Hello,
I have a new pattern to share with you today for a Halloween Ghost:) He’s a really fast knit, I’ve knitted him in the round with the Magic Loop technique and I used double knitting wool with size 4mm circular needles.
You could also add a loop to the top of his head so that he can hang from something or make a mobile.
Here’s the pattern:
Materials:
A few grams of double knitting wool
4mm circular needles
Black fleece for eyes and mouth
Felting needle
Sewing needle
Small amount of stuffing
Stitches:
Kfb: knit into the front and back of a stitch to increase.
Pattern:
Cast on 5 stitches and join for knitting in the round
Round 1: Knit
Round 2: Kfb into each stitch, (10 stitches)
Round 3: Knit
Round 4: Kfb into each stitch, (20 stitches)
Rounds 5-14: Knit
Round 15: (Knit1, kfb) repeat the brackets across the round, (30 stitches)
Rounds 16-20: Knit
Cast off loosely.
Finishing:
Sew in all ends
Push a small amount of stuffing into the top of your ghost to give the head some shape.
Needle felt the eyes and mouth on with a felting needle.
Happy knitting!
Aw so cute! I think I need a mobile of tiny ghosts now…
This is boo-tacular!!!! My grandson loves ghosts this time of year, so I will hurry up and knit a few just for him! Thank you for sharing. I really enjoy your blog, patterns, nature lessons and all things you share.
This is soo neat to see, great work,
No offense, but I remember when I first started to knit at 8 years old, I made something like this but in brown yarn. My grandmother taught me to make a simple hat, and when I saw this ghost, that hat I made it looked like this. No offense, but that ghost brought back that memory.
Great job, and Happy Halloween.
That little ghost is to sweet to be scary/ Thank you, Hugs!
