These little ghosts are a lot of Halloween fun! Customize them with all kinds of accessories, like a Witch Hat, Top Hat, Bows, and more! Plus, they are very small and quick to make, and don’t use much yarn – a perfect stashbuster project! They would be excellent as small Halloween gifts or even favors / prizes in a Halloween Scavenger Hunt! Kids will love them as toys, and adults will love them as adorable spooky decor. The possibilities are endless!

Wee Little Ghostie

Amigurumi is one of my all-time favorite kinds of crochet, so naturally I wanted to make some cute Halloween ones this year! (Have you met my Amigurumi Pumpkin Spice Latte yet?) Ghosts are an easy and immediately recognizable symbol to design, so I started playing around with the design. Before I knew it, I was making a whole bunch of these little critters! They are so fast and addictive to make! You can customize them just about any way you can imagine, and included here are just a few ways you can dress them up to be even cuter.

This pattern uses only handfuls of yarn, so it’s a great way to get rid of small leftovers in your stash! But if you happen to be running out of some good White yarn, I’d recommend using Red Heart Super Saver in White. Just one skein will produce dozens of Ghosties! Find some on Amazon HERE!
