The Pocket Ghost is a quick, fast, and no-sew amigurumi pattern that includes 2 sizes and a bow accessory! These mini ghosties make adorable little keychains, hanging ornaments, or bag charms.
Since the small ghost takes 10 minutes for an experienced crocheter to make, they’re considered a very fast crochet project, making them perfect for last-minute gifts. You can also make them as crochet party favors for a Halloween party. They can be decor as hanging ornaments or strung together into a garland. They’d also make great market prep items for craft fairs during the Fall/Autumn season.
While this doll is designed using bulky weight chenille velvet yarn for a plush look, it can also be crocheted in thinner yarns to create a tiny ghost.
The PDF pattern includes photo references and a link to the Small Ghost’s video tutorial to guide you through the crochet process.
