Get ready for a hauntingly cute make! The Wheat Stitch Ghost Crochet Pattern is an easy and fun Halloween project perfect for beginners and seasoned crocheters alike. This little ghost is worked in my signature wheat stitch from the top down in the round, creating a smooth, seamless body.

Two Finishing Options:

• Make a bottomless ghost to place over LED lights, fairy lights, or a jar of treats for a glowing Halloween decoration.
• Or stuff and seal it to create a soft, huggable ghost plushie for spooky season cuddles.

Bonus Accessories Included:

• A wickedly stylish witch hat worked from the top down.
• A plump mini pumpkin crocheted in rows, then stitched into shape.

Whether you’re adding to your Halloween amigurumi collection or making a one-of-a-kind handmade gift, this Wheat Stitch Ghost will bring a touch of spooky-sweet magic to your crochet hook.

A video tutorial is included with the pattern.
