Halloween Spectacles

"Halloween Spectacles Are you ready for Halloween? Here’s a little pattern that recycles plastic milk-container-rings. It is really easy, and quick to make. The basic spectacle pattern is not written in numbered rounds or rows: It is worked continuously around until the finish. Size can be adjusted by adding or subtracting a chain or more in the temple-sides. The glasses can be adorned with eye-brows, wings, spikes, zig-zag, ears, whatever… OR just leave plain. I added a nose and moustache for a little extra silliness. Enjoy, Keep Smiling and Always Stay Young at Heart!"

NotesEnjoy!
And Have fun!
Happy Halloween!
