Pattern:
Begin with a magic ring.
Round 1:
Into the ring, place 6 SC. Tighten and secure your centre ring.
(6 SC stitches)
Round 2:
Place 2 SC into each stitch around.
(12 SC stitches)
Round 3:
Into the first stitch, *place 1 SC followed by 2 SC in the next stitch.* Repeat from * to * 5 more times.
(18 SC stitches)
Rounds 4-11:
Into the first stitch and each stitch around, place 1 SC.
(18 SC stitches)
Edging:
For this section, you will be working into two stitches at the same time (the front and back of the project). “Stitch” will refer to working into two stitches at once.
Flatten the ghost so that the working yarn is on the right and place 1 DC directly into the first stitch (photo A) followed by 1 SS into the next stitch. *Place 1 DC into the next stitch and one SS in the following stitch.* Repeat from * to * 2 more times. Place 1 DC into the last stitch (photo B). Fasten off and weave in ends.
(5 DC stitches, 4 SS = 9 stitches)
Eyes:
Cut 2 circles or ovals sized to fit your ghost. Attach in the appropriate spots with a dab of fabric glue.
To Hang:
Cut a piece of yarn to desired length and attach to the top of your ghost to turn into a hanging ornament. If you are making a bunting, you might also choose to stitch the ghost directly to your project.
