DIY Halloween Costumes: How can you make the most of our qualities?

If we had to recommend just one quality from our entire catalog for your Halloween costume ideas, we would recommend:

Rubí Clásica : available in as many colors as you can imagine. For this time of year, at Lanas Rubí we love to experiment with tones, although for this season we have a special fondness for 103 and 081.
Rubí Hechizo : in case its name doesn't sound "Halloween-y" enough, we challenge you to try not to fall head over heels for that irresistible sparkle that characterizes it. Ideal for giving your Halloween look a chic touch.

So, what Halloween costume ideas can you create with them?

Below, we share some ideas for you to create an original and 100% personalized costume.

Enchanted Witch Costume

The witch costume is a Halloween classic. With our yarns, you can give the first of these Halloween costume ideas a fresh and unique touch.

What will you need? Our Rubí Clásica in shades 103, 081 and 585, a fantasy yarn that provides a spectacular and mysterious effect; ideal for a witch.
How can you use it? Knit a collar with different colors of Rubí Clásica, knitting Halloween motifs like the pumpkins in the photo, and complete the look with dark makeup, a witch hat, and an old broom.

Terrifying Scarecrow

This costume is perfect if you are looking for something simple.

What will you need? Rubí Clásica in brown, orange, and green tones, and old clothes (a plaid shirt and jeans).
How can you use it? Use this yarn to add fringes to the cuffs of the shirt and the bottom of the pants, simulating the straw that usually comes out of a scarecrow's clothes. Complete the look with a straw hat; the more worn, the better.

Mysterious Black Cat

The third of these Halloween costume ideas is classic yet effective.

What will you need? Rubí Clásica in shade 585.
How can you use it? Knit cat ears with this yarn and attach them to a headband you have at home. If you want, you can use the same yarn to knit a simple tail and sew it to the back of your pants or skirt.

Elegant Vampiress

This vampiress costume is ideal if you prefer a dark and glamorous look for Halloween. In addition, Rubí Hechizo will give it that distinctive touch with its characteristic sparkle.

What will you need? Rubí Hechizo in shades 008 and 010.
How can you use it? Create a raised collar with border details. You can also opt for a long and voluminous scarf to add a touch of drama to the look. Complete the look with a high-neck shirt, black gloves, and, if you want to add even more style, an elegant cane.

Terrifying Pumpkin

The fifth of these Halloween costume ideas is ideal if you want to give a twist to the typical pumpkin costume.

What will you need? Rubí Clásica in shades 065 (orange), 585 (black) and 022 (green).
How can you use it? This option is a bit more elaborate, but we guarantee it's worth it. Knit a vest or poncho that represents the body of a pumpkin. Use the black yarn to add details like the face, embroidering the eyes, nose, and mouth in pointy and sinister shapes. Add green details to simulate leaves and a stem on the edge of the garment. Complete the costume with a headband or leaf hat, striking eyeshadow, and other accessories like a lantern to give the look an even more chilling touch.
