Cute Crochet Ghost Amigurumi Pattern For Bag Charm
Opting for a self-worked version is better for us because it results in a tough, washable, and high-quality keepsake that feels far more special than a plastic factory item. By using fluffy filler and simple yarn, this project turns basic materials into a plush treasure that stays plump and soft forever.
Materials Required
-
Yarn: Soft white yarn (cotton or acrylic works well).
-
Crochet Hook: 2.5 mm.
-
Eyes: Two safety eyes or decorative flat-back eyes.
-
Stuffing: Fiberfill or any soft stuffing material.
-
Tools: Stitch marker, scissors, hot glue gun (if using glue-on eyes), and a tapestry needle.
-
Extra Flair: Pink blush powder or eyeshadow for the cheeks.
Special Features
-
Seamless Arms: Unlike many amigurumi where arms are sewn on later, these hands are crocheted directly into the body, making them very secure.
-
Textured Base: The "double crochet ruffle" gives the ghost a classic, flowing sheet appearance.
Level of Difficulty
-
Beginner: Most of the ghost uses basic sc. The only slightly advanced part is Row 11, where you must navigate the hook around the arms.
Tutor's Suggestions
-
Stitch Markers: The tutor emphasizes marking the first stitch of every row, as white yarn can make it hard to see the start/end points.
-
Root of the Hand: When working Row 11, ensure you pull the yarn through the very "root" (base) of the arm to keep it stable.
Uses
-
Halloween Decor: Perfect for mantels or tiered trays.
-
Keychains: Its small size makes it an ideal bag charm.
-
Gifts: A non-scary, cute gift for children.
Conclusion
This crochet ghost is a fast and rewarding project that uses clever techniques to avoid unnecessary sewing. Its plump shape and blushing cheeks make it an endearing addition to any Halloween collection, proving that handmade decorations can be both simple and high-quality.
Pro-Tip
If you are making this as a keychain, sew a small loop of yarn or a metal jump ring through the very top of the head before you finish stuffing it; this provides the strongest anchor for the keychain hardware!
The story starts with a circular base, where a few initial stitches expand into a smooth, dome-shaped head.
As the torso develops, the pattern uses a clever mix of chains and double stitches to form two small arms reaching out from the sides.
One interesting feature is the ruffled skirt at the bottom, which uses alternating heights of stitches to give the illusion of movement.
To keep the shape sturdy, a flat bottom panel is worked and tucked inside before the final closure.
Once the main shape is ready, attaching dark eyes and a hint of pink color to the face results in a professional-looking accessory that captures a happy spirit.
This method is fast and accessible, making it easy to finish a whole group of these friendly spirits in a single sitting.
