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

This free crochet ghost pattern makes a little white amigurumi ghost with a scalloped hem, rosy cheeks and a tiny orange pumpkin in its arms. The pumpkin has embroidered segment lines, a green stem and a curly tendril, and big shiny eyes with a small round mouth give this ghost plushie a sweet, surprised look. It is worked in the round in single crochet with DK yarn and a 2.5 mm hook and stands about 8 cm (3 in) tall; the shell-stitch hem, arms, cheeks and pumpkin are sewn on. Follow it row by row with stitch counts and turn the interactive 3D model to see where every piece goes, a quick Halloween make.

How to crochet the Little Ghost

Beginner-friendly · 8 cm tall · about 2 h · DK yarn · 2.5 mm hook

  1. Crochet the 8 pieces in rounds: Ghost, Hem, Pumpkin, Pumpkin stem, Arm ×2, Cheek ×2 (50 rounds in all).
  2. Stuff and put it together in 7 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.
