Using Cream yarn, we will work in rows to create two flat ghost panels.
Row 1: Ch 5, starting in the 2nd chain from hook: 4 sc, turn. (4 sts)
Row 2: Ch 1, inc, 2 sc, inc, turn. (6 sts)
Row 3: Ch 1, inc, 4 sc, inc, turn. (8 sts)
Row 4-8: Ch 1, sc in each stitch across, turn. (8 sts)
Row 9 (Arm Row): Ch 1, sc in the first st. To make the left arm: Ch 3, sl st in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next ch. Back on the main body: sc in next 6 sts. To make the right arm: Ch 3, sl st in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next ch. Sc in the last st of the main body, turn.
Row 10-12: Ch 1, sc in each of the 8 main body sts (ignore the arms, keeping them pushed to the sides), turn. (8 sts)
Row 13 (Scalloped Bottom): Ch 1, sl st in the first st, skip 1 st, 5 hdc in the next st, skip 1 st, sl st in the next st, skip 1 st, 5 hdc in the next st, sl st in the last st. Fasten off and weave in ends.
Embellishing the Face (Front Panel Only):
Place safety eyes (or sew black beads) between Row 5 and Row 6, leaving about 3 stitches of space between them. Using pink embroidery floss, sew a tiny horizontal line for the mouth right between the eyes. Add small pink horizontal stitches just below each eye to create the rosy blushing cheeks.
Assembly and Finishing:
1. Place the front and back panels together, aligning the stitches perfectly with the wrong sides facing each other.
2. Attach cream yarn to the side of the head. Working through both layers to join them, sl st or sc evenly around the top and side edges of the ghost. Be sure to leave the bottom scallops free. Fasten off and weave in all yarn tails.
3. Use a hot glue gun to attach the pink ribbon bow securely to the top-right side of the ghost’s head.
4. Finally, apply a generous amount of hot glue to the top side of the metal snap hair clip and press it firmly onto the back panel of the ghost. Let it dry completely before use.
