It has been a crazy year so far and I’m sure we’re all itching to put that Christmas tree up and call an end to the madness of 2020… (even my husband has already been buying Christmas baubles and he usually moans at me for putting the tree up early!)

Despite all that, I couldn’t let the opportunity pass by to create a Halloween themed MKAL! For this MKAL you will get the entire pattern immediately, rather than single clues at intervals and I will set up a forum page on Ravelry for each clue in case you want to share your progress as you knit along!

The completed pattern will be released 25th October, at which point it will revert to a paid pattern so I hope you’ll join in while you can! If you’re looking for more toys knits to keep you busy, all patterns in my Ravelry Store will be enjoying a buy-one-get-one-free offer until 31st October (no coupon needed, patterns will be discounted when checking out on Ravelry).
