Goo.ee, the Wizard Ghost



I've been selling crocheted dolls for the past 7 years and I think it's time to release my own pattern. I keep my patterns of most of my dolls but in a format that only can be read by me. It took me awhile to put all these patterns in proper structure and format.

Goo.ee is our first free pattern I've created and I will like to share with all the fellow crocheters. It's a very simple pattern with slight twist. I'm sure you'll have lots of fun while making Goo.ee.
If you have any question. feel free to comment or drop us an email at julshandmade[at]gmail.com. I need a lot of feedback so that I can continue to improve on the pattern.

  • 2.5mm hook (US Size C/2)
  • Acrylic Yarns - White, Black & Red

  • Plastic eyes 7.5mm diameter or 10mm black oval (optional)

Measurements:

Approx. 8mm tall (from the tip of the hat to the tail)

Note:
- I'm crocheting in continuous circle / crocheting in spiral. To work using this method,  you are required to use something to mark the 1st sc of each round.
- However, you can also use joined circle method for this pattern, please refer to the additional step to complete the round:

   Sl st into the first sc to complete the round, 1ch, 1sc into the 1st sc of the previous round.

- Start to stuff the fiber fill from Round 21 onward
- Leave a long tail of yarn after completing

Use the tapestry needle to sew the ghostly tail

Sew across and back so that the ghostly tail shaped in 'S'

Ta-da, this is what you need to achieve!

I'm using joined circle for this pattern
*Additional step for joined circles:

Sew the eyes or you can use oval bead eyes.

Sew a small stitch of white on each eye to make the eyes look cuter
Add two stitches right under each eye to make blusher
