Ghosts in a Row Crochet Hat

August 14, 2026

Halloween is officially on my hook! Meet the newest addition to my “In a Row” crochet hat collection: the Ghosts in a Row Crochet Hat!

Over the past few years I’ve created all kinds of “In a Row” hats including hearts, pumpkins, shamrocks, gingerbread men, Christmas trees and more. I love finding different ways to work a repeating design right into the rounds of a hat, and these little ghosts were such a fun one to figure out!

For this design, I decided to keep the entire hat one solid background color and let the white ghosts do all the talking. With the white bodies and little black eyes, there are already plenty of color changes happening in the ghost rounds. Plus, there is something about white ghosts floating across a solid purple, orange or charcoal hat that feels just right for Halloween!

Prefer a printable pattern? The complete 6-page, ad-free PDF is now available in my Etsy Shop, with written instructions for Baby through Adult sizes, full-size graphs for every size, technique tips, and more! >>> PRINTABLE DIGITAL PDF AVAILABLE HERE IN MY ETSY SHOP <<<

I made my samples with Red Heart Super Saver in Dark Orchid, Pumpkin and Charcoal. Pick your favorite Halloween shade for the background, or make a whole collection in different colors!

The ghost design is created using a simple 7-stitch repeat, which also helped me come up with a really easy sizing formula. Each larger hat simply adds another 7 stitches — and another ghost!

And yes… I already have another version in mind. Glow-in-the-dark ghosts! Stay tuned for that one!
I also love the person who suggested that this could become a Pac-Man hat as well!

Waistcoat (Knit-Look) Stitch

This hat is worked from the top down. The main portion of the hat is crocheted in double crochet (DC) as specified in the pattern below. The waistcoat stitch is used only for the 6 rounds of ghost colorwork.

If you can make a single crochet, you can make the waistcoat stitch! The secret is all in where you insert your hook. Instead of crocheting into the tops of the stitches, insert your hook into the center post of the stitch — right in the middle of the “V” you see on the front. Complete the stitch just like a regular single crochet.

This creates a smooth, knit-look stitch that works especially well for the ghost graph because the stitches stack neatly on top of one another, making the little ghost shapes easy to see.

Tip: Keep your tension a little loose when working the waistcoat stitch. If your stitches are too tight, it can be difficult to insert your hook into the center of the V.

Ghosts in a Row Graph

The graph shown is for the Baby size with 42 stitches and 6 ghosts.

Each ghost is a 7-stitch repeat. For the larger sizes, simply continue repeating the same 7-stitch ghost pattern around:

  • Baby: Repeat 6 times
  • Toddler/Preschool: Repeat 7 times
  • Child: Repeat 8 times
  • Teen: Repeat 9 times
  • Adult: Repeat 10 times

You can follow the graph or use the written instructions below.

Important: How to Read the Ghost Graph

Because this hat is crocheted from the top down, you will work the ghost graph from the top of the graph to the bottom.

Begin with Row 6 of the graph and work downward: Row 6 → Row 5 → Row 4 → Row 3 → Row 2 → Row 1

This creates the rounded top of the ghost first and finishes with the three little points along the bottom.

Ghost Colorwork — Crochet in This Order

  • Color A: Hat/background color
  • Color B: White
  • Color C: Black

Each ghost is a 7-stitch repeat.

Ghost Round 1 — Graph Row 6
A – A – B – B – B – A – A
[WC SC 2 with Color A, WC SC 3 with Color B, WC SC 2 with Color A]; repeat around, join.

Ghost Round 2 — Graph Row 5
A – B – B – B – B – B – A
[WC SC 1 with Color A, WC SC 5 with Color B, WC SC 1 with Color A]; repeat around, join.

Ghost Round 3 — Graph Row 4
A – B – C – B – C – B – A
[WC SC 1 with Color A, WC SC 1 with Color B, WC SC 1 with Color C, WC SC 1 with Color B, WC SC 1 with Color C, WC SC 1 with Color B, WC SC 1 with Color A]; repeat around, join.

Ghost Round 4 — Graph Row 3
A – B – B – B – B – B – A
[WC SC 1 with Color A, WC SC 5 with Color B, WC SC 1 with Color A]; repeat around, join.

Ghost Round 5 — Graph Row 2
A – B – B – B – B – B – A
[WC SC 1 with Color A, WC SC 5 with Color B, WC SC 1 with Color A]; repeat around, join.

Ghost Round 6 — Graph Row 1
A – B – A – B – A – B – A
[WC SC 1 with Color A, WC SC 1 with Color B] 3 times, WC SC 1 with Color A; repeat around, join.

A Note About Carrying Your Yarn

When working the ghost graph, I chose not to carry the unused yarn through the stitches. Because the ghosts are white and the background colors are much darker or brighter, I found that carrying the background yarn inside the white stitches allowed some of that color to show through.

Instead, I carried (or “floated”) the unused yarn loosely along the back of the work, picking it back up when it was needed for the next color change.

Be careful not to pull your floats too tightly! You want them to lie loosely across the inside of the hat so they don’t cause the fabric to pucker or affect the stretch of the hat.

The inside won’t look quite as tidy as the outside and that’s okay! The floats stay hidden inside the finished hat while keeping the white ghosts looking crisp and bright on the outside.

