It might be getting a little late to knit a Halloween costume, but there’s still plenty of time to knit something festive to decorate or use in your home for the holiday. Themed washcloths or dishcloths are a lot of fun, and here’s a great collection of ideas if you want to knit a washcloth with a Halloween motif.
Over at About I have a pumpkin washcloth that’s pretty simple and cute. Michelle Strait has an adorable intarsia pumpkin cloth as well. Kelly Daniels knit a pumpkin that looks like Mickey Mouse into her dishcloth; both of those are Ravelry downloads. Kelly also has a cute cat washcloth on her site, One Crafty Mama.
Ravelry user Maku Flo has a great collection of charts that can be used for a dishcloth or hot pad in single or double knitting. Check out her spooky tree, Frankenstein and witch patterns.
Speaking of Frankenstein, Brian McGaunn has another cloth with the head of that particular monster featured.
If you like skulls, there’s an eyelet skull washcloth over at Silvercharmster’s Blog and one worked in garter stitch on a field of stockinette called Skully at Blackrayne.
Smariek Knits has a lovely eyelet bat pattern, and you can use the ghost from a set of Pacman washcloths for a bit of Halloween fun from Tea and Cakes.
