Amigurumi Ice Cream Ghost
If you’re familiar with my other Halloween patterns, like my Wee Ghosties, Pastel Ghosties, and Hearty Bats, you know that I love designing spooky cute critters with some kind of twist (like a food theme, a specific shape, etc.). Considering how successful my Ice Cream Octopi are at craft fairs, I decided to apply the same logic to making a little ice cream ghost. And I’m really happy with the results! Desserts, fall, and Halloween are motifs that just go together so well!
