Jack O’Lantern Halloween Knitting Patterns

by 2 Comments

Fall might not quite be in the air just yet, but crafty people are definitely starting to get into the fall vibes. I’m longing to knit a big snuggly sweater (and some more pumpkins!) and I’ve been on the lookout for cute knitting patterns featuring jack o’lanterns. Here’s a few things I found.

The Bernat “Very Scary” Pullover features a jack o’lantern face on the front and is sized for kids 2-8 years. This is a free pattern on the Yarnspirations website.

This little Halloween hat from Wiam’s Crafts offers options with jack o’lanterns and ghosts. The top of the hat looks like a spiderweb, too. This free pattern is sized for toddlers and bigger kids.

Rosemary Davis’ Jack-o-lantern Socks (available on Ravelry) are basically normal socks with a jack o’lantern pattern below the cuff and a cute contrasting heel and toe (which is optional, of course!).

These cute tiny treat bags from dollytime on Etsy are adorable for holding little treats for a Halloween party or if you don’t have a ton of trick-or-treaters. Options for embellishment include a pumpkin, witch, cat and owl.

Jack o’lantern dishcloths are a classic and fun project to knit that only requires knowing knits and purls. This version from Daisy and Storm is a great square to use as a washcloth or in an afghan. You can get it on Etsy.

Add Shelley Winiger’s double knit jack o’lantern pot holder and you’ll have a whole holiday ensemble for your kitchen. This one is a free download from Ravelry.

(Speaking of free downloads form Ravelry, check out my Halloween coffee cup cozy.)

If you have a little kid to knit for, these Jack O’Lantern longies are adorable and not that hard to knit. Designer Alison McCalister offers several different faces that can go on the butt of the pants so you can decide the expression on your pumpkin. Download from Ravelry.

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?
