Crochet a friendly little ghost about 5¾ in tall. It is worked in one piece, in a continuous spiral of single crochet from the top of the head down through a little waist to a scalloped hem, with two stubby arms and a felt face. A flat circle sewn in behind the hem lets it stand on a shelf. Make one, or a family in three sizes of yarn.

What you need
No laser, router or cutting machine needed.
Materials and supplies
- Worsted (#4) white yarn, about 85 yd
- 4 mm (G/6) crochet hook, or one size smaller than your yarn label suggests
- A 4 × 4 in scrap of black felt and fabric glue or black thread for the face (or 9 mm safety eyes)
- Polyester fiberfill, a stitch marker, a yarn needle, scissors and a few pins
Skill level
Beginner. Single crochet, increase and decrease in a spiral, plus one round of double crochet for the scalloped hem. If you can make a magic ring and a sphere, you can make this.
Finished size
- About 5¾ in tall and 4⅛ in across the hem, in worsted (#4) yarn with a 4 mm hook
- DK (#3) yarn and a 3.5 mm hook make a 4½ in ghost; bulky (#5) and a 5.5 mm hook about 7 in. The rounds are the same.
Pattern notes
- Written in US crochet terms
- Gauge is not critical, but work tightly so the stuffing does not show
- The face is felt, so the ghost is safe for little ones; the booklet says where safety eyes go if you prefer them
- Want it to light up? The glowing version of this ghost, with an LED guide, is also in the shop.
Printing
- Sized for US Letter paper (8.5 × 11 in). The whole pattern is on one page, so you can print just that page or keep it open on your phone.

Questions
Is anything shipped?
No. You buy a PDF booklet (and for machine projects, the cut files). Nothing is posted to you. The download links appear the moment you pay and are emailed to you as well.
Are the pictures photographs of a finished project?
No. They are rendered previews made from the same design as the plans. Your finished project will vary with your materials, paint and yarn.
Can I print it at home?
Yes. Every booklet is sized for US Letter paper. Print templates at 100% (actual size) and check the 4 in scale bar on the page before you cut.
I lost my download. Can I get it again?
Yes. Your links never expire. Use My library to get a sign-in link by email, or reply to your order email.
What if the file is wrong or will not open?
Email me and I will fix it or refund you. Because these are downloads there are no returns otherwise.
