Spiderweb Vest - Free Pattern

Spiderweb Vest

I made this because I know I will be needing some sort of costume for my youngest child’s Halloween party at preschool, and it cant be scary or to warm as it get really hot in their classroom. So I came up with the spiderweb vest. Made mostly with chains its easy fast and light weight its perfect. Would be extra cute if you added a few plastic or crocheted spiders to the back of it to really make it pop, but I went with simple for now. Hope you like it and Happy early Halloween!

Frankenstein Sweater for Pup

Frankenstein Sweater for Pup

I made this pattern because although the Frankenstein Cowl for Pup is adorable its not very warm, and where we are it gets cold on Halloween. When I was a kid we had to wear our snowsuits under our costumes it got so cold and snowy. So we all looked like the state puff marshmallow man trying to wear a costume lol. I even remember getting around on a sled! So for Pup I defiantly needed to make something warmer then the cowl so I used the same look but turned it into a sweater this time so pup can stay nice and warm all night long. 

This paid pattern can be found online at my Ravelry Store or Craftsy, hope you enjoy and happy hooking!

Crochet Frankenstein Headband -Free Pattern

Frankenstein Headband

I made this pattern because the kids just loved the Frankenstein outfits I have been making for my pups, so I had to come up with something for them too. This is what I came up with the Frankenstein Headband! I quickly whipped up a headband, and took a bit of time coming up with a smaller and simple version of the bolts, it was done! I decided to make it a headband for the girls, and it was a big hit!(not sure on what I'll make for the boys) They call it Frankie's headband from Monster High (they have been over the moon about these dolls for some time now), so I'm glad they like it whatever they call it :) . Hope you all like it as much as the kids do!

Frankenstein Cowl For Pup with or with out Hood 6 sizes!

I made this because I have been thinking about Halloween. It's just behind the corner! I have a ton of costume ideas and have not been able to settle on one. Until I saw this beautiful scoodie someone had posted in one of the groups I follow and I immediately started thinking about a Frankenstein version would be super cute but I'm not one to dress up so I then started thinking about how I could make it for my pup and the Frankenstein cowl was born. Hope you enjoy!
