Boo! This little ghost is a quick and fun knit. The ghost is worked from top to bottom using a long 3 mm circular needle. The entire project is knitted using the magic loop technique (I recommend learning the technique on YouTube if you’re unfamiliar with it). Stitches are picked up for the arms.

The toy can be knitted with many different types of yarn – feel free to use whatever scraps you have! Gauge may vary between yarn qualities. “Blow” yarns often have a different row gauge compared to, for example, merino wool. If you choose to use a yarn like Double Sunday, I recommend knitting a few fewer rounds on the body. For best results, choose a yarn or yarn combination that gives a gauge of 18–22 stitches per 10 cm.

Yarn suggestion
