It doesn’t seem possible that it should be time to start thinking about Halloween, but if you want to knit all or part of your costume or decor, it really is time to get cracking. I’ll be trying to bring you some great ideas every couple of days through the month of September, and more often as the holiday approaches.
Let’s start with the cute Where’s Waldo? knit hats from String or Nothing. (That’s a link to the pattern page; the actual pattern is here as a PDF.)
These red and white striped hats are a quick and easy addition to a Waldo 
costume. Just pair them with red and white shirts and round black glasses.
The pattern is sized for teens and adults, but smaller yarn and needles could make it kid-sized so your whole family can be a bunch of Waldos for Halloween.

Thanks for the mention! My site, http://String-or-Nothing.com also hosts another free pattern that might please: kids’ knitted “chain mail” – a coif and a hauberk (hood and vest) made from heavy cotton twine from the hardware store, and dyed grey. Outfit that little knight of yours!
