Gather Your Materials

Before you start your crochet ghost earring adventure, ensure you have all the necessary materials. You'll need:

• Size 4 (3.5mm) crochet hook
• Embroidery scissors
• Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
• Earring findings (clips and posts)

Pattern Notes

Our free crochet ghost earrings pattern is written in US terms (single crochet = chain stitch, half double crochet, etc.). Each ghost consists of three main parts: the body, the head, and the loop for the earring.

We'll guide you through working up each piece, then joining them together to create your charming ghost earrings. As with any crochet pattern, read through the entire pattern before starting to familiarize yourself with the sequence of steps.

Work Your Ghost Earring Bodies

Begin by working your white yarn. Chain 6, then work 5 single crochets (sc) into the 6th chain. Turn and work 5 more sc in the second-from-top loop of each sc. Continue to increase evenly around the circle until you have 18 sc.

Switch to the light grey yarn and work one round of sc around. Now, you'll decrease to create the pointed bottom of your ghost. Decrease by knitting 2 sc together in each stitch (k2tog) around the circle. Fasten off and weave in ends.

Create the Ghostly Heads

With your light grey yarn, chain 5. Work 4 sc into the 5th chain. In the next 4 stitches, work 2 sc, then decrease by knitting 2 sc together in the last stitch. This will give you a rounded, ghostly head. Fasten off and weave in ends.

Add the Eye Details

Using your darker grey yarn, chain 3, then work 3 sc into the chain. Fasten off and weave in ends. Attach this to your ghost's head using a tapestry needle, positioning it as the eye.

Repeat this process for the second eye, then for the second ghost. You should now have two ghost bodies, two ghost heads, and four eyes.

Assemble Your Crochet Ghost Earrings

Using your tapestry needle, sew the ghost head to the top of the ghost body, making sure the eyes are facing upwards. Leave a long enough tail to attach the earring finding.

Attach your earring clip or post, loop yarn through the finding, then stitch the yarn back through the top of the ghost head to secure it. Repeat for the second ghost, then admire your adorable, handmade crochet ghost earrings!
