Witch styles to try
A witch can be a single hat cut or a full moonlit flight. Start with the shape that fits your time.
Witch hat
A pointed hat on its own, sometimes with a pair of eyes underneath. It is a single triangle and a brim, which makes it the fastest witch design here. Add a band across the hat by leaving a strip of pumpkin uncut.

Witch pumpkin carving FAQ
- What is the easiest witch pumpkin design?
- A witch hat. Cut a tall triangle with a curved brim beneath it, and you have a pumpkin that reads as a witch from the street. Add two slanted eyes under the brim if you want a face.
- How do I carve a witch flying across the moon?
- Draw the witch and broom inside a circle, then cut away only the parts of the circle that are not witch. The moon glows and the witch stays as a dark silhouette. Cut the large areas of moon first and finish with the slivers around the broom bristles.
- How do I stop the broom handle from breaking?
- Make it wider than it looks right, at least half an inch, and angle your knife inward so the bridge is thicker on the inside of the pumpkin than on the outside. Cut it last, when the surrounding pieces are already out.
- What color light works for a witch pumpkin?
- Green is the classic choice for a witch or a cauldron and makes bubbles look like a real brew. For a flying witch against the moon, plain white or warm yellow keeps the moon looking like a moon.
