Crochet Treat Ghost Amigurumi With Pumpkin Basket

This tutorial teaches you how to crochet a small, cute ghost holding a pumpkin basket. You start by making the white ghost body from the top down using continuous rounds of single crochets. After shaping the body with increases and decreases, you work into the front loops to crochet a wavy shell pattern skirt. Next, you fill the body with stuffing and close the bottom using a yarn needle. Finally, you crochet two small arms and an orange pumpkin basket, assemble the parts using glue or sewing, and attach safety eyes and felt face details.

Difficult Stitch Detail: Double Crochet Shell Stitch (Puntos Altos en Abanico)

The most complex technique in this project is the shell border made along the front loops of the body.

How to make the Shell Stitch:

1. Skip a loop: Skip one loop next to your starting loop.

2. Work 4 Double Crochets: In the next loop, work four double crochets into the exact same space. (To make a double crochet: yarn over, insert hook into the loop, yarn over and pull through, yarn over and pull through two loops, yarn over and pull through the final two loops).

3. Anchor with a Slip Stitch: Skip the next loop, then make one slip stitch into the following loop to secure the wavy shell edge. Repeat this sequence around the body.
