A Couple of Little Witches to Knit

It’s not too late to knit a little Halloween magic if you’ve procrastinated this long. I have a couple more super cute patterns for you for knit witches that would be perfect little decorations around the house or gifts for the little witches and wizards in your life.

The Little Witch from Yarn Birdy can fly around on your finger and is a Wizard of Oz style green witch with a black outfit and hat. Because it is so small it’s a really quick project; you could make a whole coven!

The bewitching Ms. Witch from Just Saying is a doll worked in the round from the feet up. It’s super cute and would be easy to customize to look like your favorite little one by changing the hair and eye color (use duplicate stitch instead of purchased eyes if you want).

I might have to make one of these for my daughter, who wants to dress as Kiki from Kiki’s Delivery Service this year. She doesn’t wear a hat but has a giant red bow.

The other day I saw a post from Pinterest about trends for summer and it said one of them was “cultivating whimsy.”

Well, I don’t know where Pinterest has been all this time, but we’ve been cultivating whimsy here at Craft Gossip for a long time. I love sharing projects that are a little different, things that make you smile when you see them, and will make you smile when you knit them and wear them or use them.

Such it is with the Tutti Frutti tee knitting pattern from Bea Creative Knits.

This cute little baby tee is worked top down in the round with contiguous shoulder construction to shape the sleeve caps. There are short rows for the neckline and folded hems with picot edging at the hemline, neckline and edges of the sleeves.

All of this would be great on its own, but then there’s the addition of a super cute fruit icon, which is added with duplicate stitch. There are a lot of options, including strawberry, banana, orange, cherries, watermelon, lemon, blueberries, kiwi, peach, dragon fruit, apple and pear, so it’s likely you can add on your favorite fruit.

It is offered in eight sizes, to fit a bust measurement ranging from 28-30 inches (71-76 cm) to 56-58 inches (142-147 cm). The design is meant to be worn with around 6.3 inches/16 cm of negative ease, but you can choose the fit you prefer. There’s also optional bust and waist shaping included in the pattern if you want to make it even curvier.

This is considered an advanced beginner or intermediate project because of all the skills involved, but it’s sure to be a lot of fun even if some of these techniques are new to you.
