Halloween is coming up! It is that time of year again that you can give people a good scare and then have a laugh about it!   Children love halloween for 2 different reasons, I believe. The first one is that they get to play dress-up and the second of course is candy!  Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure that grown-ups love halloween for the same reasons. Well, most of them. So let's make a crochet, pumpkin shaped, basket for the little ones to go on trick or treating. But even if this fine holiday is not celebrated in your country you can make a small basket to decorate your home and let the spirits come to you!

This is a simple colour block scarf  made using the  technique of the Tunisian crochet, worked from the centre outwards. It is a nice change from always working in TSS (Tunisian simple stitch)   and is a good next step for someone who wants to play with colour and stitching a bit.

The pattern for these adorable toddler legwarmers was designed by Jessica Spencer from Chaleur Life  exclusively for My Hobby is Crochet.
