We continue to share amigurumi toy patterns for Halloween and today I want to introduce you to the cute ghost amigurumi toy. Although the toy is small in size, I can honestly say that I really liked it because it is completely handmade. I especially liked the eyes of the ghost amigurumi toy. The tiny dots in its eyes are added as a sparkle and a nice detail.
Little Ghost for Halloween Crochet Pattern
The only simple part of the toy is its mouth. However, since the toy is not big enough, there is not much you can do in this area.

Assembly
1 center r1 of base with r24 of underbody and pin in place. Sew base to underbody, threading needle between r20 and r21 of underbody (I.E. Inside the back loops leftover from r20 of underbody).
2 slide sheet onto underbody until sheet is draped evenly on underbody. Center r1 of sheet with r1 of underbody and pin in place. Sew sheet to underbody, threading needle between r17 and r18 of sheet (see below). Take care to make sure needle is passed through both sheet and underbody and that stitches are snug (but not overly tight).
3 embroider highlights on eyes. Center r1 of each eye between r9 and r10 of sheet and pin in place with a space of 2-3 stitches in between. Sew eyes to sheet.
4 center arms between r13 and r16 of sheet and pin in place on opposite sides of sheet. Sew arms to sheet.
5 embroider mouth details.
6 hide all yarn ends inside work if you have not done so already.
