Ambah X Halloween KAL 2025: Join us for an eerie knit-along, knit the Ghost Knitter’s Cowl or any other pattern from Ambah’s Halloween Bundle.

Add a little touch of goth to any outfit with this sweet removable collar. Aranea Collar is perfect for a sweet gift or perhaps a cute addition to your Halloween wardrobe. This delicate collar is reminiscent of cobwebs spun by orb spiders. Knit up in a light weight yarn, simple shaping and strategic garter rows within the stockinette base create a cobweb illusion. Choose between 4 sizes with optional embroidered embellishment. A statement spider or sparkly button will add the final flourish, as would beads or sparkly yarn for a dewy effect.

Pattern includes a video tutorial for the optional embroidered embellishment.
