The young trio parading as Oogie’s henchmen—Lock, Shock, and Barrel—are trick-or-treaters who live in a creepy topsy-turvy treehouse above the lair. Put in charge of kidnapping Sandy Claws by Jack, they serve Oogie out of fear, as well as the delight in making mischief and harassing the residents of Halloween Town. Travelling by enchanted bathtub, the trio mistakenly kidnaps the Easter Bunny, but eventually makes it right by kidnapping Santa and pushing him down a metal tube into the hands of Oogie Boogie, going expressly against Jack’s instructions. The trio all wear masks that eerily resemble their actual faces.

Perfect for a first sweater project, this top-down costume replica raglan is knit in the round with garter edgings—a surprisingly mischief-free knit! Easy German short rows raise up the back neck for a better fit, and top-down construction means adding torso or sleeve length for your ever-growing henchman is an easier task than kidnapping Sandy Claws. Bone motifs are cut from washable craft felt and attached with either needle and thread or waterproof craft glue.
