These free crochet ghost patterns are a lot more varied than a post full of little white amigurumi ghosts. You’ll find flat applique designs, a mini keychain, granny square ideas and even a ghost walking its ghost dog.
If you fancy something bigger, there are Halloween pillow and blanket projects, a scarf, bag, kitchen towel and a ghost pot holder clutching a small pumpkin. There are easy, simple choices for beginners too, including a quick worry worm and a no-sew ghost with a removable witch hat.
A few patterns include step-by-step or video tutorial help, while others use C2C, intarsia or classic amigurumi crochet. Some are cute and small, some are big and squishy, and one is eating ice cream at the beach, so this collection definitely isn’t short on personality.
