Rnd 3: [sc, inc] x6 (18)

Rnd 4: [2 sc, inc] x6 (24)

Rnd 5-12 (8 rnds): sc around (24)

** at the end of Rnd 12, sl st to beginning st, ch 1

** attach safety eyes between Rnds 6-7 with approx. 5 st between them

** using a small amount of your pink yarn, embroider small blush marks below each eye

** begin stuffing, stopping just before Rnd 12 so that your ghost will sit flat

Rnd 13: working in BLO, [2 sc, dec] x6 (18)

** leave the outer loops unworked, as we will be crocheting into the ridge left by Rnd 13 to make our tendrils

Rnd 14: [sc, dec] x6 (12)

Rnd 15: [dec] x6 (6)

** sl st and finish off, weaving in the ends

 

Tendrils

** attach your yarn to one of the loops left from Rnd 13 ( I like to do this in the back to hide the seam better, but it doesn't matter where you attach.)

Rnd 1: ch 1, 5 hdc in same st as ch, sl st, [5 hdc in one st, sl st in next] x11

** you should end with 12 clusters of 5 hdc, and 12 sl st

** finish off and weave in ends

 

Assembly

** attach keychain to top of ghost's head, on Rnd 1 through the MR
