Crochet Ghost Amigurumi

I’m a little blown away over the love I have received for the crochet ghost amigurumi! I don’t crochet many stuffed animals or dolls so this was a nice surprise that so many people loved it! Should I keep making more? 🙂

This particular ghost is very easy to make. I love that I decided to use blanket yarn so that It would work up large and squishy! You can use any blanket yarn you have available to you. I recommend using one that is a Super Bulky (6) weight. 

It’s also super fun to customize your ghost. I’ll show you how I made my ghost face but you can always change it up too! Make a different mouth shape, have the eyes open or closed…so many options to make it unique!

I wanted even a very beginner to be able to make this pattern so I made a full video tutorial! You can find it on my YouTube Channel here, or just scroll down!
