4 Halloween costume ideas

1. Harry Potter

Dressing up as Harry Potter characters is really easy, all you need is a is a scarf in mustard and burgundy colors, as well as a Gryffindor house tunic.

To feel like Harry Potter running around Hogwarts castle in your tunic, we recommend using a fabric like our Rustic Cotton in black for the outside and a burgundy velvet fabric for the lining.

To make the scarf, we suggest this striped scarf pattern made with circular knitting needles. The perfect colors for this Harry Potter-inspired scarf are Supreme merino in burgundy and mustard.

Here are some other combinations according to the different Hogwart houses.

2. Eleven (Stranger Things)

Throughout the 4 seasons of Stranger Things, Eleven has surprised us with her different costumes. Although her pink dress, blond wig, and blue jacket are, without a doubt, her most recognizable outfit.

Turn your baby into this superheroine with the dress pattern knit in the round using Merino Baby yarn in Very light pink or Light pink. You can combine it with the sewing pattern for this baby jacket available in the miniMe sewing magazine. Use the Soft French Terry sweatshirt fabric to sew the jacket. Finally, put white socks on them and turn your little one into this unique girl.

 

3. Sadness (Upside Down)

In this case, with a wool sweater and blue pants, your Sadness costume is more than ready. We suggest the knitting pattern for this high turnover collar sweater, it’s the perfect design to turn into Sadness. Knit it with Mindwoolness, a bulky and voluminous yarn in water blue.

Feel like the blue feeling from the Upside Down movie with some jeans handmade by you. We suggest this women’s pants sewing pattern with an elasticated waistband from the Cottagecore magazine. Sew it with the Winter Denim fabric in Indigo Blue. If you want to feel more comfortable, use this knit denim fabric. This fabric simulates a jeans effect but is a knit fabric with a soft and flexible feel for added comfort.

4. Chucky

Turn your baby into a tiny diabolical doll with the pattern for this simple knit pullover which you can knit with Baby Jacquard in pink, pistachio and blue if you want to achieve and easy and quick striped effect.

To achieve the costume this evil doll is wearing, we suggest sewing this dungarees pattern from the Cottagecore sewing magazine. Sew it with this microfiber fabric in Navy Blue or with the new winter denim fabric by Katia Fabrics.
