Ghost and Pumpkin Brooches ♥ Crochet Pattern

Welcome to one of two Halloween crochet patterns I’ve prepared for Blogtober. Technically, three because I share two patterns in this post! If you’ve seen my latest crochet painting then you may have seen those cute ghosts and pumpkins, today I’m going to share how to crochet both. You can use these as brooches, hair clips, or whatever you want! Get creative!

This pattern is really easy and perfect is you are a beginner in crochet, all you need to know is how to crochet in the round and a few simple stitches.

If you crochet this project, you can post it on Ravelry or tag me @mooeyscrochet so that I can see your creation. If you want to learn how to crochet, watch my crochet how-to video here. If you would like to support me for making this crochet pattern available for free, you can buy me a Ko-fi.
