 Materials Notes
Yarn in white, orange, and green This pattern was made using worsted
Stuffing weight yarn and a 2.5 mm hook. It can
2.5 mm crochet hook, or preferred be made with chunkier yarns, just
hook size for yarn adjust your hook size accordingly.
Safety eyes for ghost and pumpkin
Yarn scraps or embroidery floss for For Parfait Chunky (and similar) I use a
mouth 4 - 4.5 mm hook. For Bernat Blanket I
Yarn needle use a 5 - 6.5 mm hook.

A good rule of thumb for amigurumi is

to check the label on the yarn, then go
Abbriviations down a size or two. You want to be
crocheting at a tight gauge so no
ch - chain
sc - single crochet stuffing shows through your stitches.
inc - increase The easiest way to do that without
dec - decrease hurting your hands is to use a smaller
FLO - front loops only hook.
BLO - back loops only
dc - double crochet
sc 3 inc - single crochet 3 increase - sc
3 in stitch
Special stitch - mini bobble
[Yarn over, insert hook into stitch and
pull up a loop. yarn over, pull through
two loops.] Repeat 2x. You should have
3 loops left on your hook.
Yarn over, pull through all 3 loops at
once. Ch 1 and continue working into
the next stitch.

Grabby Ghost's long arms are for holding

on to the things they love
