• She mentions plans to add more accessories in the future and points viewers to the description box for supplies.
• The main tools used include worsted weight acrylic yarn in white and a 4mm crochet hook.

Creating the Ghost’s Body

   • She provides references to other tutorials for viewers needing extra guidance on this technique.
2. Building the Body:
   • Instructions for increasing rounds are detailed, beginning with single crochets and progressing systematically to shape the ghost’s body.
   • After round 11, Sarah pauses to add 9mm safety eyes between rounds 9 and 10 and demonstrates how to position them accurately.

1. Top Closure and Stuffing:
   • She explains how to close the top using decrease rounds, working into back loops and eventually transitioning to front loops.
   • After stuffing the body, she shows how to finish the top with an invisible closure using a tapestry needle.
2. Base of the Ghost:
   • The tutorial continues with instructions for working into the unworked loops from an earlier round to create the base.
   • After shaping through several rounds, Sarah explains how to fasten off and weave in the ends.

Adding Features and Details

1. Eye Details and Mouth:

   • Sarah emphasizes that each ghost’s expression will be slightly different, adding to their uniqueness.
2. Adding Blush:
   • She applies blush to the cheeks for a whimsical touch, using makeup and a blending brush for even application.

Crafting Accessories

1. Flower Crown:
   • Small flowers (based on a magic circle) are created using a 2.75mm hook and colored yarn.
   • After completing multiple petals and flowers, pom-poms are glued to the flower centers, and the flowers are added to the ghost’s head.

1. Cowboy Hat:
   • The hat begins with a magic circle, progressing through increase rounds to shape the brim and top.
   • Sarah explains variations in stitches, such as half-double and double crochet increases, to create texture.

• • The completed hat is shaped and either attached permanently or left removable for versatility.
