Little Ghost with Pumpkin and Witch Hat Crochet Pattern
Today I bring you this little ghost. It's easy and quick to make, and needs very few materials. This design is made using Sinfonía yarn and a bit of Abuelita yarn. I used a number 2 hook, and the finished doll is 7 cm tall. You’ll need small safety eyes, a tapestry needle, synthetic stuffing, and only small amounts of each color. The ghost can be turned into a keychain by adding a hoop at the top.
Pattern Highlights
Versatile & Customizable
- Finished size of approx. 7 cm makes it ideal as a keychain, charm, or desk decoration.
- Easily customizable – try different color combinations for hat and pumpkin.
All-Inclusive Seasonal Figure
- Combines a classic ghost shape with a playful witch hat and a mini pumpkin, all in one project.
Textured Detail
- Relief rounds and shell-like decorative edge for extra cuteness.
- Hat made in two colors with accent border.
Minimal Materials Needed
- Small quantities of common acrylic or cotton yarn.
Perfect for Gifting
- A thoughtful, whimsical Halloween or fall gift that can be completed quickly.
Notes
- Safety eyes of approximately 2 mm are recommended, but you can substitute small black beads or embroidery.
- Synthetic stuffing is ideal for neat shape retention.
- Use up scrap yarn for the hat, pumpkin, and facial detailing.
- Placement of safety eyes is between Rounds 9 and 10.
- You may add a loop at the top to make it a keychain; this step is optional.
- The pumpkin’s face is embroidered for extra character.
- The hat is constructed with two shades of purple, joined with surface slip stitch around the relief round.
- Gauge is not critical as long as the stitches are dense enough to prevent stuffing from escaping.
