Free Crochet Pattern for Tiny Ghost

Stitch Abbreviations

st = stitch
sl st = slip stitch
ch = chain
SC = single crochet
DC = double crochet
SC2tog = single crochet 2 stitches together (invisible decrease is recommended)

Special Stitches

SC2tog (using invisible decrease method): Insert hook into front loop of the first stitch. Insert hook into front loop of second stitch. Yarn over. Draw through the first two loops on hook. Yarn over. Draw through both loops on hook.

Notes

• Checking your gauge is not required for this pattern. Use a hook that is smaller than the size recommended for your yarn weight. This will ensure that your stuffing will not show through the stitches.
• All pieces are worked in the round. Use a stitch marker to indicate the beginning of each round.
• Invisible decreases are recommended. Please see “Special Stitches”.
• Safety eyes and noses pose a choking risk for babies; therefore, if making this toy for a baby, I recommend using yarn, felt, or embroidered details.
• All pieces require full stuffing. Stuff as you work to ensure each piece is completely filled.  
• See tutorial photos.

Tips & Tricks

• Use stitch markers to keep track of the beginning of each of your continuous rounds.

• Make a ghost keychain by attaching a keyring to the top of the ghost amigurumi.
