Halloween Knitting Patterns to Cast On This October

Molly Grimm

Halloween knitting might be one of the best parts of fall knitting. Pumpkins, ghosts, cozy sweaters, spooky socks - there are so many ways to bring a little Halloween into your project bag without necessarily knitting something you’ll only use for one night.

I rounded up 11 Halloween knitting patterns that caught my eye this year. There’s a mix of quick seasonal projects and bigger knits, so whether you want something you can finish before October 31st or just want an excuse to cast on something a little spooky, there’s plenty of inspiration here.

A little yarn inspiration, too

The yarn pictured above is Blue Sky Fibers Woolstok Light, a fingering-weight 100% Highland wool that comes in a really beautiful range of colors. With so many shades to work with, it’s an especially fun option for colorwork and small seasonal projects-including a little Halloween knitting.

You can read my full Woolstok Light yarn guide here if you want to see the yarn stats, project ideas, and what I think this yarn is actually good for.

More Halloween Knitting Inspiration

One of my favorite things about seasonal knitting is that it gives you a reason to try something you might not normally cast on. Maybe that’s colorwork with tiny ghosts, a pair of pumpkin socks, or a completely ridiculous Halloween sweater that only gets worn for a few weeks every year.

Save this list for your fall knitting plans-and if you make one of these Halloween knitting patterns, I’d love to know which one you chose!
