All Treat, No trick

So Halloween is basically here, so I figure, it’s time for a new, Halloween themed pattern.

I was searching online for a pattern for an easy bat, but I really couldn’t find any, so I figured, why not make one? So I did, and I think it turned out really nicely. You might recognize this bat sewn onto the girls Halloween hat (left) available here.

These pins are available to buy here.

So here are some photos of what you can make!

How to Crochet: Wings

Man, I got some good puns.

So I recently bought myself a new camera to commemorate the blogs popularity (obviously that’s a lie haha), and to commemorate my new camera, I made a new pattern!

When I was making my bat hat, I looked around for a pattern for wings, but couldn’t find anything that really worked, so I made some and thought of some other uses for them, and thus came the owl and snitch!

Without further ado here it is!

Note: This pattern is for the wings and main body only, the entire pattern for the owl is coming soon, so check back.

How to Crochet: A Mustache

How punny do you think I am?

That’s a double pun right there. Okay, so mustaches are pretty popular now, and all I can grow is a dirty little fuzz-stache. So I made a pattern for me and everyone else who lack the necessary hormones to grow a great mustache! Here’s a few photos of some different colors and my cousin posing with the finished product.
