Halloween 2018: delightfully spooky

Dear users, dear authors,
Halloween is coming soon. If you like spooky decorations, ghosts, spirits, spiders, bats and witches, then you should get started right away.

@Authors,
2-3 patterns per author are enough.
Don’t forget the link and image, as well as the usual information.

Whether as finger puppets or decorations—these little ghosts are definitely a must-have for Halloween!

One is a friendly, funny nighttime ghost; the other is a spooky little fellow carrying his head under his arm. They’re both about 11 cm tall.
You can crochet them in no time using just a few pieces of leftover yarn. I used Catania by Schachenmayr (LL 125m/50g) and a 2.5 mm crochet hook. If you want them a little bigger, you can crochet them with thicker yarn and a corresponding hook.

You can find the pattern here!

Bats are an absolute must for Halloween! 

For these, you only need some black cotton, a little stuffing, and an LED string light. Then the eyes will glow nicely spooky. This string light looks especially eerie in the window or in a dark corner of the room. How many bats you crochet depends on the length of your string light. In any case, they’re quick to make. You can also use them for a mobile made of several bats:
Here is the pattern!

After stocking up on enough candy on Halloween evening, you can sit together cozily in the semi-darkness and read ghost stories aloud.
Of course, the right bookmark is a must. You can quickly crochet this little ghost the evening before from a leftover bit of thin cotton. It is super easy to crochet, so it’s also great for complete beginners. It also makes a nice little gift to bring to a Halloween party.

Decorating for Halloween? 
Oh yes, absolutely! It’s just so much fun!

How about Gernot, for example? 
At my place, there are always a few bats fluttering around in the windows at this time of year, but sometimes they also hang from hanging baskets or lamps...

Or do you like it really nice and big and eye-catching, like Karl-Theodor?
He’s a great size for hanging out on your front door..
At my place, though, he always haunts the living room; he doesn’t like being alone very much...

Or maybe you’d prefer Friedolin?
He can either decorate the breakfast table as an egg cozy or, with an LED tealight in his belly, provide cozy lighting in the evening.

He’s quick to crochet and also great for using up leftover yarn.
