Two spooky Halloween hats in one knitting pattern. Knit a row of friendly ghosts or a web of black widow spiders, or cast on both. Each beanie is worked in the round in two colors of Wooly Worsted and finished with a big, squishy pom pom.
This is a two-color stranded colorwork hat in worsted weight that uses just three skeins. It's a fun project to have on your needles as October gets closer.
Want the yarn and a printed pattern in one bundle? The Ghosts Hat Yarn Kit includes all three skeins of Wooly Worsted in your choice of color combo, plus a printed copy of this pattern. Prefer the spider? The Arachnid Hat Yarn Bundle has the yarn for the black widow hat.
Want the whole set? Both hats are also included in our Halloween Hats eBook.

Let customers speak for us
So nice to work with. Gives a good finished product
I am in the process of knitting it now. It is TOO cute.
Love EweEwe Yarn kits with patterns included. β€οΈ the color combinations. I bought 2 kits Lavender Fields and Phoenix Rising. I am eager to make them.
Started the process and loving it. Looking forward to completing the project.
I've been using this yarn to make Christmas (and Chanukah!) sweaters for relatives for years, and it's really perfect. The colors pop, and the fact that it can be machine washed makes life easy on the people I'm gifting them too.
This is my second color combination, so now I need to decide which one to start for the KAL. I have a DIY kit that is all greens, plus the one I ordered as a kit (Vintage). I will probably start with the Vintage.
The uniques twist to Ewe Ewe yarns results in a very warm, squishy texture to garments. It is a very βcomfortableβ yarn to knit with..doesnβt split, and slides through the fingers nicely.
I have been knitting for over 60 years and am impressed with the quality of this yarn. It is a delight to work with and to knit quality items for gifts
Great pattern. Instructions are easy to follow.
Very nice yarn
Very nice yarn
The yarn is squishy and the colors are beautiful. I canβt wait to get started π
So easy! I chose Licorice and Wheat. Had some 2d thoughts when I started. But I am more than 1/2 way through and I am loving the colors together!
I love the feel of this yarn!
My Wooly Worsted yarn for the Timber Hat pattern arrived and the colors are great. I am looking forward to seeing the pattern emerge on the needles!
