As a closet red head I never saw my own fiery locks looking back at me from the toy shop aisle. Monica's hair is orange. Red-headed children will recognise themselves in her immediately, but any child who gets handed a knitted witch with this much attitude is going to love her.
She is also the kind of toy that changes a child's mind about knitting. One minute they think it is something adults do. The next, they want to know how.
This halloween witch toy knitting pattern produces a knitted toy approximately 23cm tall, worked in four shades of DK yarn: black, violet, blush, and orange. She is made up of eight separate pieces and seamed together, which sounds more complicated than it is.
The instructions are clear and easy to follow, and Monica knits up quickly. Most knitters complete all the knitting over a weekend. She makes a lovely Halloween gift or decoration, and the sort of thing that gets kept long after October is over.
Designed by Jane Burns. I've been creating knitting and crochet patterns for babies and children for 18 years, so you can trust this one is as straightforward to follow as it looks.
