Crochet Mini Pocket Ghost Amigurumi Keychain Pattern

This tutorial guides you through crocheting a small pocket ghost using thin chenille yarn. You begin at the head, crocheting down in continuous rounds and creating arms using simple chain loops. Next, you work in front loops to create a ruffled skirt edge, then switch to back loops to decrease and seal the bottom with stuffing. Afterwards, you attach safety eyes, embroider a mouth, and apply blush. Finally, you crochet a small party hat, a star wand, and a pumpkin slice charm, assembly-attaching them to finish the ghost.

Difficult Stitch Detail: Front Loop Only Ruffle (FLO Shell Stitch)

The tutorial forms a ruffled skirt around the body using Front Loop Only stitches paired with shell-like groups.

How to make the FLO Ruffle:

1. Identify the Front Loop: Look at the top “V” of the stitch. Insert your hook only under the loop closest to you.

2. Work Stitches in Front Loop: Chain 1, then work 3 half double crochets all into that single front loop.

3. Slip Stitch to Next Stitch: Slip stitch into the front loop of the next stitch to secure the shell shape. Repeat this sequence around the body.
