Crochet Staff Pattern

A Modular Fantasy Accessory for Little Dudes

Some characters don’t swing swords — they channel magic, wisdom, or raw chaos.

The Crochet Staff Pattern is a versatile, decorative accessory designed for handmade dolls and plush characters. On its own, it’s perfect for spellcasters, wanderers, and mystical types. When combined with the blade pieces from the Mix & Match Sword Pattern Set, it transforms into multiple fantasy-style accessories — all soft, lightweight, and fully customizable.

This pattern is all about flexibility, creativity, and character storytelling.

Materials

  • small amount of yarn in desired color in worsted weight or same as doll

  • 3.5 mm hook or same hook as doll 

  • Optional sword blade

  • Optional wire

  • Optional magnet (Dude hand would need a magnet inside) 

Pattern

  •  6 Sc in a MR, or Ch 2 and 6 SC In 2nd ch from hook
  • BLO 6 SC to create a base (or crochet in both loops for a rounded look)
  • 6 SC for desired rows. You can go as tall as the doll (or taller) for a wizard staff, shorter for a weapon handle. 
  • Optional: wire to allow for bending and sturdiness. 
  • Optional: stuff, you can stuff with or without the wire or skip this step. If you don’t wire, I would recommend stuffing, but the staves pictured are wired without stuffing. 
See images below for ideas on how to use the blades to make alternative weapons.
