Spooky season is here! If you have seen posts from this blog before, you know how much I adore decorating for Halloween. I swear I like to start crocheting new decor in July! I have previous posts dedicated to my Halloween doilies (here) as well as to my favourite Halloween crochet and knitted patterns (here). Since I have an obsession with spooky mugs, I thought it would be so fun to create some for the spooky play kitchen.
