I know we’re getting a little down to the wire for knitting wearables for Halloween, but I couldn’t resist sharing these socks, which you might still have time to knit.
The I’m Batty for Halloween socks from Stone Knits on Etsy are simple orange socks covered with bats. They’re worked from the top down with a ribbed cuff in orange, though the heel and toe are black so you could make the ribbing black too if you wanted to tie it all together.
The heel and toe are both worked in short rows, and the leg and foot of the sock include bats worked in stranded knitting (I assume it’s charted but the pattern listing doesn’t specify). They’re worked in sock yarn and come in three sizes for all your spooky sock needs.
You can get the pattern on Etsy.
In case you’re still looking for other Halloween knitting patterns or fall knitting patterns, here’s a quick rundown of some of the other seasonal patterns I’ve shared lately:
- Pumpkin knitting patterns: In general these are really fast and easy projects you still have time to make!
- These colorwork knitting patterns for spooky season include mitts, coffee cup cozies and a pillow with a little hocus pocus.
- Get some fall-themed knitting patterns here, including a cozy blanket or two, a leaf-shaped pillow, a pumpkin cowl and the cutest vintage-inspired Halloween sweater you’ve ever seen.
- And speaking of leaves, here’s a bunch of great leaf knitting patterns you can stitch up if you live somewhere (like I do!) where it’s not going to look or feel like fall for a little while yet.
Can you tell fall is my favorite season and Halloween is our favorite holiday? Are you knitting anything special for the season? I’d love to hear about it!

Waves Socks– Free Knitting Pattern
These cozy Waves Socks are a lovely choice if you want a handknit sock pattern with a little texture but nothing too fussy. The gentle scallop stitch creates a soft wave effect, making them pretty enough for gifting but still practical for everyday wearing. They’re worked in light worsted weight yarn, so they knit up a little faster than fine sock yarn socks too.
Ladies Lace Top Socks – Free Knitting Pattern
These Ladies Lace Top Socks are a sweet step up from a basic handknit sock, with a delicate lace cuff that adds just the right amount of pretty. The rest of the sock is worked mainly in stocking stitch, so it’s a nice project for knitters who are ready to try sock shaping without making the whole thing overly complicated. A lovely handmade gift idea, especially if you use a soft 4-ply sock yarn.
