Ghost Knit Throw Blanket, Halloween Pattern in Three Colors, Four Sizes

A knitted throw with a grid of small ghosts across it, in black, tan or pink, and the ghosts are made in the cloth rather than printed onto it. Look at the edge of any one of them and you can see where the two yarns meet.

No print to crack. No stiff patch after a wash. No decal sitting on top of the pile.

The ghosts are knitted in, not printed on

Almost every Halloween blanket this size is a plain fleece with the pattern pressed onto one face, and you find out which kind you bought within a season, because the printed area goes stiff and flat while the cloth around it stays soft. This one is knitted in two colors at once. The ground is one yarn and the ghosts are the other. That is why the edge of every ghost steps like a tiny staircase, with the pile running straight on through it instead of stopping dead at a printed line.

Deep pile, and it is the reason you leave it out

The surface is a long soft pile that stands up off the cloth, so it reads as something you pull over your legs rather than something you drape over a chair for two weeks in October. Close up, the fibers catch the light and soften every edge in the pattern, which is most of what stops a cartoon ghost looking like a novelty.

It lives on the end of a sofa, across the foot of a bed, or over the back of an armchair. Nothing about it is loud. The ghosts are round, with three dots for a face, and they are more cheerful than frightening.

Which of the three to pick

Black is the one that reads as Halloween from the doorway, white ghosts on a flat black ground, and it holds up best against a pale sofa. Tan is a mid yellow brown, quiet enough to leave out all autumn, and it is the one to take if you would rather the blanket did not announce the season. Pink is the loudest of the three, deep and saturated, and it tends to end up in a child's room or a den.

The Small and the Medium are one-person blankets, for a sofa or an armchair. The Large and the Extra Large reach across a bed, and the Extra Large is the one that covers two people comfortably. Exact figures for all four are in the specifications. Whichever you take it is the same cloth and the same ghosts.
