Now your pumpkin hat is divided into 6 sections by lines made of front loops you left 6 times in each round.
Insert the needle with yarn tail through all the loops of first line moving from the bottom to the top of your
pumpkin. Give a gentle tug to make a slight indent. Insert the needle through the center of the pumpkin and
draw it out 1 stitch aside, near the second line.
Insert the needle with yarn tail through all the loops of the second line moving from the top to the bottom of
your pumpkin.
Turn, skip last front loop and go back through the same loops to the top of the pumpkin hat. Give a gentle
tug to make a slight indent.
Repeat the steps 4 more times to create evenly spaced indents around the pumpkin. Tie off yarn and secure.
Stem:
Rnd 1: 6 sc in magic ring [6]
Rnd 2: sc in all 6 st in back loops only [6]
Rnd 3: sc in all 6 st [6]
Rnd 4: (sc in next 2 st, inc) repeat 2 times [8]
Finish with sl st. Fasten off leaving a tail for sewing.
Sew the stem in place on top of the pumpkin.
Assembly:
1. Turn the ghost sheet inside out and find 16 back loops you left on Rnd 19. Use these 16 back loops and 16
stitches of the last round of body to sew the parts together. Take into account the eye location when joining
the parts.
2. Sew arms on Rnd 20 of the ghost sheet.
3. Embroider mouth and “scar” on the head with black embroidery floss.
4. Fix pumpkin hat on the head with several stitches.
Your lovely amigurumi ghost is done! Happy Halloween!
