Free Halloween Knitting Patterns

I love decorating my home for holidays, and Halloween is no exception. There are so many Halloween themed knitting patterns that are perfect for decorating your home for Halloween.

This lens will feature a number of spooky knitting patterns that you can use to convert your home into a haunted house. Whether you want to deck yourself in knit orange and black apparel, or you want to create puppets or stuffed toys, you will find inspiration for you Halloween knitting projects in this lens.

I have a whole lens dedicated to Free Ghost Knitting Patterns, but I wanted to share my favorite patterns that I uncovered in my search.
