Skill level: Intermediate.

Hi everyone, it’s been a while! Another year, and another spooky Halloween sweater. Last year, I made a ghost patterned one with a matching hat for my niece to wear, but she’s since outgrown them. So this year I decided to make her a new set, choosing a new motif of cats and spiders that she adores! The colors this year are very autumn-y and warm, but you can easily recreate the look with a darker palette or any other combination of your choosing. This kids sweater comes in a range of sizes (5 to 12 years old), so you can make a matching set for all your trick-or-treaters!

I’ve made a matching hat that I will be sharing soon. You can also take a look at all my other Halloween themed designs, including sweaters (Halloween Ghosts Sweater, Wednesday Checkered Vest, Candy Corn Sweater, Candy Corn Sweater (Adult size)), hats (Halloween Ghost Hat, Jack-o’-lantern Halloween Hat, Ghost Party Halloween Hat), and bags (Candy Corn Drawstring Backpack, Trick or Treat Pumpkin Bag), most are knitted and some are crocheted. Have a nice knitting day!
