Citizens of Halloween Town and Christmas Town – I am so so SO very thrilled to announce that today the Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas knitting pattern book is out, and that I have a pattern within its colorfully spooky pages!

There are so many fantastic designs inside – everything from décor to toys to costume replicas. And amongst the pages is my blanket! I designed this colorful, reversible throw allowing you to snuggle up with Jack, Sally and the rest of the gang.

Sixteen charts represent Jack, the Clown with the Tear-Away Face, the Vampire Teddy, Zero in his doghouse, Oogie Boogie, the Killer Duck, the Mayor, the Striped Snake, Lock, Harlequin, Sally, Shock, Dr. Finkelstein, Undersea Gal, Spiral Hill and Barrel.

This throw is worked in one piece using a combination of double knitting and intarsia to create a fully reversible color-block blanket with the inverse of each character on the back. Slip-stitch edges create a tidy finish on this squishy home décor item.

I truly loved figuring how to represent each character in knitted form and am so honored that I could participate in this incredible book alongside all the other talented designers.

You can get your own copy here.
