    This is such a cute pattern! I am getting stumped after round 13. After rd 13, I have those little waves at the bottom but it all goes to hell after I start on rd 14. The waves disappear and I am not down to 18 stitches. Any ideas? Thank you!

    Update: round 13, knit front loop only, “1sc, 1dc, 1sc, sl “ should it be repeat 6 times instead of 10 times? Coz it only have total of 24 stitches for this round only. If really do 10 times, it would be over lap ?

      Hai Joey!

      In round 13 the section “1sc, 1dc, 1sc” is shown in parentheses like (1 sc, 1 dc, 1sc) stitches done in parentheses are done in the same stitch. (This was stated in the notes atbthe beginning of the pattern)  

      So the round would go:

      Stitch 1: (1 sc, 1 dc, 1 sc) as one stitch space

      Stitch 2:  sl st 

      Stitch 3: (1 sc, 1 dc, 1 sc) as one stitch space

      Stitch 4:  sl st 

      Stitch 5: (1 sc, 1 dc, 1 sc) as one stitch space

      Stitch 6:  sl st 

      Stitch 7: (1 sc, 1 dc, 1 sc) as one stitch space

      Stitch 8:  sl st 

      Stitch 9: (1 sc, 1 dc, 1 sc) as one stitch space

      Stitch 10:  sl st 

      Stitch 11: (1 sc, 1 dc, 1 sc) as one stitch space

      Stitch 12:  sl st 

      There is also a video showing how to do it, if you need a visual!

    I’m a bit confused about the bobble. 5dc in 1 stitch.. and how do I go under it in the next row? Or am I missing something?

    Hi Tiffany! I love this pattern so much and appreciate your work. I was wondering if I could have permission to sell the ghosts that I make with this pattern. Much love 🙂

    Think I am doing something weird with my bobble. It keeps appearing on the inside of my howl? Should I have not turned it inside out when it started to cup (around round 4) Is it crocheted then turned the right way out?
    Many Thanks 👻

    Where can I find the pdf printable version? I have looked on Ravelry and cannot see the pdf there either. Please advise; I’m so excited to make this cute little guy.
    Thanks a bunch!

    I love this little ghost! I hate making tiny arms and seeing them on so I love the bobbles in the middle of the row! I was hoping to download the pdf but the “here” at the top of the page isn’t linked to anything anymore. Any suggestions?

    Hi!! I really want to make this cute ghost but unsure of the dimensions! Is it a very small ghost? I’m looking for around 4 inches tall – thanks!!

    I’m having trouble with the last three rows, especially the one that says blo in round 13… I can’t see my stitches so I must be doing something wrong. I have watched the tutorial already and am really struggling with this. Thanks for your help!

    I love this pattern. My sister is a helicopter pilot in the Air Force and her call sign is Ghost! I’ve made her this little guy in different yarns and filled with stuffing or poly fill beads. The most recent was with glow in the dark yarn. He is being sent to Italy where she is stationed. She gives some of them away to other airmen too! Just wanted you to know how much use I’ve gotten with this pattern and how important it has become to our family! Howl is making his way around the world!

      Thank you so much for sharing this story with me, this is very sweet to hear about. I’m very glad to hear that Howl has brought comfort and happiness to so many, I hope you continue to make more! Ghost is a pretty cool call sign!
