How Difficult Is This Amigurumi Ghost Pattern?
Crafted using basic stitches, this crochet ghost pattern is perfect for those familiar with fundamental amigurumi techniques.
The toy is worked in joined and continuous rounds using mostly single crochets and increases. First, you will make the head, then the body, and the arms. Once all pieces are done, you will sew them together and add felt face details to bring your ghost to life.
Can I Use Colored Yarn Instead of White?
A white color for a ghost toy seems like an obvious choice. However, if you would like to give your toy an unexpected twist, nobody will stop you! You can use some intense shades like red, green, or blue, or stick to more traditional options like cream, grey, or black.
What Size Hook Should I Use?
To make this charming ghostly amigurumi, you will need a 2.5 mm crochet hook. The designer paired it with a 100% cotton yarn of 1 mm wide, which corresponds to Light / DK weight. If you want, you can use a larger hook, but this will likely change the size of your toy.
Is Stuffing Necessary for This Crochet Ghost?
To complete your little ghost, you’ll need some stuffing. Polyfiber is the best option for amigurumi because it gives your toy that nice squishy feel. If you don’t have polyfil in your stash, yarn scraps, old T-shirts, pillow filling, or stockings are great alternatives.
