- While I usually love making a vintage Halloween project every year, I just ran out of time this year. Instead, lets take a look at some cute and fun vintage halloween inspired knits and crochet projects.

Engineering knits is a place for people who enjoy all kinds of vintage and antique crafts - from sewing to knitting, crochet to embroidery I like to try it all. I definitely have a preference for historical fibre crafts, and it is my dream to one day make an entire outfit from sheep to sweater. I hope you enjoy watching me and my favorite companion, Nutella, struggle through some fascinating projects! - Навчання та стиль
I love the idea of the spider web yoke on a sweater. I'd do it without the spider, and then on spooky occasions I'd break out a big sparkly spider pin!
Two videos back to back?? What a treat o:
"Spider K-legs"/torchon lace - that's French for "dishrag" (so: "tor-shon"). Makes sense, given how sturdy-looking the swatch is. All of these vintage patterns and motifs serve to remind us that our grandparents were kooks, too.
definitely want that skull jumper, I'd style it rockabilly but wear it to concerts and things lol
That skull and crossbones sweater popped up on my Pinterest feed and added to my desire to learn how to knit
The return of your gunne-saxoween dress! This dress is probably my favorite of your makes and I just realized that I have 2 project bags that use the same printed fabric!
That lace collar is absolutely lovely, makes me want to try lace-weight crochet for the first time!
That skull and crossbones sweater is something I could absolutely see being sold at one of my favourite punk/goth/vintage shops. I would love to make one, though I’ve never actually done any colour work before as I find it extremely intimidating. I would also definitely make it in black and white, though the red sounds like it would be cute too!
Me too, I want it in black and white also lol
Love your videos, the lace one is filet crochet made up of blocks, spaces and bars and lacets. I am completing a diploma in crochet and have just finished a filet tray mat. ❤
A diploma, fiber arts? Very interested in where you are studying.
I had no idea such a diploma existed! It sound fascinating. Where did you find such a thing?
It was good to hear some of the correct terminology for the aspects of filet.
@@kaytiej8311 Pauline Turner's International Diploma in Crochet she has students from all over the world and it is a correspondence course and no time limit. I could only do granny squares and have learnt so much, can't recommend it highly enough.
@@sonyabloy1704 thank you for this. Might look into it!
@@lissablue176 Pauline Turner international diploma in crochet correspondence course, 3 parts and take as long as you need, love it
I have this exact skull and cross bones pattern saved, omg!!!
That collar is amazing. Is it actually crochet? It kinda looks like tatting....
I keep seeing this pattern. I LOVE this pattern. But, I'm scared of this pattern. Really, I don't think I could make it!
I love the skull and crossbones sweater. I would probably do it in black and white for myself but the burnt orange and bone sounds absolutely beautiful.
That skull sweater is so emo to me lol... Reminds me of something I'd wear in like 2006.
In a pinch, I suggest embroidering a design in duplicate stitch on a sweater or cardigan or knitted dress you already have with spooky designs which can be removed later if desired.
What fun patterns! Thank you for sharing. I loved halloween specific clothing when I was a kid, but as an adult, I don't really understand having clothes that you're only supposed to wear for one month or one season. If I made any themed items it is more likely to be a fall themed sweater or something because I live in the southern US, so I would only be able to wear something like that during the fashionably appropriate season anyway. I did knit two decorative pumpkins from scrap yarn and a modern pattern this year. They are halloweeny, but I didn't put faces on them. We'll probably have them on display until at least the new year. I like them a lot.
The skull jumper is amazing
I don't do Hallowe'en but that skull and crossbones jumper could make an amazing casual pirate look year-round 😂
Make it a vest and add a puffy shirt for effect!
Honestly, it was probably intended to evoke "pirate" more than simply "Halloween" anyway. Pirate-themed movies were huge in the 1950s & 60s. And I had a fair number of hand-me-down kids' books (from my dad & his younger siblings who grew up in the 50s/60s) that were pirate-themed in some way or another. My grandmother had a trunk full of "dress-up" clothes that she saved for us grandkids, & there were a fair few that could definitely be called "pirate style". LOL
@@DrCandyStriper This may need to happen 🤔
Ooooh yess baby! I was hoping you would post a video this year❤
Amazing I’m so excited for this video and the vibezzz
I want to make that skull sweater!
These are all great thanks for sharing!
I love the pumpkin and all the other designs but your crow lamp in the background was the thing that really took my breath away! Now imagin that on a sweater maybe with a gradient yarn for the background
Oooo, I like the collar/ neckline of the skull and bones sweater! 💜
I need these patterns! I definitely want to make a mix of the first two sweaters! I was hoping to find some link in the description :(
Of course I scrolled through your videos to see the dress!! It was two years back and it's FABULOUS! 🎃🎆🎃🎆🎃🎆🎃
Lol i would never make or wear any of these but they were super fun to look at. Also your dress is really cute. I really admire your ability to wear your bold and vintage style with such grace. Me i am solidly commited to jeans and hoodies.
Love the Spider With A Thousand Legs edging. I did a similar filet edging for my curtains 15+ years ago and I am eyeing this up for my halloween decor. Or maybe shawl edging.
The spider with a thousand legs makes me think of a geometric eye of Sauron 😂
The collar would be something I would love to make and wear. The skull jumper took me by surprise. Loved all the things you shared. Happy Hallowwen.
My favorite is the mad mod 60s one! I would love to find that pattern! I've got a few 80s patterns with that dolman sleeve construction that I'm really eager to get to. I've been putting off learning sleeve setting like nobody's business, so all the next sweaters in my queue have in-one sleeves.
Many fun ideas, but as dresses go, Wednesday's party dress of season 1 is just awesome!
I would love to see you make that teal sweater. I think it would be very stylish even by modern standards.
Love this!
Is there any way possible to link the images for the pictures or the pattern source for these project ideas? I can see three I if not all of them being put on my to-make queue by my daughter for her. However, that crochet collar is so my jam that I would make it for me.
Very cool 😀👻🎃
Where do you find these patterns? 😩 Love the skull and bones design
Man, if that skull and crossbones sweater came in black with long sleeves, I'd wear it All The Time! And not just around Halloween either (although I'm someone who uses skull motifs as part of my year round decor, so that tracks)
I knit a Spook-o-lotl sweater for my daughter in deep fall shades. It's a spooky axolotl pattern that I made up for her.
The spider of a thousand legs looks like it could be done fairly easily in filet lace crochet.
Wonderful video, I would be happy to see more pattern reviews on your channel (if you also enjoy making them)
I love the collar. Has given me an idea for next whitby goth festival in april. Just have to find the pattern. Help!!
I love your dress what pattern did you take inspiration from when making it?
where did you get that crow lantern?! it's delightful
Would u ever remake the spider sweater from last year?
Could anyone help me find the "spider with a thousand legs" edging pattern? I am not having any luck. Thank you!
I love the 60's aqua outfit and would love to ponder how it was made. I think it has such a cool stained glass vibe. Is it just an image you ran across or do you have a source or link for a pattern or even just the image?
I second this request!
Can I add a third to this request?
I LOVE Halloween!
The collar looks very modern Wednesday Addams
Has anyone found the Spider With a Thousand Legs link or book source? I’ve been scouring Google, the Internet Archive and Pinterest using various search terms and filters for a while to no avail.
Hm… I only know „the man with a thousand legs“ by Frank Belknap Long…
I think the spider trim could be a trim for a mesh top.
so much knitting to do, so little time!
btw, Torchon has more of a long ah at the end, instead of an uh. you pronounced it like torsion, try more like tor-shahn, but not as far over as tor-shawn... learned from US lacemakers who learned in England...
