Fun Halloween Knitting Patterns

October 1, 2015 by Sarah White 2 Comments

Halloween knitting patterns are starting to pop of everywhere, and if you want to knit a bit of holiday decor or a piece of a costume now is the time to get going if you haven’t already.

Last year I did a great round up of pumpkin knitting patterns, and I really think I might need to knit some this year. My crafty compadre Stephanie also has a great idea on her blog for no-knit yarn pumpkins that are adorable and take about 10 seconds to make.

Speaking of pumpkins, Knit Picks has a super cute pumpkin washcloth pattern I would love to use to wash up this time of year.

Red Heart has a great ebook full of 25 knit and crochet projects for Halloween decor and more. Quite a lot of it is crochet, but the patterns are easy enough you might be able to convert them to a similar design in knitting. And I love the little scrubby ghost! This one’s not in the ebook but I love the candy corn baby cocoon, too.

The Hagar and Helga knit Viking helmets from Yarnspirations are adorable as well. The Purl Bee’s Candy Corn pattern is so cute, and I don’t even like candy corn.

The little black owl from Kat at Just Crafty Enough is super cute and pretty darn fast and easy, too. Or try a tiny Halloween Witch from Mrs. Weasel. So darn cute and a great odd ball project, too!

This one’s a classic I’ve probably shared before but I love Megan Reardon’s Hallowig from a long-ago Knitty. It’s fabulous. Someday I will knit one. Another classic is the Witchy Hands from Lion Brand Yarn. (They have lots of other great Halloween projects, too, but the knit and crochet are a little mixed in.)

And of course there are my Halloween knitting patterns over at About.

All of that should give you a good start. Are you knitting anything special for Halloween? I’d love to hear about it!

Christmas Stocking Knitting Patterns for Your Pets

I’ve shared a lot of Christmas stocking knitting patterns over the years (see posts 1, 2, 3 for example) but what if you want to knit a stocking for a non-human member of your family. If you’re looking for Christmas stocking knitting patterns for your cats or dogs, this is the post for you.

These large paw print stockings are perfect for either dogs or cats, so they’re great to knit if you have both. They are worked in the round using DK weight yarn, and the stocking measures about 17 inches/43 cm from the top to the heel. You can get the pattern from nicolaluke.

The K4 Project has a super cute Kitty Christmas stocking pattern, which is worked in worsted weight yarn. They also have a dog version, or you can buy both and get a discount if you have both dogs and cats to knit for. Both projects have two patterns, showing how to work the stockings flat or in the round.

Put your dog into a Christmas scene with this stocking pattern from ifanhourChild. It shows a dog in a dog house in the snow, and has room for the dog’s name at the top. It’s worked flat using worsted weight yarn and the pattern includes charts for many small and medium dog breeds (there’s a separate listing for bigger dogs) so you can stitch a dog that looks like yours.

Annie’s Woolens has both dog and cat stocking knitting patterns that are worked in worsted weight yarn in the round. You can change up the colors to suit your pet if you want, and they come with an alphabet chart for personalization. Or you can stick with holiday colors and buy a kit to make the dog or cat stocking.

Waiting for Santa Paws is a pattern from Kate Agner on Ravelry that would be cute for a dog or a cat. It looks like a leg with a paw print on the bottom part of the foot and more paw prints running around the top of the leg. This is a great option if you don’t want to mess with a heel turn because it doesn’t have a heel, because dogs and cats don’t have heels so why would their stockings?
