Accessories for Ghosties:

To make the mini pumpkins, follow the instructions for Pumpkin #2 on this post, but chain 6 for the smallest one, and chain 9 for the larger pumpkin.

For the bow:

In a magic ring: (Ch-4 , 3 Tr, Ch-4) and Sl st into ring. Again, (Ch-4, 3 Tr, Ch-4) Sl st into ring and fasten off.

Thread the end tail through the center of the magic ring to the back of the bow. Tighten the magic ring to close.

Take the beginning tail and the end tail and go around the front in opposite directions and tie around back (like tying a gift).

Cinch down tightly in center of bow before knotting.

Use the tails to attach bow to the top of the ghost. Thread one strand between rows 1 and 2, and the other one stitch away, between rows 2 and 3. I place mine around 2 stitches to the right of the center so it appears slightly off to the side. Tie the tails together on the inside. You can also glue the bow into place instead.

Round 10: SC 1, Sl st in next 2 stitches, invisible fasten off and weave in ends.

I didn’t attach the hat to the ghosts, just placed it on top. You can glue or sew into place if you would like!
