Inspired by The Nightmare Before Christmas movie, this spooky cowl, created with black light reactive dyed yarn from Gingersnap Yarns, is perfect for the Halloween season. With spiders, bats, snake eyes, and bogeymen you’ll have as much fun knitting it as wearing it.

A provisional cast on edge is used for grafting at the end to create a seamless cowl.

Pattern switches the MC and CC halfway for a fun colourway twist. The charts are provided for both MC and CC variations.
