Spooky Season Knitting

Posted in News by Kelsey Sorenson on Oct 1st, 2020
Share |

One of my favorite things about being a knitter, or crafter in general, is that you get to live a little asynchronously. For example, if you’re Halloween-obsessed like me, you get to wear and use items for the holiday itself, but you also get to craft those items year round so that you can enjoy your favorite holiday or season during any month you choose!

Here are some of my favorite Halloween-inspired patterns to help you embrace spooky season.

 

Wearables

Greenwich Cape
FREE by We Are Knitters
For that black cat vibe with little effort.

Arachne
$8.25 by Andi Satterlund
A clever spider web yoke is the hallmark of this subtly seasonal sweater.
(For those looking for something a bit less on-the-nose, Andi has plenty more festive knits in her Spooky! collection, like the Ichabod cardigan, the Morticia sweater, even a pumpkin topper you can attach to a headband or hair comb for a quick costume.)

The Carved Pullover
$5.50 by Emily Haver
A low-key jack-o-lantern look for those who aren't big on costumes but still want a little holiday spirit.

Corryn Shawl
$6.00 by Abigail Phelps
If you’re up for a challenge, a lacy, spiderweb-inspired shawl might be more your speed for a spooky season project.

Sweet Pumpkin Hat
FREE by DROPS Design
There are loads of great pumpkin hat patterns out there, for tykes and adults alike. (This one happens to be free and highly rated on Ravelry!)

 

Home Décor

Pumpking Dishcloth
FREE by Teresa Gregorio
And it doubles as Thanksgiving décor, too!

Chic Little Pumpkins
$3.50 by Rachel Borello Carroll
'Tis the season—these have already started popping up left and right on Reddit! Projects like this can be a fun way to tackle a new skill, like cables, on a small scale.

Arachnophobia Spider
FREE by Revati Poole
Equal parts cute and creepy, and the little Wednesday or Pugsley in your life might enjoy a new plushie.
