This is such an awesome Halloween wreath pattern! I love that it is not just pumpkins, which is what I have mainly seen when looking for Halloween patterns. This would look great on anyones front door. I am thinking I could make this for my brother in law he loves Halloween!

Very cute. In the picture I noticed the witches look like there are legs or something behind them. I didn't see the directions for those. Can someone tell me what those are and how to make them?
