Happy October! The kids and I are handing out Ghost Hugs! Cute little crochet ghosts with tiny open arms. Seems like this is the perfect social distancing project to kick off the month of October! Now that my kids are going back to school in-person, wearing masks and maintaining 6 feet distance is even more important and mandated by the school. They can’t hug their teachers or friends (it’s a crazy world we are living in right now). Ghost hugs are the next best thing: You can’t feel it but it’s there! So in other words, no real hugs this year.. just air hugs.
Materials:
– Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in White
– Size H Crochet Hook
– 2 small safety eyes
– Polyfil fiber stuffing
– Small strand of black embroidery thread for mouth
– Tapestry Needle
Size = approximately 4 inches

What size crochet hook did you use to achieve the little ghost?

Stop what you’re doing and wash your hands immediately if you inadvertently touch the front of your mask.
Avoid touching the front of your face covering. The front of your mask is contaminated. When you remove it, only touch the part of your face covering that goes around your ears or around the back of your head.
Nice to be here
