The first, Scary Families, has creepy relatives who definitely believe that blood is thicker than water.

In Famous Scaries meet classic characters like the Headless Horseman with crocheted blood spurting from his neck, and his horse Redeye, made in jet black yarn. The Invisible Man “appears” here as well, alongside other horror movie favorites such as Bigfoot. The Living Dead is a macabre mix of witches and ghouls, and the Deathly Companions chapter has murderous villains to stitch. As well as crocheting your own cast of scary toys, in Creepy Trinkets you’ll find patterns for essential Halloween accessories, including spider web bunting and a fearsome wolf scarf.
