DESCRIPTION
Bring a little Halloween magic into your kitchen with this set of three interlocking crochet panels featuring the Plumpy Pumpkin, the Googly Ghost, and the Wobbly Wizard Hat!
These thick, durable panels work up quickly and make for a fun seasonal project that is as practical as it is charming. Use them as potholders, mug rugs, or simply as a festive addition to your fall décor.
They are shown here in fingering weight yarn, but any yarn work will beautifully with these patterns. Simply adjust your hook size to achieve a dense, gap-free fabric, and keep in mind that your finished measurements and yardage will vary accordingly.
This pattern includes stitch charts and row-by-row written instructions for each of the three designs, making them a great next project if you are already familiar with the basics of interlocking crochet.

New to the technique? My book, Interlocking Crochet, covers everything you need to know from start to finish, with detailed step-by-step photos to introduce you to the technique, and a directory of 50 reversible stitch patterns and five project patterns to explore.
Available online and at bookstores worldwide.
Please note that the Creepy Cute Potholders are not included in the book.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
After blocking, one potholder measures approximately 6.25 inches (16 cm) across, including the border.

DIFFICULTY
Intermediate

REQUIRED SKILLS
This pattern provides stitch charts and row-by-row written instructions for each of the three designs, as well as basic information such as a brief overview on the special interlocking stitches, but they do assume you already know the basics of interlocking crochet.

MATERIALS
• Yarn: The samples are shown in fingering weight yarn, but any yarn weight will work great with this pattern. Remember to pick an appropriate hook size: the goal is to create a dense enough fabric so that there are no discernible gaps you can peek through. If using a different yarn weight and hook size than the pattern suggests, your finished measurements and yardage will vary.
• Shown in: Hobbii Friends Cotton 8/4 (100% Cotton, 174 yds / 160 m per 1.75 oz / 50 g skein) in 35 Coral, 94 Turquoise, and 64 Nightshade as main colors, and 123 Charcoal as the contrast color.
• Hooks: US C-2/2.75 mm (main gauge) hook and US B 1/2.25 mm (secondary) hook, or sizes needed to obtain gauge. I’m a tight crocheter, so you may have to go down in hook sizes.
• Notions: Scissors, yarn needle, locking stitch marker.

YARDAGE
The approximate yardages for one potholder are as follows:
Main color (background color on the RS): 50 yds/46 m of any fingering-weight yarn.
Contrast color (shape outline on the RS): 35 yds/32 m of any fingering-weight yarn.
These yardages are estimated. Check out the tester lookbook on my blog for exact yardages from my testers, as well as a list of yarn substitution ideas!
