Ghost and Pumpkin Appliques ♥ Crochet Pattern

Today, I’m going to share how to crochet these adorable ghost and pumpkin appliques! You can use these Halloween-inspired appliques in any crochet project, as a brooch, earrings, hair clips, or whatever you want. Get creative!

This crochet pattern is easy and perfect if you are a beginner in crochet. All that is required are basic stitches and how to crochet in the round. Use different colors if you would like. I stuck with the typical orange pumpkin and white ghostie, but I think these appliques would look so cute in different colors!

If you crochet this project, you can post it on Ravelry or tag me @mooeyscrochet so that I can see your creation. If you would like to support me in making this crochet pattern available for free, you can send me a Ko-fi.
