Hello lovely crocheters! Boo! It's October and you know what that means! It's Halloween season! This season is such a fun period. I love all of the fall festivals, the weather, the cozy clothes, the scary movies and more. Today I have another cute little crochet ghost appliqué. Scroll down for the free pattern, video tutorial and pdf.
My other crochet ghost pattern inspired my nails for this week and then my nails inspired this new little ghost pattern!
My other ghost pattern can be found HERE on my blog, HERE for the video tutorial and HERE for the PDF.
This NEW pattern was made with worsted weight yarn and a size 5.00 mm crochet hook, but you can use any weight yarn with the appropriate hook size, but the size of the ghost will be different.
This ghost applique, like the last one, can be used as magnets, garland, gift embellishments, home decor, mailbox decor, gifts to be handed out, and whatever other ways you can use these little ghosts.
