I have been working on creating some Halloween motifs that can be used to make pillows or joined together to make a blanket. Here are the first two motifs, the ghost and pumpkin.
Materials needed:
4.0 mm crochet hook
710 yards Worsted weight yarn for a Pillow
355 yards for just the motif.
Fiber-fil (Poly-Fil) to stuff the pillow
Scissors
Yarn needle
This pattern is written in US terms and includes written instructions To make the Ghost and Pumpkin Motifs as well as instructions on how to make Pillows from the Motifs.
Stitches used:
CH = Chain
SC = Single Crochet
HDC = Half Double Crochet
Bobble = Half Double Crochet Bobble
Special Stitch:
Half Double Crochet Bobble stitch: This stitch is worked from the wrong side. Yarn over, pick up a loop in stitch, draw through first 2 loops on hook, you will still have 2 loops on hook, yarn over, pull up loop, draw through first two loops on hook, you will have 3 loops left on hook, yarn over, pull up a loop, draw through first two loops on hook, you will have 4 loops on hook, yarn over, pull up a loop, draw through first two loops on hook, yarn over draw through all 5 loops on hook. Bobble stitch is now complete.
Pattern Notes:
The chain 1 does not count as a stitch in this pattern
