Bernie the Ghost is a quick, free design! Whip up Bernie in an hour (give or take), you won’t regret this ghoulish make..

You will need:

  • 3.00mm hook/D-3 (US)
  • Aran / Worsted / 10ply yarn > less than 25g each for WHITE, ORANGE, PINK
  • BLACK 4ply yarn or embroidery thread
  • Scissors
  • Tapestry needle
  • Polyester toy stuffing
  • Stitch marker (optional)

Notes:

  • Amigurumi is usually stitched in the round and a yarn with no stretch is best.
  • When changing colour, pull through the new colour on the stitch before you need it. This will ensure that you have the correct colour yarn on the hook for the upcoming stitch.
  • Generally, the hook you use for amigurumi will be a smaller than for other crochet as you want the stitches tight.
  • Your tension, yarn thickness and hook size used will affect the size of your finished item. My Bernie is approx. 8cm tall x 7cm wide.
  • I’ve used the following yarns: o WHITE = Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran in col. 603 Light Champagne o ORANGE = Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran in col. 655 Peach Orange o PINK = Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran in col. 654 Blush Pink
