How to Customize Your Crochet Ghost
Personalize your ghost by experimenting with different yarn colors. Why not make a pink or purple ghost for a fun twist? You can also add the classic Pac-Man ghost eyes or use glow-in-the-dark yarn for an extra spooky effect.
Add accessories like a tiny witch hat or a mini pumpkin for a festive look. You can even stitch on small embellishments like bows or buttons to give each ghost a unique personality.
