For those who love cute things, this little ghost is the perfect size to hold on your palm or attach to your bag as a keychain and be your traveling companion. You can also make a small blanket and attach her to make a lovey for your little one.
SIZE/MEASUREMENTS
approx. 2.5"height x 3.25"length
MATERIALS
*Crochet hook size: 3.5mm (E)
*Worsted Weight Yarn: White (45yds)
*Stitch Markers to mark your rounds
*Fiberfill
ASSEMBLE
I recommend pinning the pieces in place before sewing them to make sure you have them in the position you like best before sewing. (Most people like to use the yarn at the end of the finished pieces to sew them in place, but I personally like to use matching thread).
TIP...For anything that I am going to be using felt, I like to first sketch it out on white paper and make a stencil of what I need. Then cut it out. Then tape the stencil to the felt and cut it out.
BODY to the BOTTOM...start by stuffing the head/body moderately firm. Be sure to attach the safety eyes in the position you like best. I place mine between rounds 8 and 9; 4 stitches apart. Place the bottom section underneath the body and sew it through the front loops of the body. Before you completely close the bottom section, add any bits of stuffing needed to finish shaping the head/body.

PATTERN NOTES - must-read...
Numbers in ( ) at the end of each round/row indicate the total number of stitches.
Always use stitch markers to mark your rounds.
There's no need to sl st and/or ch when going to the next round unless stated to do so.
Always do the 1st stitch where you slip stitch from the previous round.
The chain, in the beginning, does NOT count as one stitch unless stated otherwise.
You slip stitch on the first sc, not on top of the chain 1.
Note: If you are going to be using safety eyes, place them before closing the body. I am using round domed buttons.
