This no-sew pattern is written in U.S. crochet terms, complete with clear instructions and video tutorial to help you along the way. Ghost Pencil Topper is crocheted in the round/continuous spirals without joining the rounds. I suggest using a stitch marker or different color yarn to keep track of each round. Ghost Pencil Topper is crocheted in worsted weight yarn and is approximately 1.5 inches tall to the cup. Be aware that size may vary depending on the yarn and hook size used. Gauge is not particularly important, just be consistent with the tension you are using. And most importantly, have fun!
Supplies Needed:
-Worsted (4) Weight Yarn (I used Skinny Chenille by Loops and Threads)
-D (3.25mm) crochet hook
-Two 6mm plastic safety eyes
-Embroidery Floss and Needle
-Yarn Needle
-Scissors
-Locking stitch markers
