@Autoren,

With the Lina children’s hat and matching scarf, kids can head out safely, since a reflective thread is knitted into the hat round by round, which shines brightly when light is shone on the hat. For both projects together, you’ll need 200g of EMS (8-ply sock yarn).

Admittedly, you can’t cut out this window decoration at the very last minute, but you can definitely do it on the evening before Halloween. Still, it’s better not to put it off—start crafting soon.


 
The window decoration measures approximately 54 x 34.7 cm, is cut out of construction paper, and backed with yellow translucent paper. Since the design has a lot of intricate details, you should already be comfortable using a scalpel or craft knife—then you’ll be able to recreate it quickly and easily.

Still looking for a spooky Halloween decoration? How about this:

This Halloween lantern is quick to crochet and very versatile. Simply crochet around an empty jam jar using black cotton yarn. If you’re invited to a Halloween party, you can fill it with sweets and give it as a gift. Afterward, the jar can serve as a cool lantern with an LED candle inside.

You can crochet them all and combine them into a mobile, hang them individually on a lamp / curtain rod or wherever you like, or decorate your flower pots with them using a wooden stick.

Maybe you even have a completely different idea....
