What you need to know

The last two housemates have finally arrived and they were worth the wait. The ghost features a basic doll underneath which is then covered in a sheet, just like a classic handmade fancy dress outfit. The pumpkin man is a really "gourd" guy. Finish off his outfit with some simple French knots. Download this easy knitting pattern to complete your play set.
