Haunted Hues Returns
Our beloved mystery knit-along is creeping back — and this year, we're throwing open the door to Halloween Town. A little Jack. A little Sally. A lot of "what's this?!" Limited kits. One month a year. Don't say Zero didn't warn you.
Some People Put Out One Pumpkin.
If you're the kind of person whose Halloween decorations go up the second the calendar flips, who has Strong Opinions about candy corn, who's been planning your costume since June — Haunted Hues is the sock project you knit through October.
Each Friday, a new pattern clue drops. By the end of the month, you're holding a finished pair of toe-up mystery socks in fingering weight, designed by Melinda of rhyFlower Knits — known for original, deeply detailed, size-inclusive patterns.
Sometimes you knit alone with a candle and a true-crime podcast. Sometimes you're in the pop-up Facebook group with 300+ other knitters, comparing color choices and watching someone's cat knock the project off the couch in real time.
Melinda Measor of rhyFlower Knits
Melinda is the designer behind rhyFlower Knits, creating thoughtful knitting patterns that blend timeless style with approachable construction. Known for cozy textures, wearable designs, and clear, accessible instructions, she specializes in patterns that help knitters feel both confident and inspired. Through her patterns, tutorials, and educational resources, Melinda focuses on making knitting feel welcoming, creative, and deeply rewarding for makers at every stage of their journey.
All of Melinda's sock patterns include toe-up and cuff-down instructions, plus low-vision and screen-reader accessible formats. Every pattern comes with written directions and charts for all motifs — so knitters can work their preferred construction in their ideal format.
During the knit-along, weekly clues will be released in the toe-up version. A complete copy of this year's pattern — including both toe-up AND cuff-down versions — will be provided to all Haunted Hues participants via Ravelry once the MKAL has ended.

Five Hues from Halloween Town
Meet this year's color inspiration. Five shades pulled straight from Halloween Town — the palette behind this year's sock set trio featuring one 100g skein + two 20g minis.
Inside Every Kit
A Fingering-Weight Sock Set
One full-size 100g main colorway paired with two 20g coordinating minis — a trio, like a certain trick-or-treating crew we know. All in our Plush Sock base: 85% superwash merino / 15% nylon, fingering weight.
A Mystery Sock Pattern by Rhyflower Knits
A brand-new toe-up sock design from Melinda — released clue by clue all October long. After the MKAL ends, the complete pattern is delivered to every participant via Ravelry — and includes both toe-up AND cuff-down instructions.
