Keep yourself extra snug this winter with our Ghostlava, protecting yourself from all the elements (including the spooky kind!)

This fun little pattern is knitted entirely flat from the top down, then sewn together at the end. Work back and forth, following the colorwork chart and making increases and decreases to shape the head and neck. Then finish by sewing together and working I-cord edging around the neck and face hole.

This pattern uses a provisional cast-on, Kitchener stitch and blanket stitch. You will also need to follow the colour work pattern from the chart instructions only.
