This tutorial shows how to make a small, cute crochet ghost ornament for Halloween. The ghost body is crocheted from top to bottom using continuous rounds of single crochets starting with a magic ring. Increases expand the head, followed by straight rounds for the main body. Safety eyes are placed before filling the inside with fiberfill stuffing and closing the bottom base using decreases. A decorative wavy ruffle edge is crocheted around the bottom loops to complete the ghost base. Cute embellishments like a small crocheted bow or hat can be added to customize the ghost ornament.

Difficult Stitch Detail: Invisible Decrease (dec)
The most important technique for shaping the rounded bottom of the ghost without leaving gaps or bulges is the Invisible Decrease.

How to make an Invisible Decrease:
-
Insert into Front Loop: Insert your hook under the front loop only of the next stitch.
-
Insert into Second Front Loop: Without yarning over, insert the hook under the front loop only of the following stitch.
-
Pull Loop Through: Yarn over and pull the yarn through both front loops on your hook (two loops remain on hook).
-
Complete Stitch: Yarn over once more and pull through the remaining two loops on your hook to complete the single crochet decrease cleanly.
