Ghost Body Pattern

Work continuously in spiral rounds. Use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch of every round.

R1: Work 6 sc into MR. Pull ring closed. [6]
R2: inc in each of the 6 sts (inc * 6). [12]
R3 – R5: sc in each st around (12 sc per round for 3 rounds). [12]
R6: (1 sc, inc) repeat 6 times. [18]
R7: (1 sc, 2 inc) repeat 6 times (each repeat = 1 sc, inc in next st, inc in next st). [30]
R8: sc in each of the 30 sts around. [30]

R9 (Creating Arms & Body):

R9: (2 sc, 2 inc, 1 sc, 2 inc, 2 sc, skip 6 sts) repeat 2 times total. [26]
Note: Skipping 6 stitches on each side pops the hands/arms outward and joins the front and back together.

Lower Body & Skirt:

R10: (3 sc, 2 inc, 3 sc, 2 inc, 3 sc) repeat 2 times. [34]
R11: sc in each of the 34 sts around. [34]

Finishing the Bottom Edge

Cut the off-white working yarn leaving a 4–5 inch tail.
Pull the yarn tail through the final loop.
Thread the tail onto your yarn needle and perform an invisible fasten off:
- Insert needle under both loops of the second stitch ahead from the front to the back.
- Bring needle back down through the center of the last crochet stitch made.
- Pull gently to mimic the look of a crochet stitch.
Weave the yarn tail inside along the inner wall and trim any excess.

Embroidering the Eyes

Thread a length of 3-ply black acrylic yarn onto the needle.
Insert needle from inside the hollow base up through the head between R4 and R5.
Sew vertical satin stitches across 2 rounds (vertically between Rounds 4 and 6), stitching through the same spot 4–5 times until a thick, neat oval eye forms.
Repeat for the second eye, leaving approximately 2 stitches of space between them.
Bring both black yarn ends to the inside of the ghost, tie them securely in a knot, and trim the excess tails.
