  • 9mm safety eyes
  • Black embroidery floss
  • Stitch marker
  • Yarn needle
  • Scissors

  • SC-single crochet
  • INC-increase
  • DEC-decrease

Fasten off and weave in end. With the black embroidery floss you can add a mouth or you can leave him as is. I have both ways and sometimes if I have pink I will add blush under the eyes. I hope this was an easy pattern to follow and you love your new little ghosty friend. I am making these smaller and A LOT to hand out to people this year. I am hoping they bring joy to someones day.
