Inside out dolls are so fun to play with, and they’re interesting to knit, too.
This Halloween witch is a pumpkin on one side and a witch on the other, and cute whichever way you look at her.
The design is from Meemoodolls on Etsy and calls for fine/sportweight yarn. The pattern is worked flat and comes out about 6 inches tall.
Grab the pattern on Etsy.

I mentioned the other day that there are, or at least it feels like there are, a lot more options for knitting garments to wear in the summer, and I want to share as many of them as I can, but it’s sometimes hard to classify them in a way that makes sense. Thus the collection of knit summer tops with fun necklines. Enjoy.
For example, the Kyoto keyhole top from madebyrosh. This cute little top is made from the top down mostly in the round with a keyhole opening for the neckline and cap sleeves. It’s a made to measure pattern so you can use whatever yarn and gauge you like to make a top that fits just the way you want. The pattern, which is available on Ravelry, includes a PDF lookbook so you can see a bunch of different options for how to stitch up your top.
Una Gil’s Miu Top has a wide boatneck and is worked with a sport weight yarn and a mohair yarn held together. It has a ribbed waist for a cinched look and a more relaxed, drapey upper body. The boatneck can be worn off one shoulder or both, or you can wear it as a classic boatneck. The pattern is on Ravelry and is available in five sizes.
The Anna Top from Lea at kisskiss.rhinestones can be styled two different ways: as a sort of standard looking sleeveless turtleneck or with the hook and eye closures worn at the front. This is more of an option for those with smaller busts, but you can give it a try regardless. There’s also some optional bust shaping in the pattern, which would no longer make it reversible. There are nine size options and the pattern uses sport weight yarn. You can find it on Ravelry.
Ekaterina Filippova-Blanchard has the XOXO Tank pattern, which has a deep V-neck with a wide crossed stitch border at the neckline and the hem. This one uses DK weight yarn and would be a great piece to transition into fall because you can wear it like a vest. There are eight size options and you can find the pattern on Ravelry.
