Cute Little Ghost Amigurumi Pattern

This little guy, this cute and cuddly little ghost that’s very quick to make and has the same style as the amigurumi we’ve been making lately on the channel.

Pattern Highlights

Body Construction

Worked in continuous rounds from the magic ring up.
Early shaping with strategic increases to create a smooth, rounded head and body.
Includes cheeks formed by consecutive increases and decreases, giving personality to the ghost.

Facial Features

Safety eyes, placed exactly between rounds 12 and 13 for expressive look.
Embroidered eyebrows, mouth, and optional tongue for added character.

Limbs

Popcorn stitch used for little arms and feet, seamlessly worked into the rounds.
Placement matches up with cheeks, ensuring symmetry.

Finishing Details

Exact filling and closing instructions for neat amigurumi.
Custom face embroidery with options for a tongue or other expressions.

Notes

Always use a stitch marker to track the start of your round for proper alignment.
Straighten your work after early rounds to avoid inverting the fabric.
Safety eyes must be placed before stuffing and closing the head.
Adjust stuffing to avoid deformity—stuff the head well, but the tail can be left less full for a classic ghost shape.
For a playful tongue, use red yarn and simple embroidery techniques as demonstrated.
