A4 PDF: materials, every round with a tick box, assembly and face

Free crochet ghost pattern: a Leggy Ghost amigurumi, about 11 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. It is a white ghost with a scalloped hem, rosy cheeks, a little round mouth and very long legs in black and white striped tights and red shoes, sitting with its legs stretched out in front. You need about 75 m: 55 m white, 10 m black, 5 m red and 5 m pink. Plan on roughly 3 hours. A spooky-cute desk buddy or a Halloween gift for anyone who loves ghosts with a sense of humour. Spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern for the body, the striped legs and the scalloped hem.

How to crochet the Leggy Ghost

Intermediate · 11 cm tall · about 3 h · DK yarn · 2.5 mm hook

  1. Crochet the 8 pieces in rounds: Ghost, Hem, Leg ×2, Arm ×2, Cheek ×2 (78 rounds in all).
  2. Stuff and put it together in 5 steps; each one lights up where it goes on the 3D model.
  3. Add the face: safety eyes by round and stitch, or embroider them for a child under 3.

Every round with its stitch count is in the Pattern tab below, and in the free printable PDF.

1 sc ≈ 4 mm wide, 1 round ≈ 3.6 mm tall (10 cm ≈ 25 sc × 28 rounds); yarn about 1.9 mm thick. The gauge sets the size of the toy; crochet tightly so the stuffing does not show.

Worked in

Continuous spiral rounds. Don't join. Move a stitch marker up every round.

  1. Size before assembly: about 6.8 cm at the widest, 8.5 cm long; 29 rounds.
  2. → Insert the safety eyes now (positions: see “Face”) and fix the backs. Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
  3. Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.

  1. Size before assembly: about 8.5 cm at the widest (lies flat); 3 rounds.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

  1. Size before assembly: an oval about 3.2 × 2 cm at the widest, 13.7 cm long; 39 rounds. The piece is oval: the rounds go around the chain, and on the finished toy the chain (the long side of the oval) runs vertically, top to bottom; the starting chain is at the front of the piece (on the finished toy). The round-start marker is at a turn of the oval, on the piece's centre line; R1 starts there, so no shift is needed. The increases fall on the turns.
  2. With white: ch 5.
  3. Change to red (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R2).
  4. Change to white (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R6).
  5. Change to black (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R11).
  6. Change to white (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R13).
  7. Change to black (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R15).
  8. Change to white (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R17).
  9. Change to black (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R19).
  10. Change to white (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R21).
  11. Change to black (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R23).
  12. Change to white (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R25).
  13. Change to black (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R27).
  14. Change to white (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R29).
  15. Change to black (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R31).
  16. Change to white (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R33).
  17. Change to black (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R35).
  18. Change to white (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R37).
  19. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

  1. Size before assembly: about 1.2 cm at the widest, 1.7 cm long; 5 rounds.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

  1. A flat circle about 1.5 cm across; 2 rounds.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

Safety eyes and noses go in before the piece is stuffed and closed (see the pieces above); embroidery is easier before the piece is sewn on.

  • Safety eyes with a printed glint 13 mm (on the ghost): in round 22, 5 st apart (count along round 22: about 2.4 st each side of the centre front line).
  • Satin stitch (on the ghost): in dark brown thread, a oval about 5.5 mm wide and 6 mm tall, horizontal stitches; centred between rounds 19 and 20, on the centre front line .
