My 2025 Halloween crochet costume.

So for context, I started crocheting in Spring of 2024. I had previously only done a bit of knitting and loom knitting. I had attempted a few times to do crochet and it finally clicked then. After I got the hand of it, I felt an obsession starting. I was thinking of tons of new projects, including making my own Halloween costume that year in 2024. I made a Luigi costume with bernet blank yarn by making a green sweater and overalls. It was a very warm costume but I proud of myself for making an entire wearable costume.

So for 2025, I wanted to take it to the next level and use a regular weight weight, (size 4 for context) to make a costume. I had gotten into TMNT over the summer and decided to make a Leonardo costume that would be based off the design of TMNT 2012 Leonardo.

After a looking at a ton of reference pictures and drawing a few drafts, I finally came up with this design option.

For people who know of the crochet process and want more details, I will provide some here.

I used half double crochets for the sweater, making it with two panels for the body and the arms separate. I used the brown from the back of the sweater and surface crocheted the lines on the front part of the sweater. For the front beige part, I just kind of improvised and decreased to make the two points. It was definitely a trail and error thing, but I eventually found a look that I liked. For the beanie, I found a crochet slouchy beanie tutorial to make for the ninja mask inspired look. For the gloves I was able to use a fingerless gloves tutorial as a reference then was able to free hand it to make them look like the turtle hands.

Overall, I was really proud of my accomplishments to challenge myself and make a new costume for Halloween. I hope you enjoy and if there are any questions, feel free to ask me. I am attempting to share more of my crochet stuff, so let me know if you like it.

TLDR: I made a crochet costume for Halloween 2025 based on Leonardo from TMNT 2012.

🧸 How to Design Your Own Crochet Dolls (No Pattern Needed)

You don’t need a pattern to create adorable crochet dolls—just a little creativity and a few simple ideas. Designing your own dolls can actually be more fun because every piece turns out completely unique. I often take what I’ve learned from other patterns—like shaping, stitches, and construction—and use that knowledge to start creating something new.

Start with a basic shape: a round head, a simple body, and small limbs. Keeping the proportions slightly exaggerated—like a bigger head—can instantly give your doll a cuter, softer look.

Next, choose a color palette before you begin. Sticking to 3–5 colors helps your doll look cohesive and thoughtfully designed, whether you prefer soft neutrals or playful brights.

The face is what brings your doll to life. Placing the eyes slightly lower on the face creates a sweeter expression, while small embroidered details add charm without overcomplicating things.

Hair and outfits are where you can really get creative. Try braids, buns, or simple yarn loops for texture, and use basic shapes like rectangles to form skirts, dresses, or tiny accessories.

Most importantly, don’t aim for perfection. The beauty of handmade crochet dolls is in their small differences—those little details are what make each one special.

Save this for your next project and start designing something that’s completely your own ✨
