Skill level: Intermediate

Approximate size: mobile – 15 in (38 cm) long; little ghosts – 2 in (5 cm) tall; ghost at the bottom – 2.4 in (6 cm) tall.

MATERIALS: 1 skein of Amigurumi yarn – Colors 8001 (White) and 8990 (Black); Scraps of Cléa yarn – Color 8990 (Black); 1 pair of 8 mm safety eyes (Black); Fiberfill; B-1 crochet hook (2.5 mm); Tapestry needle; Stitch marker; Galvanized wire – 24 in (60 cm); Wire cutters; Black felt scraps; Círculo Universal Glue.

STITCHES USED: Increase = inc; Triple Increase = tr inc; Chain = ch; Decrease = dec; Half Double Crochet = hdc; Double Crochet = dc; Single Crochet = sc

EXAMPLES OF HOW TO READ THIS PATTERN:

0th rnd: 0 sc → Single round (follow the indicated stitches).

0th and 0th rnd: 0 sc → 2 identical rounds (follow the indicated stitches).

0th to 0th rnd: 0 sc → Rounds with the same sequence (follow the indicated stitches).

0th rnd: 0 sc, 1 inc, (00 sc, 2 inc) 5x, 0 sc = XX sc → Round with repeats in parentheses (follow the indicated stitches and repeat the instructions in parentheses the specified number of times).

0th rnd: 0 sc, 1 dec = XX sc → Round with repetition throughout (repeat the instructions between asterisks throughout the round).

Ghost at the Bottom

With Amigurumi yarn 8001 (White)

1st rnd: 6 sc into a magic ring

2nd rnd: 6 inc = 12 sc

3rd rnd: 1 sc, 1 inc = 18 sc

4th rnd: 2 sc, 1 inc = 24 sc

5th rnd: 3 sc, 1 inc = 30 sc

6th to 15th rnd: 30 sc

16th rnd: 4 sc, 1 inc = 36 sc

17th rnd: 5 sc, 1 inc = 42 sc

Insert the eyes between the 8th and 9th rnds, with 3 stitches between them.

18th rnd: Working in the back loops only, make 21 dec = 21 sc

19th rnd: 1 sc, 1 dec = 14 sc

Stuff.

20th rnd: 7 dec = 7 sc

Fasten off and close with an invisible finish.

In the remaining front loops of rnd 17, work: 1 sc, 1 hdc, 2 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc = 42 stitches

Cut an oval shape from the black felt scrap for the mouth and glue it onto the ghost.

Chain 80, leaving a yarn tail at the beginning. Fasten off, leaving a yarn tail for sewing.

Base

With Amigurumi yarn 8990 (Black)

Chain 112 and, starting in the 2nd ch, work:

1st row: 15 sc, (1 tr inc, 15 sc) 6x = 123 sc

2nd row: Turn the work and make 123 sc

3rd and 4th rows: Turn the work and make 2 sc, 2 hdc, 115 dc, 2 hdc, 2 sc = 123 stitches

Change to color 8001 (White)

Prepare the wire by bending the end to form a closed loop so it can be tied later.

5th row: Turn the work and make sc along the longest side, sc along the side, sc into the foundation chain together with the wire (as if carrying the yarn along), and sc along the side.

Fasten off, leaving a yarn tail for sewing.

At the top of the mobile, fold the end to make it firmer and narrower, and sew it with the reserved yarn tail. Pass the yarn through the wire loop to keep the base from slipping. Important: Do not cut or finish the other end of the wire yet.

Shape the wire so that the mobile base matches the shape shown in the photo.

Attach the inner string to the wire loop and fasten off this end. Pass the inner string through the mobile and sew it to the end of the base.

Adjust the wire according to the length of the inner string, make a small loop at the end, and cut the wire. Fold the end and sew it, as you did on the other side.

With Amigurumi yarn 8001 (White), sew the ghost at the bottom to the wire loop.

To attach the little ghosts to the mobile, sew their strings to the outer sections of the mobile, as shown in the photo.
