Well well, time for a quick little Halloween knit!

. . . . . . download the FREE PATTERN now at ravelry.com . . . . . .

Meet “Ghost Bob”, a variation on my popular Blanket Bob Pattern.

He is meant for kids to slip their fingers behind his head, making it easy to carry him around, to clutch and befriend.

A small toy (only 9.5″ tall) and a VERY quick knit.

Totally suitable for beginners, garter stitch only!

There is even a photo tutorial on how to sew him together.

Betty Bobble Lace Hat

midnight knitter — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 04:29:12 +0000

This new FREE pattern was worked up in one night, I had a couple skeins of Spud and Chloe Outer that I was dying to make into a new winter hat.

So here it is!

. . . . . . . . . . download the pdf now . . . . . . .

NOTE: Spud and Chloe Outer is a very unique yarn, I tried working the same pattern with a merino yarn that knits up to the same gauge, but the hat came out very small. So if you are making this hat and don’t want to use the yarn called for, do so at your own risk!
