If you are bored with cute, sick of sweet, and prefer your patterns a little more on the dark side, you will love this gruesome and spooky collection of zombies, witches, aliens, and more. There are five chapters covering characters who have committed all kinds of unforgivable deeds. The first, Scary Families, has creepy relatives who definitely believe that blood is thicker than water. Try making the Queen of the Vampires, complete with felt crown and lace detailing, who is struggling to handle her out-of-control brood, or Mr Alien, who has just landed on Earth, looking to set up a new colony. In Famous Scaries meet classic characters like the Headless Horseman with crocheted blood spurting from his neck, and his horse Redeye, made in jet black yarn. The Invisible Man “appears” here as well, alongside other horror movie favorites such as Bigfoot. The Living Dead is a macabre mix of witches and ghouls, and the Deathly Companions chapter has murderous villains to stitch. As well as crocheting your own cast of scary toys, in Creepy Trinkets you’ll find patterns for essential Halloween accessories, including spider web bunting and a fearsome wolf scarf.

Here’s a unique take on crochet with a collection of projects that are murderously macabre rather than the usual cute and cuddly. If you are bored of cute and sweet crochet, then you will love Nicki Trench’s gruesome, spooky and downright disturbing collection of zombies, witches, murderers, and more. There are four chapters of characters who have committed all kinds of unforgivable deeds. The first chapter, ‘Scary Families’, has creepy relatives who definitely believe that blood is thicker than water, such as the Queen of the Vampires, complete with felt crown and lace detailing. In ‘Famous Scaries’, meet classic characters like the Headless Horseman, who has crocheted blood spurting from his neck, and his horse Hades, made in jet black yarn. ‘The Living Dead’ is a creepy mix of werewolves, witches and the clinically insane, while the ‘Deathly Companions’ chapter has murderous villains and even a shrunken head. As well as crocheting your own cast of scary characters, you will find patterns for accessories including the spider bag complete with eight legs. At the back of the book is a comprehensive techniques section explaining all you need to know, which makes the projects suitable for any level.
