A few months ago, I warned you that you would soon be seeing more of the Knitables toys I had been making, but then the pandemic came along and I got distracted. However, the time has come to give you another small glimpse of these adorable toys. This post is not so much about the actual toys than a couple of the Halloween costumes.
I have asked a couple of my Knitable friends to model the costumes.
First up we have cat, who is sporting a very eye-catching Halloween Witch outfit, complete with her very own broomstick.
The back of the dress laces up and has a slot in the back for her tail to fit through.
The witch costume consists of the dress, hat, leggings, pointy toed shoes and a broomstick.
Her costume has a pumpkin coloured dress with black and silver petal shaped over-skirt with a laced-up bolero.
I am a little disappointed how my shoes turned out ..... they do look better on than they do off!
I apologise for the quality of some of my photographs, I am afraid my shadow kept putting in an appearance.
I was afraid that I might run out of the pumpkin coloured yar so I altered the leggings pattern slightly by making the black stripes wider than the pumpkin ones.
No, the hat does not have two points, the second one is a shadow of the first - the light is very poor this time of year and I have to rely on artificial lights!
The little dog is wearing the ever-popular Pumpkin or Jack O' Lantern outfit.
There are button fastenings at the back of the costume and a slot for his tail.
The body has a jolly Jack O' Lantern face and a collar of dark green leaves.
Whilst the cap is topped with three larger leaves and a sweet stalk. It also has holes for his ears.
The bootees also have leaves.
Doesn't he look smart?
I think both of them will make fabulous contributions to this year's Halloween decorations.
Enjoy your Halloween and stay safe.

Thank you Carol. The broomstick was very interesting to make - who would have thought that you could knit a broomstick?

I think cat and dog had a great day trying on all of the clothes - move over Kat Moss.
Have a good evening.

These are adorable and amazing in equal measure and as with all your projects, beautifully done. I love all the details, especially the silver on the dress. I would happily wear either outfit! Happy Halloween xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Lisette, this is a bit like the old days, chatting to and fro on each others blog - I miss your blog. Are yu ever tempted to have another go?
DeleteThose petals were not the easiest things I have ever knitted, but the end result was worth it. It is sad that I have not managed to finish the skeleton outfit but I have only managed one leg so far.
