What you need to know

Dust off your dancing shoes and do the monster mash with Elbie the alien!

Halloween is that special time of year when you can go to a party dressed as whatever you choose. Our little alien wanted to be a purple pumpkin so he’s fulfilling his spooky dreams in this fa‘boo’lous costume. We adore this cute creature who was designed by Sarah Louise Read and, unusually for our crocheted toys, has a body that’s worked in flat rows rather than rounds, because we just love to keep you on your toes!