Finish the Hat with a Ribbed Border:

Please be sure and watch THIS TUTORIAL from my friend Daisy Farm Crafts on how to make a single crochet ribbed border. I love this technique because you don’t need to sew the ribbing on separately, it is crochet right onto the edge of the hat! It’s basically a chain 7 (or however long/short your want your ribbed border), SC in each chain until you get back to the hat edge, slip stitch in two stitches along the hat edge and then SC in the back loops of the ribbing and repeat. She has a VERY easy tutorial to follow and you can use this border on many different projects.

When you’ve finished the ribbed border along the edge of the hat you can slip stitch the seam together.

Fasten off and weave in all ends.

Color Ideas

I love how different this hat looks just by changing the background color! Dark Orchid gives it that classic purple Halloween look, Pumpkin is bright and playful, and Charcoal gives you a more neutral spooky version.

You could also try black, lime green or any other Halloween color you have in your yarn stash. Keep the ghosts white with black eyes and they’ll pop against just about any darker or brighter background.

And if you really want your ghosts to stand out when the lights go out, try substituting a worsted weight glow-in-the-dark yarn for the white! I’ll be trying that next!

I’m so happy with how these little ghosts turned out! What started as a bit of graph-paper experimenting turned into a whole family of Halloween hats, from tiny baby size all the way up to adult.

    Love how you incorporated the ghost motif using a simple 7-stitch repeat—it’s such a clever way to scale the design for different sizes! The choice of solid purple with white ghosts is perfect for Halloween, and using Red Heart Super Saver makes it so accessible. Can’t wait to see the glow-in-the-dark version; that sounds like a spooktacular twist!

    The repeating ghost motif worked directly into the rounds is such a clever way to build the pattern — I love how it keeps the hat cohesive without needing separate appliqués. The way you figured out the spacing for the ghosts in the round must have taken some trial and error, but it paid off perfectly for Halloween!

    Solid purple/orange/charcoal with white ghosts in the rounds — not a second color for the brim — is what makes this the Halloween “In a Row” hat after hearts and pumpkins. One head-on shot just looks like dots. I take one photo and cut it into a numbered grid so each ghost keeps its black eyes. That’s why we built ImageSplit: one photo, numbered cells in the browser, nothing uploaded.

    That floating ghost pattern is such a fun addition to the series, especially using the waistcoat stitch so the little shapes stack neatly instead of getting skewed. I tried a knit-look stitch on a colorwork project last year and definitely learned the hard way about keeping my tension loose, or else you spend half your time fighting to shove the hook through the center of the V. Those purple and orange backgrounds look fantastic for October.

    That seven-stitch repeat formula makes scaling up the sizes so much less stressful than usual. I usually get tripped up trying to adjust colorwork graphs for different head circumferences, but adding an extra ghost per size is such a clever way to handle it. Working with waistcoat stitch can definitely get a bit tight on the hands if you are not careful with tension, so that reminder is super helpful. I am definitely digging into my stash for some purple yarn tonight.

    The idea of using the waistcoat stitch for the ghost colorwork is brilliant since it keeps the little shapes from getting distorted. I tried a knit-look stitch on a beanie last winter and remember how tricky the tension can be if you pull your yarn too tight, so that tip about keeping it loose is spot on. Those floating ghosts against the dark orchid background look like such a fun project for October.

Working from the top down is always my preference for hats too, since it makes trying it on for size as you go so much easier.

    Those little ghosts floating around the hat look like such a fun project, especially since the 7-stitch repeat makes sizing up so straightforward. I usually struggle with colorwork because the stitches get too bulky or distorted, but using the waistcoat stitch for the ghost rounds sounds like it would keep everything stacking neatly. I have a skein of dark purple yarn sitting in my stash that would work perfectly for the background, and glow-in-the-dark yarn for the ghosts would be an absolute hit with my nieces.

I love working with the waistcoat stitch for colorwork because it keeps the graphics from looking distorted, though keeping my tension loose is definitely something I have to consciously remind myself to do. Using charcoal as the background color with those bright white bodies would look awesome.

    That seven-stitch repeat formula is brilliant for sizing up without overthinking the math. I tried making one with a charcoal background, and stacking those little ghosts using the waistcoat stitch really does make the shapes pop cleanly instead of looking jagged. Working from the top down made it so much easier to check the fit as I went. I am definitely going to hunt down some glow-in-the-dark yarn for the next batch.

    That seven-stitch repeat for the ghost graph is such a smart way to scale the sizes without overcomplicating things. I tried a similar waistcoat stitch project last year and totally agree about keeping the tension loose, otherwise working into those center V posts gets exhausting on the hands fast. Floating those little white ghosts over a dark charcoal background looks so crisp.

    The repeating ghost design is such a clever addition to the “In a Row” crochet hat collection! I especially love how it fits perfectly with the Halloween theme while keeping the pattern worked right into the rounds.

    I absolutely love your Ghosts in a Row Crochet Hat! The playful design is so charming. I can see how it would resonate with fans of spooky themes, much like how “Five Nights at Freddy’s” captures that eerie fun! Have you thought about adding characters or elements from the game to the design? It could make for an intriguing twist!

    I love this pattern, how easy it is to follow, and the result. However, I had a question about the wheat stitch part. I finished making one for my 6yo, but it’s getting stuck on his head. The wheat stitch part doesn’t even want to go over my 2yo head. Do I just need to do that part a lot looser?
    Any tips appreciated. Thanks!
