If you’ve been waiting for the perfect excuse to stock up on yarn, KnitPicks has just dropped a deal that’s too good to miss. Their Halloween Yarn Sale is live now, with savings of up to 40% off on some of the best seasonal shades. Think bold pumpkin oranges, deep midnight blacks, witchy purples, and candy-corn yellows—all the colors that make Halloween knitting and crochet projects come alive.

This is the perfect opportunity to grab yarn for those cozy fall projects: knitted beanies, crocheted scarves, chunky throws, or even some playful Halloween dishcloths. If you’re like me, you know that buying yarn ahead of the holidays saves you from the last-minute scramble (and the full-price regret).

A few fun ideas for this yarn haul:

  • Pumpkin Patch Hats: Bright orange and green skeins make adorable fall beanies for kids or even dog sweaters.

  • Haunted House Throws: Black, purple, and gray yarns come together beautifully in a striped afghan.

  • Candy Corn Accessories: Mix yellow, white, and orange for scarves, socks, or dishcloths.

  • Gift Stash: If you’ve got makers in your life, a colorful skein bundle always makes a thoughtful holiday gift.

Whether you’re planning a full spooky-season wardrobe or just want to pad your stash with some vibrant basics, this KnitPicks sale is the time to do it. Don’t wait too long—seasonal colors tend to disappear faster than a ghost on Halloween night!

Everly Crochet Baby Blanket Pattern Review – Rosette Motifs and Sweet Vintage Style

If you’re a sucker for anything with a little texture and a bit of old-school sweetness, the Everly crochet baby blanket is going to be right up your alley. This pattern is described as being inspired by a “field of blooming roses,” and honestly… that’s exactly the vibe. Those rosette motifs give it that pretty, dimensional look that instantly makes a blanket feel special, even before it’s finished.

What I like about a motif-based baby blanket like this is the built-in “wow factor.” You’re not just making rows and rows of the same stitch (which can be soothing… until you’re 900 stitches in and questioning your life choices). With the rosettes, you get that satisfying sense of progress — each motif feels like a little finished moment, and then suddenly you’ve got a blanket coming together.

The finished size is a really lovely, practical baby blanket size too: approximately 36” wide x 44” long. Big enough for pram naps, floor play, tummy time, and all those cozy cuddles — without turning into a never-ending, queen-size commitment.

This is also one of those patterns that makes a gorgeous gift. It’s sweet and nursery-friendly, but it doesn’t feel overly cutesy. It has that timeless, handmade look that people tend to keep — the kind of blanket that ends up being “the” blanket in family photos for years.

If you enjoy crochet that has texture, charm, and that slightly vintage-meets-whimsical feel, Everly is the kind of blanket pattern that’s genuinely fun to make and even nicer to gift.
