Overview
This officially licensed Disney Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas crochet kit pairs an 88-page, photo-driven pattern book by Ilaria Caliri with a curated supply bundle to make Jack Skellington and Sally. The paperback guides you through 12 character and accessory patterns from the film (Jack with Santa beard, the Mayor, Lock, Shock & Barrel, Oogie Boogie, Zero, Doctor Finklestein, Sandy Claws and more), while included materials—yarn, felt, pipe cleaners, stuffing, hook, needle and embroidery thread—cover the two lead figures.
