Ghosts are spirits of the deceased said to linger in familiar places or places where they have passed away and have not yet crossed over to the other realm.
A friendly ghost who likes to wander and explore, Li’l Boo, enjoys Halloween, viewing decorations, trick or treating and meeting other ghosts and ghouls. This is a quick and easy project you can create for Halloween!
This project uses US Crochet Terms and is worked in continuous rounds.
