Creepy Knit Spider Pattern

A friend of mine recently asked on Facebook if people decorate for fall first, then Halloween, then back to fall for Thanksgiving, or if they go straight into Halloween decor. The overwhelming answer was to start with Halloween decorations, so that must mean it’s time to start sharing some spooky season decor.

This knit spider designed by Revati Poole can hold the line between creepy and cute depending on the color yarn you use to knit it and how many eyes you give it. This one is worth checking out all the different projects on Ravelry to see how different people have made it. The ones with stripes are probably my favorite, but there’s a great fuzzy one, too.

The original uses chunky yarn but if you used thinner yarn and smaller needles you could make a whole arachnid family!

You can download the pattern for free from Ravelry.

Recently I shared a collection of Easter egg knitting patterns, and as we all know chicks are what comes out of eggs, so it’s only right to share some chick knitting patterns too. Chicks are perfect for spring decor even when it’s not Easter time, and they are so cute and fun to knit, too.

This fluffy chick from Sincerely Louise can also be worked in less fuzzy yarn if you’d rather. It’s worked flat and seamed so it’s a good one for newer knitters who might not be comfortable working little projects in the round. You can grab the pattern on Etsy.

This little chick from Fluff and Fuzz on Etsy looks like it’s still wearing part of its shell! There’s also an option without the white details, and you can knit these little hats as well. They’re worked in DK weight yarn. (She also has a super cute tiny egg shaped chick in a half shell that’s a free pattern on Ravelry.)

If you want ta chick that’s even more in an egg, this egg-shaped chick from Purl Soho may be what you’re looking for. It’s worked in super fine yarn so you can make a bunch of chicks with a skein or two of yarn, or use leftovers to change up the colors.

Alan Dart has a cute pattern that includes two halves of a broken egg and a chick that fits inside. It calls for DK weight yarn.

The spring chick pattern from Barbara Prime is a sweet little bird shape that you could make as other birds worked in different colors. The pattern doesn’t specify yarn weight, so use whatever yellow (or other color you like) yarn you have on hand to make birds of different sizes.

Make a cute, fuzzy, felted chick with the Chick Wobblers pattern from Cindy Pilon (available on Ravelry). These little chicks come in two sizes and have an “internal wobbler” so when you try to tip them over they wobble back up.
