Pirate Jack Skeleton

List of Materials:

• 2mm crochet hook;
• White cotton sports weight yarn;
• Black thread to embroider the face.
• Sewing needle;
• Stuffing material;
• Scissors.

Finish size:

This crochet mini ghost measures about 2 inches (4.5 cm) tall, making it the perfect tiny decoration to add a playful Halloween touch anywhere in your home.

Gauge

You don’t need to worry too much about the gauge for this pattern. Just choose a hook that works well with your yarn. I always like to use a slightly smaller hook than the yarn label suggests—this helps keep the stitches nice and tight, so the stuffing doesn’t poke through. If your stitches look a bit loose, try going down a hook size.
