Wanda is a good witch, casting spells with a little help from their black cat. This pair make super Halloween decorations. Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the toys are knitted in acrylic DK yarns. Most pieces are knitted flat (back and forth) on a pair of straight single-pointed knitting needles. The cat’s tail is an i-cord tube knitted on two DPNs. The cape tie and cat collar are single crochet chains. If you are not sure how to crochet, you could use a length of yarn to tie around the neck instead. For confident beginners and above, other techniques used include casting on and off, knits, purls, increases and decreases, and seaming to finish.
