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?
The hook size is “H” as in Happy Halloween!

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
We wrote a whole essay about such things how to do them and so on, because soon a clear holiday is on the nose. Because it is good that I was able to find at least recommendations how to write these essays different. It is easier than it may seem, you just need to think about how to address them at once, you can see here information about how to write an essay of any complexity. I think it will be useful for everyone. How it once was useful to me. Now I will be able to write them quickly, instead of sitting all day and sweating over some stupid essay in fact. I think that now nobody will have problems with it.
So impressed with your web post and thank you for sharing Free vbucks very useful tips.
