Little Ghost Crochet Pattern

---

Make your very own little ghost with this sweet and simple crochet pattern. I love all things Halloween even though it’s not really celebrated here and despite my love of horror movies, I definitely lean more towards spooky cute when it comes to my creations.

This little ghost is worked all in one piece from the top down and the only sewing required is for attaching his little pumpkin hat.

NOTES

The pattern is written using US terminology and measures approximately 2.5″ x 2″ (6.5cm x 5cm) when using the materials listed.

Pieces are worked in a continuous spiral starting with a magic ring unless otherwise specified. Mark the first stitch of each round with a removable stitch marker.

Gauge is not important in this pattern. Use a hook size to match your chosen yarn. Make sure that your stitches are tight enough to prevent stuffing showing through and adjust hook size if necessary.
