Welcome to The Haunted Yarn Ball 🎃🧶

This October, we’re hosting a month-long Haunted Yarn Ball. Think prom, but with patterns, yarn, and significantly fewer uncomfortable slow dances.

Okay. The dancing might still be awkward.

For all 31 days of October, a brand-new spooky pattern will be taking the dance floor. Every morning, yours truly will update this page with the day’s featured pattern, so there’ll always be something new lurking here waiting for you. 👻

Come back every day to see who’s arrived at the party, grab the featured pattern, and add another delightfully spooky project to your October making list.

Or, even better, sign up for the Morning Seance and I’ll send you a quick little email letting you know the newest pattern has entered the ballroom, so you don’t have to remember to check back. Consider it your daily invitation back to the party. 💌

There are 31 spooky patterns headed for the dance floor this month.

The decorations are up.

The yarn is ready.

Someone has definitely put Monster Mash on the playlist.

Welcome to the Haunted Yarn Ball. 🕸️✨

Behind the stitches

Meet May and Nacho.

It all started when I knit myself my first sweater… and immediately decided Nacho needed one too.

That first dog sweater was quite the crash course in turning a human sweater into something that would actually fit a dog, but somehow we made it work.

Getting stopped on walks by people asking, “Wait… are you two matching?” brings me so much joy.

FAQ

Before you pin on the yarn corsage.

What is The Haunted Yarn Ball?

A month-long Halloween knitting and crochet blog hop with a different featured pattern deal every day in October 2026.

You can grab the All Access Pass for the complete collection if you miss a daily reveal.

What time does the new pattern go up?

The page is updated each morning at 8am ET with the day’s featured pattern and details.

Nope. You can come back to this page every day. Signing up just gives you a daily reminder so the newest pattern does not sneak past you.

How long are the daily deals active?

Each daily offer is only available for its featured day unless the designer says otherwise, so it is best to grab it when it appears.
