Assembly
Sew the eyes onto the ghost body, starting around Round 7 from the bottom.
Sew the nose centered between the eyes.
Sew the cheeks just below and to the outside of the eyes.
Using black embroidery thread or yarn separated into strands, embroider a smiling mouth, eyelashes at the outer corners of the eyes, and small angled eyebrows above the eyes.
Cut a circle of cardboard slightly smaller than the crocheted base.
Begin sewing the crocheted base to the unworked back loops of Round 34 on the body.
When halfway sewn, firmly stuff the ghost.
Insert the cardboard circle so it sits flat against the bottom base piece.
Finish stuffing, ensuring it is firm, and then sew the rest of the base closed. Secure the tail and hide the ends inside the body.
Place the witch hat on the ghost’s head!
