She reminds me of Mavis the witch from 'Willo the whisp', which I loved.

I think that you little witch is beautiful and not frightening for children .
It reminds me of the Easter witches which are popular in Sweden and Finland .
Witches there just aren't scary .
They don't have to be !

You're very clever.
I'd like to make things like that, if I could.

Not that I can knit, but I think you could "witchify" her.
What self respecting witch would wear anything other than black? (In fairy tales, at least)

Yes, I’d definitely witch-ify her!
I once made 2 seriously witchy witches - green faces and big lumpy noses! - to go on a Halloween wreath for the Gdcs.

I do too. Just right for a toddler before they get into the scary stuff.

I think it's really cute

Probbly made to look cute because a nasty one might frighten a child and their parents would sue.

Free pattern from Let’s Knit Together - if you subscribe, which I don’t.
I can’t think the Gdcs would be very impressed - apart from the pumpkin she looks more like an oddly coloured Little Red Riding Hood!
