Halloween Skull Quality Street Box Cover and Knitting Pattern

Description

Celebrate Halloween with a spooky twist on sweet presentation. This Halloween Skull knitting pattern transforms a standard Quality Street box into a chilling centrepiece, complete with a grinning skull, skeletal hands, and piecing red eyes that watch over your treats. It’s a fun and eerie alternative to the usual sweetie dish; perfect for Halloween parties, trick-or-treat tables or seasonal displays.

The knitted cover that wraps around the sweet box is cleverly designed to resemble aged wood, giving the impression of a rustic barrel. Its cylindrical shape adds to the illusion, making it look as though the skeleton is trapped inside; ready to spring out and snatch a treat or someone taking a treat. With skeletal hands gripping the rim and a skull peering over the edge, the whole setup feels like a mischievous Halloween surprise waiting to happen. It’s a playful twist that turns a simple sweet box into a spooky centrepiece.

The cover is designed to fit a classic Quality Street tub and can be refilled with any sweets you like. The skull, bony hands, and box wrap are all knitted flat using Stylecraft Special DK yarn on 4mm needles. The six-page pattern includes detailed instructions, clear photographs, and links to a helpful technique video, making it easy to follow. You can check out the help video below.

This is Halloween knitting with bite; eye-catching, playful, and just the right amount of creepy. Add it to your seasonal collection and let your skeleton guard the goodies.

If you’re purchasing the finished Halloween Skull Box Cover, please note that it includes the knitted cover only. The Quality Street tub and sweets are not included.

A skeleton with a sweet tooth; knit your way to fright-night flair.
