Spooky sock set includes two spooky Halloween inspired colourwork sock patterns. One is inspired by not so spooky ghosts and the other by witches dancing around the fire. These sock patterns are a must have for all Halloween lovers!
I Ain´t Afraid of No Ghost socks
I love Halloween for embracing the weird, creepy and scary. But these ghosts really aren’t anything to be afraid of. Firstly, they look cute and perhaps more importantly, they are quite easy to knit! So
seriously, no fear when making these. Simply grab some yarn in your stash (less than 50g required of each colour, so you might have some scraps that can be used up!), get your favourite sock knitting needles and cast on.
Knit from the top down, the socks start with a spooky ribbed, sport-sock inspired stripe cuff. These socks have a short row heel (video tutorial included) and a fun to knit stranded colourwork friendly ghost motif pattern. The ghost motif only uses two colours and repeats throughout the leg and foot. The toe is finished by grafting stitches together. This pattern uses the magic loop circular needle method (but can be knit with 23cm (9 inch) circulars or DPNs).
Sizing
1 (2, 3)
To fit (foot circumference): 19.5 – 21 (22.5 –24, 25.5-27) cm / 8 (9, 10 ¾) inches.

For colorwork: 2.5mm (US 1.5), 80cm (32 inch) circular for magic loop, or DPNs, or two circulars or a 23cm (9 inch) circular needle as preferred.
Important note: Do check your gauge for fitting. Further sizes can be achieved by going up or down needle sizes.
Gauge
34 sts x 44 rnds = 10cm (4 inches) for ribbing and stockinette.
34 sts x 36 rnds = 10cm (4 inches) for colorwork.
(Even though a bigger size needle is recommended for the colorwork, the gauge remains the same after blocking because most knitters knit colorwork tighter than stockinette. However, always check your gauge and adjust your needles accordingly).
Season of the Witch socks
Season of the witch socks are the perfect footwear for all wannabe witches and their admirers to wear this Halloween. This design is inspired by images of sorceresses in their pointy hats, holding hands, causing mischief and making magic while dancing around a bonfire.
Knit from the top down with a ribbed cuff, these socks have a ribbed heel flap and gusset construction. The leg section includes an easy to knit stranded colorwork motif of witches holding hands, with a bright fire background that finishes before the heel. The fire toe has some colorwork flames before the toe is decreased and the remaining stitches are grafted together. Only two colours are required to knit these colourwork socks. This pattern uses the magic loop circular needle method (but can be knit with 23cm (9 inch) circulars or DPNs).

To fit (leg circumference): 19 (24, 27) cm / 8 (9 ½, 10 ¾) inches
