Ghost Doily

If you’ve been reading my blog recently, you know that I’ve been engrossed in crocheting Halloween-themed amigurumi.

For those just joining us, those posts are: The Three Amigurumi and More Halloween Amigurumi.

Anyhoo, I had one final Halloween project on my hook. The pattern is Boo! by Marsha Glassner.

I used undyed Aunt Lydia’s Classic Crochet (Size 10) and a 2.25 mm (B) hook. I had just as much fun with this table topper as I did with the amigurumi.

The pattern worked up quickly. The directions were a bit unclear to me in a few spots; that may reflect my level of crochet (in)expertise rather than how the pattern was written. In any event, I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the ghosts emerge as I crocheted.

I think I can now say that our home is well-decorated for Halloween. And we still have one more day to enjoy everything before we pack it all away for another year! I’m ready to get back to the other projects that have been languishing while I indulged in these whimsical decorations.

Oh, but I just saw that Marsha Glassner designed a Santa doily. Christmas will be here before we know it ...
