Raccoon Halloween Cardigan Witch Mummy Costume

Witch and Mummy Raccoon Cardigan for the Whole Season

Halloween sneaks up every year in that stretch between pumpkin patches and porch decorating, and this raccoon cardigan gives that whole season something to wear besides a plain black hoodie. The orange knit is loaded corner to corner with little raccoon characters dressed up for the holiday, a witch stirring a bubbling cauldron, a mummy wrapped nose to tail in gauze, a caped vampire with a red lined collar, all wandering between glass lanterns, potion jars, jack o lanterns, and spiderwebs strung with tiny spiders and bats. It buttons up like a classic cardigan, so it layers easily over a tee on cooler October evenings without feeling like a costume piece meant for one night only.

This one fits the person who decorates the porch before October even starts, or the parent handing out candy while still keeping half an eye on trick or treaters darting across the yard. Halloween cardigan sweaters like this tend to get worn well past the 31st, through pumpkin carving with the kids, a neighborhood costume parade, or a stretch by the fire pit comparing everyone’s decorations. We built this one to read as a sweater first and a costume second. That’s what makes it easy to wear to a school Halloween party one day and a regular Saturday outing the next.

Cauldron, Lanterns, and Spiderwebs Across the Knit

The witch raccoon stands over her cauldron in a pointed purple hat while the mummy raccoon shuffles along nearby, and between them the print fills in with hanging lanterns, purple bottled potions, carved pumpkins, and a scattering of spiders and bats that keep the eye moving across the whole cardigan instead of settling on one spot. Buttons run the full length in a soft cream tone that plays off the orange background rather than fighting it. As one of TeeMam’s holiday knits, we lean into this kind of oddly charming character art, since Halloween shouldn’t have to mean the same skeleton or ghost print everyone else already owns.

Pair it with jeans for a daytime pumpkin patch outing or wear it over a black turtleneck for something a little dressier at an evening gathering. Either way it holds onto that handmade, storybook feeling that tends to get noticed. If the guest list for this year’s Halloween get-togethers is already coming together, this cardigan is worth putting on the list before the good sizes run out.
