Crochet Ghost from Plush Yarn – Free Pattern
I’d be happy to provide you with a simple description of how to crochet a ghost from plush yarn using a free pattern. Please note that I can’t display the actual pattern here, but I can guide you through the general steps to create a cute crochet ghost.
Materials Needed:
- Plush yarn in white (or any desired ghost color)
- Crochet hook suitable for your yarn (usually a size smaller than what’s recommended on the yarn label)
- Safety eyes or embroidery floss for the eyes
- Fiberfill stuffing
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
Pattern Steps:
- Start with Magic Ring: Create a magic ring by making a small loop with your yarn. Insert your hook through the loop, yarn over, and pull up a loop. Chain 1 to secure the loop.
- Body: Work in continuous rounds unless otherwise specified. Single crochet (sc) 6 stitches into the magic ring. Pull the tail to tighten the ring.
- Increase Rounds: In the next round, work 2 sc in each stitch around (12 stitches). Continue increasing in each round until the ghost body reaches the desired size. This will give the ghost its rounded shape.
- Straight Rounds: Work several rounds of single crochet without increasing to form the body of the ghost. Adjust the number of rounds based on the size you want.
- Decrease Rounds: Begin decreasing by working 2 sc together (sc2tog) in the first stitch, then 1 sc in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern around the entire round. Continue decreasing in each round until the ghost opening is small enough to close.
- Stuffing: Before closing the ghost, stuff it firmly with fiberfill to give it a plump shape.
- Closing: Finish closing the top of the ghost by decreasing until the opening is completely shut. Fasten off the yarn and weave in the end.
- Eyes: Attach safety eyes or use embroidery floss to sew on the eyes. You can also embroider the eyes if you prefer.
- Optional: Mouth and Embellishments: You can create a small mouth or add other embellishments using yarn or felt, depending on the style you want.
- Finishing: Weave in any remaining yarn tails and trim excess.
