4 Halloween costume ideas<\/strong><\/h2>\n

1. Harry Potter<\/h3>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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

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

2. Eleven (Stranger Things)<\/h3>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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

3. Sadness (Upside Down)<\/h3>\n

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<\/a>, it\u2019s the perfect design to turn into Sadness. Knit it with Mindwoolness<\/a>, a bulky and voluminous yarn in water blue<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Feel like the blue feeling from the Upside Down movie with some jeans handmade by you. We suggest this women\u2019s pants<\/a> sewing pattern with an elasticated waistband from the Cottagecore<\/a> magazine. Sew it with the Winter Denim fabric<\/a> in Indigo Blue. If you want to feel more comfortable, use this knit denim fabric<\/a>. This fabric simulates a jeans effect but is a knit fabric with a soft and flexible feel for added comfort.<\/p>\n

4. Chucky<\/h3>\n

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

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