The ghost amigurumi toy has an unusual design and is designed like a doll. The toy has big orange legs and a very nice hair clip. You can make this hair clip in the shape of a bow tie or a flower if you wish. I also recommend that you take notes of the details of how to make this flower and bow tie because you may be able to use it with other toys.
Groovy Ghost Amigurumi
Although the body of the toy is easy to make, it is useful to be careful when positioning the legs and hair clip of the toy. Although these pieces seem to be sewn asymmetrically, I recommend that you stick to the pattern.
