Happy Halloween Ghosts

These happy ghosts are always friendly and cheerful! They love playing tricks at Halloween, shaking their chains to give everyone a gentle surprise, or dressing up with a top hat and bow tie—or maybe a pretty hair bow.

Happy Ghosts are a quick and easy knitting project, perfect for confident beginners eager for a fun, festive make.

Full, clear line-by-line instructions will guide you through knitting and assembling your Happy Ghosts with ease.

The ghosts are knitted flat on standard needles, each one crafted in a single piece with just a touch of seaming.

You’ll use simple shaping throughout—just knit two together or knit front and back—making this project approachable and relaxing.

Arm stitches are held on stitch holders until you finish the body, then slipped back on the needles to knit each arm. I’ll walk you through these steps row by row, so you’ll never feel lost.
