Ghost Procession
A ghost Halloween sweater, knitted, not printed: rows of sheeted ghosts with hollow eyes, bone-white tombstones carved with a cross and small blood-red crosses between the bands, all the way round the body and down both sleeves. KNITFERATU is knitted across the upper back.

Knitted, not printed
The motif is jacquard: bone-white and coloured yarns carried through the black wool blend row by row on an industrial flat-bed machine. There is no ink, no transfer and no embroidery on top. Pattern and garment are the same object, so nothing can crack or peel.
Fabric and fit
Heavyweight knit in 50% wool and 50% acrylic: warm and substantial like pure wool, harder-wearing and easier to live with. A finished sweater weighs 450 to 650 g depending on size. Relaxed unisex fit, true to size, S to 2XL. Between sizes, take the bigger one.
Made to order
Your piece is knitted after you order it: the chart goes on the machine, the yarn is mounted, then it is linked, hand-finished and steamed. Two to three weeks, plus shipping. No dead stock, no warehouse.
Shipping and returns
Free tracked shipping worldwide. EU 2 to 5 working days after dispatch, UK, US and the rest of the world 5 to 10. Fourteen days to change your mind, and the size exchange is free.
No smiles, no blush, no waving arms: these ghosts wear the long funeral sheet and stand still, two dark hollows for eyes, in a slow procession across the chest. Between their rows stand bone-white tombstones carved with a cross, and small blood-red crosses mark the way, banded across black wool blend.
The bands run all the way round: front, back and both sleeves carry the same pattern, and every motif on the body is whole, none of them cut in half at the side seams. Across the upper back, between the collar and the first band, KNITFERATU is knitted into the fabric in blackletter.
Relaxed unisex crew-neck with ribbed collar, cuffs and hem, S to 2XL. The colours are carried through the knit row by row, so the motif is the fabric: there is nothing to crack, peel or fade, and nothing to put away on the first of November.
For Halloween: in the EU, order by Friday 23 October, because Halloween orders within the EU are knitted and delivered in one week. UK, US and the rest of the world: order by Thursday 8 October for the best chance of wearing it on the 31st; there the piece is knitted to order in our Italian atelier with a two to three week lead time and transit times vary, so outside the EU we cannot promise it for the night. Free tracked shipping worldwide. Wool cycle at 30 degrees inside out, dry flat.
The photos on this page are AI renders made from the knitting file, so the pattern you see is the one the machine knits.
Is the motif printed or knitted?
Knitted. It is jacquard: the bone-white and blood-red yarns are carried through the black wool blend row by row on an industrial flat-bed machine, so the motif is the fabric. There is no ink, no transfer and no embroidery, and therefore nothing that can crack or peel.
Will it arrive before Halloween?
In the EU, yes if you order by Friday 23 October: Halloween orders within the EU are knitted and delivered in one week. UK, US and the rest of the world: order by Thursday 8 October for the best chance; there the piece is knitted after you order it, in two to three weeks, and transit times vary, so outside the EU we cannot promise delivery by the 31st. After those dates it is knitted and shipped exactly the same way.
Is the KNITFERATU lettering on the back knitted too?
Yes. It is part of the same jacquard, knitted across the upper back in the bone-white yarn. It is not a patch and not a print.
Which size should I take?
Relaxed unisex fit, true to size, S to 2XL. Flat garment measurements in centimetres are on the size guide. Between two sizes take the bigger one, and if you still call it wrong the size exchange is free.
