The Knit Guru

I think these are super cute ghosts, and we are right before Halloween, so time to make many of them.

If you want to make the glow-in-the-dark version, feel free to use my discount link for Blingbling Yarns here which will give you 10% off your order. Use code “THEKNITGURU” at checkout.

I have a full interactive tutorial available here on Ribblr, and a full video tutorial here on Youtube.

14. In the back loops of the previous row – 2sc, dec – repeat over the row. (18)
    Sc, dec – repeat over row (12)
15. Stuff the ghostie. Dec over the whole row (6) – cut off yarn and weave in the end to close the hole.

Eyes

This is all in the one row around a magic circle. Using black, make a magic circle. 3sc into the circle – leaving the last pull through of the 3rd stitch to be the colour change to white. 3sc in white. Pull the magic circle ring to close – ss in the first stitch. Pull on all the yarn ends to tighten the eye.

Stitch the eyes on the front of your ghostie.
