Halloween is rapidly approaching – no matter how early I get started with my Halloween makes I always seem to be in a race to get them all finished!.

This year I wanted a to make a few little crochet Halloween decorations that I could also use as gifts, I had a few different ideas in mind but settled on a little crochet halloween ghost, made with a length of crochet chain and some buttons. I am super happy with how these little ones have turned out, and will be keeping the other ideas I had in mind for decorations to make next year!.

I made these with white wool but you could make these in any colours you like.
