Everyone knows I love Fall and Halloween, it’s the best time of the year! I have a whole Halloween playlist that I kick start in September and one of my favorite songs is “The Monster Mash”. So naturally when I saw this pattern coming together as a mesh, the tune started playing in my head.

It is a simple 4 round repeat that will have you singing in no time.

I have knit this in a variegated Southern Skeins Sock yarn and solid stripes Knit Picks Felici, both working up beautifully. You may knit this in any yarn you wish. I do recommend using something with nylon for socks and a tonal if you want the pattern to pop more than the color.

I have learned that I knit a little different from most knitters, I do not count my rounds, I measure my length. So this pattern does not give you round counts to knit by, it gives inches/ centimeters. It is a user friendly pattern that can easily have the cast on, heel, and toe swapped out for one of your preference.
