How to Crochet Miniature Baby Ghost like a Droplet
This project is a quick and adorable amigurumi ghost, perfect for Halloween! It’s crocheted in a simple, continuous piece starting from the rounded head and tapering down to a curved, pointy little tail.
Because it only requires basic stitches, increases, and decreases, it works up very fast and makes a great base for customizing with fun expressions.

Base Ghost Pattern

Round 2: inc in every stitch around (12)
Round 3: (1 sc, inc) repeat 6 times (18)

Tip: If you are embroidering a mouth, do it now around Round 8 before the opening gets too small.
Round 12 – 13: 1 sc in each stitch around (12)

Round 15: 1 sc in each stitch around (6)
Stuff the remaining tail section. You can use a stick or tweezers to push the stuffing down.
Round 16: dec 3 times (3)
Finishing: Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Weave the yarn tail through the remaining front loops and pull tight to close the hole. To give the ghost a cute bent tail, thread the yarn needle back through the tail a few rows up, pull slightly to curve the tip to one side, and knot it securely to hold the shape. Weave in the end. Insert your safety eyes (the creator glues the stems in if adding them late) and add blush to the cheeks if desired.
