Maybe you feel like crocheting a little Halloween decoration already? It doesn't have to be scary at all!

You might find
colorfully decorated skulls like these in Mexico for “Día de los Muertos,” the Day of the Dead. They are usually made of sugar, but they also come sewn, crocheted, or as masks. If you prefer something a bit spookier after all, crochet a realistic, solid-colored skull and leave it hollow inside so it can be lit with an LED light. It’s very effective!

On Halloween, the witches meet for the
witches’ dance. The mobile with the brightly dressed witches on their broomsticks looks especially good in a window or entryway where there is a little draft. Then they start dancing right away...

The two sweet
bats Gerdi and Ferdi are really nothing to be afraid of; they’re far too cute for that. Both are crocheted from the same pattern: Gerdi from thin chenille yarn and Ferdi from cotton yarn.
