Gorgeous Jack O’Lantern Socks to Knit for Halloween

The other day I mentioned that pumpkins are a great decorative item throughout the fall as long as you don’t carve them.

But there’s definitely a place in our homes — and on our knitting needles — for some Halloween-themed projects as well.

I saw these pumpkin patch socks from Jayne Winn on Ravelry the other day and fell in love. The little jack o’lanterns are so cute, and the stranded colorwork continues on the foot of the sock, making them extra warm and squishy if Halloween tends to be cold where you live.

Because of the stranded knitting it’s suggested you go up a needle size from your normal preferred sock needle size, which, along with the colorwork (just one more round!), will make the project go that much faster.

And even if you don’t finish them this year, they’ll be perfect for Halloweens to come.

The pattern is on Ravelry and runs £3.50, or about $4.73.

Maybe it’s not your Labubu, but if you’ve ever looked at one of those creepy cute dolls and thought “what that thing needs is a sweater,” you’ve come to the right place. These Labubu knitting patterns are super cute and easy to make whatever your skill level.

If you want to keep it super basic, there’s this Labubu sweater from flourish AND fiber. It uses sock yarn and is worked from the top down in the round with a bit of ribbing on the edges but otherwise in stockinette stitch. It says it’s meant to fit all current regular Labubu plush pendants.

Another cute pendant project is the Bubu Cardi by Ginko B. This free Ravelry download uses fingering weight yarn and only uses about 35 yards of yarn, so it’s a perfect scrap knitting project.

Give your Labubu some springtime flair with this sweet little dress pattern by About Yarn. It’s for a 6.5 inch/17 cm doll and is worked in the round using DK weight yarn.

Or get them ready for cooler weather with this cute beanie from Stephanie Connolly. Available as a free Ravelry download, this pattern uses DK weight yarn and has a hole in the top for Labubu’s ears and pendant to pull through.

If you want a more whimsical look, try the Labubu headdress by Shino Craft. This one uses sport weight yarn and makes your critter look like a flower. You can buy it on Ravelry.

Add a touch of colorwork with this adorable heart sweat for a Labubu. This pattern is from kelmadeSG and uses fingering or DK weight yarn (maybe depending on what size doll you have?) and is worked flat in pieces.

Shirley Durmaz made this cute hoodie for a Labubu with two strands of fingering weight yarn (or you could use a DK weight). It’s available on Ravelry.

If your Labubu fan is also a Taylor Swift fan, you’ll want to knit the free Labubu V Neck Cardigan, inspired by Taylor’s Folklore sweater. It uses fingering weight yarn and you can find it on Ravelry.
