Halloween Yarn Sale at KnitPicks – Save Up to 40% on Spooky-Season Colors

by

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect excuse to stock up on yarn, KnitPicks has just dropped a deal that’s too good to miss. Their Halloween Yarn Sale is live now, with savings of up to 40% off on some of the best seasonal shades. Think bold pumpkin oranges, deep midnight blacks, witchy purples, and candy-corn yellows—all the colors that make Halloween knitting and crochet projects come alive.

This is the perfect opportunity to grab yarn for those cozy fall projects: knitted beanies, crocheted scarves, chunky throws, or even some playful Halloween dishcloths. If you’re like me, you know that buying yarn ahead of the holidays saves you from the last-minute scramble (and the full-price regret).

A few fun ideas for this yarn haul:

  • Pumpkin Patch Hats: Bright orange and green skeins make adorable fall beanies for kids or even dog sweaters. 
  • Haunted House Throws: Black, purple, and gray yarns come together beautifully in a striped afghan. 
  • Candy Corn Accessories: Mix yellow, white, and orange for scarves, socks, or dishcloths. 
  • Gift Stash: If you’ve got makers in your life, a colorful skein bundle always makes a thoughtful holiday gift. 

Whether you’re planning a full spooky-season wardrobe or just want to pad your stash with some vibrant basics, this KnitPicks sale is the time to do it. Don’t wait too long—seasonal colors tend to disappear faster than a ghost on Halloween night!

Stitch Your Favorite Fruit on a Sweater

The other day I saw a post from Pinterest about trends for summer and it said one of them was “cultivating whimsy.” 

Well, I don’t know where Pinterest has been all this time, but we’ve been cultivating whimsy here at Craft Gossip for a long time. I love sharing projects that are a little different, things that make you smile when you see them, and will make you smile when you knit them and wear them or use them. 

Such it is with the Tutti Frutti tee knitting pattern from Bea Creative Knits. 

This cute little baby tee is worked top down in the round with contiguous shoulder construction to shape the sleeve caps. There are short rows for the neckline and folded hems with picot edging at the hemline, neckline and edges of the sleeves. 

All of this would be great on its own, but then there’s the addition of a super cute fruit icon, which is added with duplicate stitch. There are a lot of options, including strawberry, banana, orange, cherries, watermelon, lemon, blueberries, kiwi, peach, dragon fruit, apple and pear, so it’s likely you can add on your favorite fruit. 

It is offered in eight sizes, to fit a bust measurement ranging from 28-30 inches (71-76 cm) to 56-58 inches (142-147 cm). The design is meant to be worn with around 6.3 inches/16 cm of negative ease, but you can choose the fit you prefer. There’s also optional bust and waist shaping included in the pattern if you want to make it even curvier.

This is considered an advanced beginner or intermediate project because of all the skills involved, but it’s sure to be a lot of fun even if some of these techniques are new to you.
