Welcome to Inspire & Create! 🧶
Hello again, spooky-season maker! We’re so happy to have you back for another fun project. Today’s creation is wonderfully simple and perfect for Halloween — a cute little ghost with a friendly smile. Let’s get hooking!
How to Crochet an Amigurumi Ghost: Step-by-Step Pattern
What You’ll Need
Materials
- White or off-white yarn (body)
- Black yarn (eyes, mouth — or use felt/safety eyes)
- 3.5mm crochet hook
- Polyester fiberfill stuffing
- Yarn needle
- Black embroidery thread (face details)
Skill level: Beginner-friendly (great first amigurumi project!)
Finished size: Approximately 4-5 inches tall
Step 1: Crochet the Body (White Yarn)
The ghost body is essentially a teardrop shape — round at the top, with a wavy bottom edge.
- Round 1: 6 sc in magic ring (6)
- Round 2: inc in each st (12)
- Round 3: sc, inc repeat (18)
- Round 4: sc 2, inc repeat (24)
- Round 5: sc 3, inc repeat (30)
- Rounds 6-16: sc around (30) — 11 rounds even (this builds the height of the ghost’s body)
- Stuff firmly as you go, leaving the last 2-3 rounds unstuffed for now
Step 2: Create the Wavy Bottom Edge
Instead of decreasing to close the bottom like most amigurumi, we’ll finish with a wavy, open hem for that classic ghost silhouette.
- Round 17: sc 4, ch 3, skip 1, sc 4 repeat around — this creates small loops/scallops along the bottom edge
- Alternatively, for a simpler wavy edge: work in rows of sc back and forth across groups of stitches at the bottom, leaving small gaps between each “leg” of the ghost (typically 3-4 wavy points around the bottom)
- Finish stuffing the body before completing this final round, then fasten off
Step 3: Add the Face (Black Yarn/Embroidery Thread)
- Using black embroidery thread, embroider two round eyes (simple circles or ovals) in satin stitch on the upper-front of the body
- Embroider a small open “O” shaped mouth below the eyes for a classic friendly ghost expression
- Optional: add small black eyebrow lines above the eyes for extra personality, or curve the mouth into a smile
Step 4: Add Arms (Optional, White Yarn, Make 2)
- Round 1: 6 sc in magic ring (6)
- Rounds 2-4: sc around (6) — 3 rounds
- Flatten and sc closed without stuffing (for soft, floppy “ghost arms”)
- Sew to sides of body, positioned as if reaching outward
Step 5: Finishing Touches
- Weave in all loose ends
- Gently shape the bottom scallops/waves with your fingers for a more dynamic, “floating” look
- Optional: add a tiny embroidered “Boo!” detail or small fabric patch for extra charm
Tips for the Perfect Amigurumi Ghost
- This pattern is incredibly versatile — try making a whole set in different sizes for a cute ghost family display
- For a glow-in-the-dark effect, use glow-in-the-dark yarn or add a small battery-powered LED tea light inside before closing the body
- Vary the facial expression (winking, surprised, smiling) across multiples for personality variety
