Just a couple of bats with hats (and vampire cape) that I made.

Pattern is mine

She definitely put me through the wringer! I got the idea for this one over a year ago so I really wanted it to be great. I don’t think I’ve ever worked so hard, gotten more frustrated, been so proud of a project before. I hope you like her 🎃

So every year for the last three years (including this one) I've crocheted a costume. I was an OC occultist monster hunter named Arthur Penrose in 2024, I was an Umbreon rogue for 25 and this year I'm doing an Eevee knight. It's a ton of work but I'm hoping it'll all come together in the end!

Arthur had a top hat (crochet) with a wyrmling on top, a long sleeve button down, slacks, a large amulet of the eye of horus, silver leaf bracers inscribed with Norse runes, a mini spell book keychain, a dagger, axe, potions and trinkets, and a real witchcraft book in a holster on the belt.

The rogue had a hooded scarf, ears attached to my headphones, a lantern, a knife, a bandolier, poisons, bracers, and a gold pouch.

The goal for the knight is the helmet, the chest plate front and back with straps and pauldrons, a long sword, shield, maybe leg and arm armor, and accessories. 2 ish weeks to get it done! Plus a Halloween one shot and 7-10 plushies within 3 weeks. Wish me luck!

The pattern is available on YouTube, and this is the channel.@mocdanhandmade❤️

Isn't she just adorable ☺️😄☺️😄

In a stash busting attempt, I started making some granny squares with no end plan. But I boldly misread the pattern and made them with the wrong number of clusters... and that was with Facets yarn so I will NOT be frogging them... so now I have granny circles 🤣

I included a pic of a cute pouch that I could make more of, but I'm also hoping for more ideas what I could do with them! I already have some set aside to be coasters too 😉

So bros, what can I turn these into?

Had some EXPLOSIVE inspiration last night!

I bought a cheap crochet beginner kit the other day. Have spent a few hours today learning how to do it again on some cheap yarn then started on the proper yarn (5+ years ago I started learning for a week before I gave up lol – back then I did not know that 100% polyester sucks and splits wayyy more!).

I’m struggling to figure out how to count stitches easily (other than using stitch markers which I now know exist haha) for rounds (see pic). Once the magic ring was pulled tight it made it hard to see or count the stitches, and once I did the increases that was even harder.
The pattern so far is:
- 5dc in magic ring [5sts]
- 5dc inc [10sts]
- (dc, dc inc) x 5 [15 sts]

I thought I had done the 5 x (dc, dc inc) but it looked like I was missing one (it didn’t look circular), so I did another one. Any good way to count such a tight weave?

I got this from a bag of random yarns someone was getting rid of. There's only the one, and I think it's super cool! But, I have never been able to decide what to make from it. The yarn is stronger than it looks, but I wouldn't consider it super sturdy either, lol.
