What you need to know
Here come the girls! The next two housemates have arrived and the Witch has brought her broom (ready to hand over to the Vampire so he can do the sweeping). We love the details on these two dolls, from the star on the Witch’s hat to the beautiful flowers on our Day of the Dead Person. Only small amounts of yarn are needed for the embellishments, so see what’s in your yarn stash. Download the pattern to continue your Halloween knits.
