Wow, this year seems to be flying by. Summer has gone, Autumn has created some beautiful photographic opportunities and now the clocks have gone back bringing early dark nights.
I am hoping for some nice weather this week so I can get out with my camera while I have some time off work. Unfortunately watching the weather forecast is not making me hopeful for this.
However, no matter what the weather decides to do I can still pick up my hook and work some of my own magic ready for Halloween.
Love these little ghosts I hooked up last night. They will look great strung up on invisible thread and hanging in the trees. Wondering if I can find some glow in the dark yarn to make a few more.
If you would like to make your own cheeky ghost, here is my pattern.
Dk yarn
3.5 mm hook
Make a magic ring, 6dc into the ring
1) 2 dc into each (12st)
2) 1 dc, dc inc, repeat around (18st)
3) 1 dc x 2 dc inc, repeat around (24st)
4) 1 dc x 3 dc inc, repeat around (30st)
5 - 11) 1 dc in each
12) 1 dc x 4, dc inc, repeat around (36st)
13 - 16) 1 dc in each
17) 1 dc, 1 tr, 2 dtr, 2 dtr, 1 tr, 1 dc, repeat 5 times, slst to finish.
Weave in ends and add features.
Now I just have to get the fairies sorted out with their Halloween costumes.
