Meet the Halloween Squad

Inside this book, you’ll find patterns for five adorable Halloween characters, each with its own unique personality:

Pumpkin Pete: Crafted with a 3.00 (UK10 – USA D/3) crochet hook, Pumpkin Pete is a friendly pumpkin amigurumi. He comes to life with a pair of 8mm safety eyes (or you can use black embroidery thread and an embroidery needle). Don’t forget your tapestry needle, toy stuffing, and stitch marker to complete this cheerful pumpkin.

Skelly Bones: Skelly Bones is your lovable crochet skeleton buddy. With the same 3.00 (UK10 – USA D/3) crochet hook and 8mm safety eyes (or embroidery thread), you can create this charming skeleton with ease. Make sure you have your tapestry needle, toy stuffing, and stitch marker ready.

Saffy Spellgood: Saffy Spellgood, the friendly witch, is brought to life with a 3.00 (UK10 – USA D/3) crochet hook. Her 8mm safety eyes (or black embroidery thread) add a touch of magic to her appearance. You’ll also need embroidery thread in white, an embroidery needle, toy stuffing, and a stitch marker to complete Saffy.

Bertie Boo: Bertie Boo, the ghostly friend, requires a 3.00 (UK10 – USA D/3) crochet hook, a tapestry needle, toy stuffing, and a stitch marker to join in the Halloween fun.

Frankie Fright: Frankie Fright, the adorable monster, comes to life with a 3.00 (UK10 – USA D/3) crochet hook and a pair of 8mm safety eyes (or black embroidery thread). You’ll also need a tapestry needle, six 4mm mini buttons for his shirt, a sewing needle, sewing thread, toy stuffing, and a stitch marker to create this charming monster.

The Forest Valley Shawl – Crochet Pattern

This is one of those shawl patterns that feels instantly calming, even before you pick up a hook. The Forest Valley Shawl (After Party Pattern 23) by Scheepjes, available through Jimmy Beans Wool, has a very gentle, nature-inspired feel that really lives up to its name.

What I love about this design is how wearable it is. Some shawls are beautiful but awkward to style; this one feels practical in the best way. It drapes naturally, sits nicely on the shoulders, and works just as well for everyday wear as it does for something a little dressier. It’s the sort of piece you grab when the air cools in the evening and you don’t want anything heavy.

From a crochet perspective, this is a lovely “slow and steady” project. The stitch pattern has enough variation to keep your interest, but it’s not overly complicated. It’s very much the kind of crochet you can sink into — the sort that lets your mind wander while your hands keep moving. Perfect for quiet afternoons or evening crochet sessions.

Skill-wise, this one is best suited to confident beginners moving into intermediate territory. If you’re comfortable following a pattern and keeping your stitch count in check, you’ll enjoy this a lot. It’s also a great pattern for appreciating beautiful yarn — especially colourways that shift and flow, as the shawl really lets them shine.

Overall, the Forest Valley Shawl is one of those free crochet patterns that feels thoughtful and soothing. It’s wearable, relaxing to make, and finished with a look that feels timeless rather than trendy. If you enjoy shawls that are as comforting to crochet as they are to wear, this one is definitely worth bookmarking.
