Halloween knitting patterns to get you into the spirit

I know what a creative lot you are – and that you’re always on the lookout for new ideas to make. So… how about some cute Halloween knitting patterns to get you into the spirit? To be totally honest, I’ve always been a bit resistant to the whole gruesome vibe of Halloween so I make no apology for picking cute ideas to enjoy. There’s not a single drop of blood or murderous ghoul to be seen here. Think fluffy tiny knitted pumpkin fairy lights, smiling witches and cute kittens… As most lovable Halloween knitting patterns go, I think we’re winning. If it’s zombies, vampires and the living dead you’re after, not so much…
