Great Halloween activity for children! Get them to have a go at knitting a leg, or help design a spider face; great for inspiration as well as a fun challenge for them. Red eyes, extra fangs, or maybe just several creepy eyes. A spooky handmade spider for Halloween or stick to a happy smiley spider to dangle around the house! Knitted pumpkins and knitted bat as seen in the last picture are suggested little additions to your handmade Halloween collection, but unfortunately sold separately - do check them out too!

The Disclaimer Bit…!

Timings are approximate and so don’t hold me to it. Children are constantly interrupting me, and it’s easy to speed up or slow down depending on how happy/cross I am.

The sizes I have written are also approximate and so I will not be held responsible for time spent on creating these patterns or materials used should yours not quite look right. Everyone’s yarn and tension will be different. I am not loyal to any particular brand of yarn - it’s whatever I find in my basket from over the years.

Use these patterns as you so wish for personal use only, both for ideas or using the patterns to make your own. However, your own work is at your own risk. I am not taking responsibility for any personal, child, or other person needle injury or such-like. If using any of these patterns for ideas to make and/or give as a gift for a child, please choose appropriately for the child’s age and ensure your sewing, particularly of buttons, is top-notch to avoid any choking hazards.
