Do you love Halloween? I know that so many of you do! I mean, what’s not to love? There’s candy, costumes, revelry… all kinds of fun! Some of my favorite memories involve venturing out for trick-or-treating on a cool, autumn evening, crunching through leaves, and learning from friends about the houses with the big candy bars! Halloween is so much fun for kids!

The fun doesn’t have to stop in childhood, my crochet friends! Crochet has endless possibilities when it comes to costume elements, trick-or-treat bags, and even Halloween decorations! I think I am going to design a pair of animal ears and attach them to a headband for a semi-costume this year. I also want to be ready for the trick-or-treaters this year, so you know I will be crocheting something spooky to decorate the porch!

Guess what! There are a number of great Halloween patterns on Crochet Spot. Here are a few that could help make Halloween special for you and for the kids in your life! 🙂

Stitch ‘n Bitch Crochet: The Happy Hooker introduced me to the cool side of crochet.

There’s so much to love about this book, but it’s not perfect. Check out the book for yourself on Amazon (I just love the “Look Inside” feature). In the meantime,here’s my short review of this book.

Want to give a room a splash of color? Or maybe a jolt of floral attitude? Try this pattern and go as crazy with color as you wish, because as a crocheter, you can do it! The thing that grabs me the most about crocheting is the ability to go wild with color. I love color: bright color, warm color, vibrant color. It can really improve a mood if you let it. So feel free to experiment! This pillow pattern is crocheted in two panel pieces that are then crocheted together around a pillow form. The flowers are crocheted separately and sewn onto the pillow.

There is much organize and to be organized, and besides my dear dogs are begging me for more and more attention. Where can I find the time to crochet!!!???
