Create a wild ghost party with this fun crochet pattern by Oksana Kameneva! These cute boo amigurumi are ready to do some mischievous Halloween pranks. They will make quirky seasonal decorations that you can scatter around your house for a spooky touch. The pattern is easy and quick to complete, so crocheting a whole ghost family certainly won’t take long!
Who Can Make This Crochet Ghost Pattern?
This project is a great entry point to the amigurumi world and will suit crochet beginners. The ghost features a simple construction and is worked using fundamental stitches like chains, single crochets, double crochets, and a magic ring.
All pieces are made separately and then joined together, so prepare for some sewing. If you want to make this project even more accessible, you can skip the arms and crochet just the head and body part.
Gather Your Crochet Essentials
To create this adorable ghost amigurumi, you’ll need sport-weight yarn and a 1.5 mm crochet hook. The designer suggests using YarnArt Jeans, a semi-cotton yarn that is great for making soft and durable toys.
Before getting down to this project, prepare also a little bit of stuffing (yarn scraps will work too). For the face, Oksana used embroidery thread in black and pink and safety eyes in different sizes to add playful character to the design.
Quick Crochet Instructions
The body part of this crochet ghost is worked in two pieces. You will start from the tip of the head and continue working the body in rounds until it reaches the required height. Next, you will crochet the bottom and sew it to the body.
Before doing that, make sure to add safety eyes and stuff the body. Once the lower body part is done, you will work a ruffled bottom edge with a combination of single crochet, double crochet, and treble crochet. The last step requires crocheting two arms and embroidering the mouth.
