I was browsing around the Halloween knitting patterns on Ravelry and I came across a bunch of really cute, sometimes a little creepy, creatures and characters you can knit to decorate your home. Here are a few of my favorites!
This Halloween witch from the Purl Bee is really cute, with green skin and a black dress. My daughter is talking about being a witch for Halloween, so I might just have to knit her one of these!
Julie L. Anderson’s Halloween Ghost is adorable as well, and pretty darn quick and easy to boot.
Eteri Khodonashvili has a somewhat creepy Halloween Ghost Dog that’s a great choice for hiding in the pumpkins or using to startle someone. (You could totally make it with normal eyes, too, if you wanted.)
The Halloween Spider Family from Christine Grant at Mad Monkey Knits is a lot of fun. They’re great in all different colors or make them black and red for extra creep factor.
Chauncey by Blackrayne is a felted skull who would probably get along quite well with those spiders. If you have a tombstone scene anywhere in your decor, these two projects are musts.
The Little Vampire by Justjen Knits is another one where something scary has gone cute. The tiny cape is my favorite. And the Tiny Halloween Witch by Mrs. Lettice Weasel (if that is your real name…) is another tiny treat for a kid in your life or just to knit for fun.
Phoeny’s Mascot House Bats are a perfect touch for a Harry Potter fan, but if you don’t happen to have any Slytherin yarn lying around, you could make the bodies solid, or any color stripe you like.
And Natural Suburbia’s knit cat is totally cute and unscary, but you could knit it in Halloween colors for some adorably irresistible decor.
Have you ever knit a creature of the night for Halloween? I’d love to hear about it.
And make sure you check out my pattern roundups from seasons past: I have pumpkin-shaped hats, Halloween-themed washcloths and candy-corn colored projects. Enjoy!
Super round-up! I wanna make all of them!
