume and take Sami along as an accessory for trick or treating (and she can always go in the treat basket if your little one gets tired of holding her).
And let’s talk about this adorable crochet witch hat, shall we? I can’t decide if I like the hat brim or the witchy vibes of the crooked part on this cute witch hat.
Seriously, I think this witch hat pattern could be a THING all by itself. Isn’t it the cutest? This witch hat is fast and fun, it’s worked in one color with a little strand of yarn chain in a contrasting color. Personally, I went for a cute purple yarn, but you could do green yarn, orange yarn, or really anything that suits your fancy. It would also make a darling wizard hat too!
I also stuck with the traditional black yarn witch hat, but if a little one is dressing up for Halloween and has a different color hat, it could be really cute to change out the black yarn to have it match your little one’s outfit more.

Reviews for "Carnival Magic's top deck attractions: Must-visit spots for every cruiser"
1. Sarah - 2 stars
I was really disappointed with the deck configuration on the Carnival Magic. The layout felt very chaotic and cramped, making it difficult to find a spot to relax and enjoy the sun. There were far too few lounge chairs available, and they were all crammed together in tight spaces. The pools and hot tubs were overcrowded, and it was impossible to find a place to swim or soak without feeling like you were invading someone else's personal space. Overall, the deck configuration on this ship was a major letdown for me.
2. John - 3 stars
While the Carnival Magic had plenty of deck space, the configuration left a lot to be desired. It felt like there wasn't enough shade available, as the few covered areas were always occupied. The pool areas were clustered together, creating a noisy and crowded environment. I also found it frustrating that there were multiple levels and staircases, making it difficult to navigate around the ship. The lack of clear signage added to the confusion. Overall, I was not a fan of the deck layout on the Carnival Magic.
3. Emily - 2 stars
The deck configuration on the Carnival Magic was a nightmare. The layout was confusing and disorganized, with no clear flow of traffic. It was always crowded and difficult to find a nice spot to relax. The deck was also poorly designed, with limited shade options and uncomfortable seating. The pools were always packed with people, and it felt like there was no escape from the noise and chaos. I would not recommend this ship to anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable deck experience.
