How to Crochet SMILING & BLUSHING Ghost Keychain Pattern

This project is an adorable, beginner-friendly amigurumi Halloween ghost that can be used as a festive decoration or a cute keychain companion. It is crocheted in one piece from the top down using white yarn in a continuous spiral, which means there is no seam.

The pattern features two little arms created directly into the rounds using textured bobble stitches, eliminating the need to sew separate limbs. The bottom finishes with a beautiful, flowing wavy skirt that gives the ghost a floating appearance.

To bring the ghost to life, you simply add safety eyes, embroider a happy little smile, and create fluffy pink cheeks.

Decorations and Assembly

• • Eyes: Attach your safety eyes on Round 6. Space them evenly across the face, roughly 4 stitches apart, centering them beautifully between the alignment of the two arms.

  • Cheeks: Thread a needle with your pink yarn and insert it right beneath the outer corner of each eye. Stitch across one loop, tie a knot on the inside, and clip the thread. Gently use the tip of your hook or needle to fray and fluff out the pink yarn fibers so they look like soft, blushing cheeks.

  • Mouth: Use your black yarn to stitch a small, curved “V” or “U” shaped smiling mouth directly centered between the eyes.

  • Keychain Option: If you wish to turn the ghost into a charm, pull a loop of yarn through the very top magic ring, tie a sturdy knot on the inside, and attach your keychain hardware.
