When the bony hero of Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas, the skinny Jack Skellington, sang the lines "And since I am dead I can take off my head, to recite Shakespearean quotations..." I knew he was the skeletal guy for me. So when I saw a knitting pattern for the pumpkin king I had to share.
The Jack Skellington knitting pattern is offered free on Ravelry (where else?) by knit designer, Sunshyne Leyland.
She's probably better know for her felt-to-fit baby Yoda hat, which has been adding a Jedi air to the younglings of force fans since 2006.
The deft designer also makes suggestions for turning your skeletal fellow into 'mirror dice' and making him posable.
He also seems to be out on a date with a rather glamorous Barbie doll in the pattern photo. I'm not jealous at all.
