Let’s dive into the pattern! This ghost pillow is made by crocheting two separate panels, which are then joined together around the pillow insert.
Front and Back Panels
Use white yarn with a 6.00mm crochet hook.
- Row 1: Ch 44, dc into the 3rd ch from hook, sc in next ch, dc in next ch, sc in next ch, repeat from across, turn (42)
- Row 2: Ch 2, dc in first st, sc in next st, dc in next st, sc in next st, repeat from across, turn (42)
- Repeat Row 2 until you have a total of 34 rows.
Make two panels.
Eyes

- Round 1: Magic ring, ch 1, 10 hdc in ring, join to first st (10)

Fasten off and leave a tail for sewing.
Assembly
Each panel should measure roughly 14” x 14”. They will be stretchy, so stretch them out a bit before sewing on the face.
- Use the photo as a guide to sew on the eyes and mouth with black yarn and a tapestry needle. You can also use fabric glue to attach the pieces.
- Hold both panels together and attach white yarn to a corner. Use a 6.00mm hook and crochet the panels together with single crochets evenly around. Make 3 single crochets in each corner.
- Once three sides are crocheted together, insert the pillow and crochet the remaining side. Join to the first stitch, fasten off, and weave in ends.
