Here in Australia, Halloween isn’t a big celebration, but I can’t resist a cute knitting pattern! Whether you celebrate Halloween or just love a good-themed project like me, it’s the perfect opportunity to create spooky socks, cosy jumpers, and cute decorations. In this post, I’ve gathered some of my favourite Halloween knitting patterns that are sure to bring a bit of festive fun to your crafting. So, grab your needles, pick your favourite yarn, and let’s dive into these knits!

ACCESSORIES

Ghost Party by Twin Stitches Designs

I absolutely adore these socks, especially the two cute ghosts carrying pumpkins at the top! What I love most about this pattern is its versatility; you can knit them both toe-up and cuff-down, using either DK or fingering weight yarn, and there are two heel options to choose from. You can find this delightful pattern for purchase on Ravelry here, and I’m definitely adding these to my queue for next year.

The Spooky Night Beanie by Erin Gates

The Spooky Night Beanie is a delightful worsted weight project that features a fun fair isle design, perfect for chilly October nights. This pattern includes clear written instructions for both the brim and the decrease sections, along with a chart for the main fair isle motif. You can easily play around with different colours for the brim and colourwork sections to make it your own. Available for purchase on Ravelry, this beanie is a must-have for your autumn wardrobe!

Going Batty Scarf by Kate Blatchford

The Going Batty Scarf is super simple but so cute! It’s a fun, reversible scarf that adds a playful touch to any Halloween outfit. This pattern is easy to follow and looks great on both sides. If you’re looking for something quirky and cosy, you can grab the pattern on Ravelry here.

JUMPERS

Nocturnal Jumper by thepetiteknitter

The Nocturnal Jumper is a stylish unisex knit, designed top-down with a unique circular yoke. Available in ten adult sizes, this jumper offers customisable body and sleeve lengths for a perfect fit. You can purchase this pattern on Ravelry. To complete your look, don’t miss the matching Shadow Socks, which I’m about to cast on myself!

The Witching Hour by Hannah Mann

The Witching Hour is an absolutely stunning swoncho that’s perfect for the chilly seasons! Knitted from the top-down, this piece has a loose fit with snug sleeves from the elbow down. It’s available in sizes to fit bust measurements from 30” to 65”, allowing for 5-10” of positive ease for that comfy, relaxed look. I can just imagine wearing this cosy creation all autumn long and into winter, especially in gorgeous colour combinations that reflect the season. Definitely check out the Ravelry page to purchase the pattern and get inspired by the beautiful projects other knitters have crafted!

Superstitious Pullover by Michael Shaun

Welcome to the Superstitious Pullover, the final sweater in my Halloween knitting roundup! Designed with Halloween nostalgia in mind, this delightful pullover features various colourwork charts, including witches, black cats, and Halloween-themed words, allowing you to customise your piece to perfection. Perfect for embracing the festive spirit, this pattern is available for purchase on the designer’s Etsy page here. Get ready to knit a pullover that captures the magic of Halloween!

DECORATIONS

Boo Coasters by Margaret

The Boo Coasters are such a fun and quick project that can add a festive touch to your Halloween decor—or even serve as cheerful decorations year-round! Knitted flat with DK weight yarn and 3.75mm (US 5) needles, these coasters are a perfect way to practice your colourwork before jumping into some of these other projects. You can opt for classic Halloween colours like orange and purple, or get creative by using whatever yarn you have in your stash that complements your home decor. You can find them on Ravelry here.

Munchkin Pumpkin by The Sleepy Stitch

Looking for a customisable and beginner-friendly project? This adorable knitted pumpkin pattern is as flexible as it is fun! Create a tiny pumpkin for your mantel or a jumbo one for your porch, choosing classic autumnal oranges or unexpected hues to match your style. With no increasing or decreasing, this cute pumpkin is super simple to make—you’ll have a whole pumpkin patch in just a couple of hours!
