A Halloween Crochet Creation Inspired by My Daughter's Art: Coco-Gh...

Don’t worry—it's just a friendly Coco-Ghost! I crocheted my daughter’s favourite imaginary character, Coco-Ghost, which she has been obsessed with since she was five. She used to draw all kinds of Coco-Ghosts, so I chose one of her designs to bring to life with crochet. Now, she can see and hold her little character just like she always imagined.

This one is the coco-ghost drinking a coco in a mug.

This was fun to do and gave us giggles. I winged every step, so I can't give you an exact pattern.

But here it is.

I mainly used white cotton DK yarn and a 4mm hook for the head/body. Plus assorted types of excess yarns for accessories.

I started with a magic ring.

Then, I did a single crochet throughout, increasing the stitches until I was happy with the size.

Then, I continued to add height.

Then, I created a frilly edge at the bottom.

I made a lid.

I stuffed the body/head.

I sewed the lid to keep the stuffing in.

For the arms/hands, I used a magic ring and double crochet throughout, increasing and then decreasing the stitches to create a ball shape.

For the eyes, I crocheted using leftover yarns in a few colours with a small 2.5mm hook.

One eye is bigger than the other, just like in her drawing!

Then, I secured and attached it to the head.

I embroidered the pink lips.

Then, the light pink blush.

She's got a cute face!

Now, for the chocolate drip!

I did three single crochet in the next four stitches, then chained three. Starting from the second chain from the hook, I worked back up with one single crochet and one half double crochet, slip-stitching to the next stitch on the cap base (adjusting stitches for varied drip sizes).
