With Halloween right around the corner, I wanted to share with you guys one of the first things I ever made with my own pattern! This is the mini version of the Ghostmoji, which is about keychain-sized, and soon I’ll be posting a pattern for a slightly bigger sized Ghostmoji! I love this pattern because you can embroider or felt whatever silly or kawaii faces you want on to it!
A great thing about this pattern in particular is that it uses such a tiny amount of yarn, so it’s a fantastic way to use up scrap yarn, which I’m all about since I have SO MUCH of it haha!
You could also leave off the arms and use a different color yarn to make a Pacman ghost! Hmmm… Maybe I’ll make a post about that soon!
