Step by step Pattern

Ghost Body:

1. Magic Ring: Wrap the yarn around your fingers to create a ring, insert hook, pull through and twist 180°, yarn over and pull through to secure the ring. Adjust the loop on your hook so it's not too tight or loose.
2. Round 1: Place 6 single crochet (sc) stitches into the magic ring. Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of the round.
3. Round 2: Increase by placing two sc in each stitch around (12 stitches total).
4. Round 3: [One sc, increase] repeat around (18 stitches total).
5. Round 4 to Round 9: Place one sc in each stitch around to create the height of the ghost.
6. Round 10: Scallop Round: 3 sc in next stitch, slip stitch in the next stitch, repeat from * to * around.

Eyes:

1. Mark the position of the safety eyes between Round 5 and 6, about five stitches apart.
2. Use the darning needle to make holes if your stitches are too tight, and place the safety eyes.

Blush:

1. With pink yarn, sew a blush spot right underneath where each eye will be.

Ghost Hands:

1. Start with a Slip Knot: Chain 2.
2. Row 1: Single crochet in the second chain from hook, fasten off leaving a tail.
3. Sew the hands to the ghost, two rows above the scallops and two stitches away from the eyes.

Ghost Hat:

2. Round 1: Join to the first stitch.
3. Round 2: Place one sc in each stitch around.
4. Round 3: Alternate one sc with an increase all around.
5. Round 4: One sc in each stitch around, forming a cone shape.
6. Round 5 (Brim): Increase in every stitch around.
7. Slip Stitch: To join and finish the round, cut the yarn and pull through tight.
