Today’s toy is a crocheted witch’s hat. Design by Craftingintx. Using Bernat blanket and a 4.5 mm hook, this was probably the simplest of the toys for Halloween. The ghost is also quick. https://www.ravelry.com/projects/CraftingInTx/witch-hat-candy-holder
Today’s item is a crocheted car ornament of eyeballs. Design by Craftingintx. Using Red Heart and a 3 mm hook, these are simple to make. I used the nylon cord from Red Heart to make the veins and string. Very effective.
