As you all know my youngest daughter loves Halloween. It is her favorite holiday. Her birthday falls very close to Halloween so I decided to make this Crochet Halloween Ghost Stuffy for her as a little something extra. I think that it turned out super cute It is made with a small amount of #4 worsted weight yarn, fiber fill, and safety eyes. This Crochet Halloween Ghost Stuffy would make a really cute baby gift as well.

Here is everything you need to know in order to make this Crochet Halloween Ghost Stuffy!

Abbreviations:  MC (magic circle), CH (chain), SC (single crochet), HDC (half double crochet), DC (double crochet), TRC (triple crochet), BLO (back loops only), SC2TOG (single crochet 2 stitches together), SLST (slip stitch)

Difficulty:  Easy, beginner friendly

Here is what you will need:

Yarn:  Any #4 worsted weight yarn will work.  I used Red Heart Super Saver in the color white because I had a skien of it laying around and also a very small amount of black. You can purchase these items in the highlighted links.

9mm Safety eyes. You can purchase a multi pack of various sizes through the highlighted link.

Now, let’s get started on this Crochet Halloween Ghost Stuffy.

Round 1:  Create a Magic Circle, Place 6 SC (single crochet) inside the MC.  Pull the tail tight to close up the MC and SLST (slip stitch) to the top of the very first SC.  At the end of round 1 you should have a total of 6 stitches.  

Round 2:  CH (chain) 1, Place 2 SC in the CH 1 space and place 2 SC in each stitch all the way around.  SLST to the top of the first SC.  At the end of round 2 you should have 12 stitches.

Round 3:  CH 1, SC in the CH 1 space, now place 2 SC in the next stitch.  Repeat *1 SC in the next stitch and 2 SC in the next* all the way around.  SLST to the top of the first SC.  At the end of round 3 you should have 18 stitches.

Round 4:  CH 1, SC in the CH 1 space and in the next stitch.  Now, place 2 SC in the next stitch.  Repeat * 1 SC in the next 2 stitches, 2 SC in the next stitch*.  SLST to the top of the first SC.  At the end of round 4 you should have 24 stitches.

Round 5:  CH 1, SC in the CH 1 space and in the next 2 stitches.  Now, place 2 SC in the next stitch.  Repeat * 1 SC in the next 3 stitches, 2 SC in the next stitch*.  SLST to the top of the first SC.  At the end of round 5 you should have 30 stitches.

Round 6:  CH 1, SC in the CH 1 space and in the next 3 stitches.  Now place 2 SC in the next stitch.  Repeat * 1 SC in the next 4 stitches, 2 SC in the next stitch*  SLST to the top of the first SC.  At the end of round 6 you should have 36 stitches.

Rounds 7-17:  CH 1, SC in the CH 1 space and in each stitch all the way around.  SLST to the top of the first SC. At the end of each round you should still have 36 SC.  

For the Crochet Halloween Ghost Stuffy Face:

Place your safety eyes between rounds 10 and 11 in the front of the crochet halloween ghost.  Make sure your safety eyes are placed 5 stitches apart and the backs are snapped on nice and tight.  That way if this is a gift for a small child it will not be a choking hazard.  

With your small amount of black yarn threaded onto your yarn needle, create your mouth.  I like to go down 1 row and 1 stitch over from the first eye and create a line going down 1 row at an angle.  I then go 1 row down and 1 stitch over from the second eye at an angle and create my second line.  This will create the mouth.  You can always reference the picture if you aren’t sure what I am talking about.  Make sure you tie in a knot and weave in your yarn tails for the mouth.  At this point I also like to weave in the yarn tail from the magic circle.

Back to the Crochet Halloween Ghost Stuffy Body:  

Round 18:  CH 1, In the BLO (back loop only), SC in the CH 1 space and in each stitch all the way around.  SLST to the top of the first SC.  At the end of round 18 you will still have 36 stitches.  

Round 19:  CH 1, still working in the BLO, SC in the CH 1 space and in the next stitch, now SC2TOG (single crochet 2 stitches together.  Repeat * 1 SC in the next 2 stitches, SC2TOG*  SLST to the top of the first SC.  At the end of round 19 you should have 30 SC.

Round 20:  CH 1, SC in the CH 1 space and in the next 2 stitches, SC2TOG.  Repeat * 1 SC in the next 3 stitches, SC2TOG* SLST to the top of the first SC.  At the end of round 20 you should have a total of 24 stitches.  

Round 21:  CH 1, SC in the CH 1 Space and in the next 3 stitches, SC2TOG.  Repeat * 1 SC in the next 4 stitches, SC2TOG*  SLST to the top of the first SC.  AT the end of round 21 you should have 18 SC.

Note:  At this point I like to start stuffing the body of my Crochet Halloween Ghost.  Make sure to stuff it pretty full but try to not over stuff.  You still want it to sit flat when on a table or desk.  

Round 22:  CH 1, SC in the CH 1 Space, SC2TOG.  Repeat *SC in 1 stitch, SC2TOG* all the way around.  SLST to the top of the first SC.  At the end of round 22 you should have 12 stitches.

Round 23:  CH 1, SC2TOG all the way around.  SLST to the top of the first SC. At the end of round 23 you should have 6 stitches.  Fasten off and leave a yarn tail long enough for you to close up the small hole on the bottom.  I like to do this by weaving my needle through each stitch around and pulling tight.  I then like to create a “X” by stitching across and lastly tying a knot.  You can then poke the needle through the bottom part of the ghost and out the top and pull the yarn through.  Once you clip the yarn you will no longer have a visible yarn tail.

For the Crochet Halloween Ghost Stuffy Ruffle:

Attach your white yarn to the “front loops” of round 18.  Repeat *SC, HDC (half double crochet), DC (double crochet), TRC (triple crochet), DC, HDC, SC*  all the way around.  SLST to the top of the first SC where you attached your yarn.  You will have a total of 36 stitches.  Fasten off your work and weave in your yarn tails.
