It’s that time of year! Little ghouls and ghosties run amok in the neighborhood, and we love crafting fun things for them – and for us! Let’s take a look at a few free patterns.
First, Clarice, Chunk, and Clyde in Uptown Worsted (pattern link here).
There is so much personality in these three crocheted monsters! Sized for children through adults, these friends are free patterns in machine washable Uptown Worsted. We decided to make ours in the adult size, so we could have some fun here in the office!
Next, Neon pumpkin and Skull Baskets in Uptown Worsted (pattern link here).
These Fair Isle knits have a piece plastic needlepoint canvas inside to help them hold their shape. It’s optional, but we go through a lot of candy here, so we thought it was a good idea to help them stand up to the frequent “walk-by grabbing.”
Also, Batcape! in Uptown DK (pattern link here).
We released the Batcape last week and blogged about it. Maybe you saw it, but if you didn’t, we don’t want you to miss it. 🙂
Moving to printed patterns, there are some real gems in the book 50 Knitted Gifts for Year-Round Giving, from Sixth and Spring. The book features great projects suitable for any occasion. The Halloween selections do not disappoint!
Spiderweb Boot Toppers (Ravelry link)
Felted Trick-or-Treat Bag (Ravelry link)
Ghoulish Ghost Hat (Ravelry link)
and Black Cat Brooch (Ravelry link).
The book has some great patterns for Thanksgiving, too, but one holiday at a time.
The last thing we’re going to throw out there, for ultimate ease, is a crocheted color pooling scarf in Uptown Worsted Spirit Stripes color 509 MVP.
Hands off the candy corn, though.
We hope you have an appropriately spooky Halloween.
Happy crafting!
