Ghoulie the Ghost Cushion Crochet Pattern – Featured in Crochet Now Issue 112

Are you ready for some Halloween fun? I’m thrilled to introduce a boo’tiful project for this spooky season – meet Ghoulie the Ghost Cushion from Issue 112 of Crochet Now – he’s just ‘dying’ to party! Whether you’re gearing up for the biggest Halloween party of the year or just looking to add some festive charm to your home, Ghoulie is here to bring some playful, not-so-spooky vibes to your décor.

A cute, crochet ghost cushion named Ghoulie, with a friendly, smiling face. Ghoulie has a soft white body with black eyes and a stitched mouth. The cushion is adorned with 'Boo' bunting that stretches across its top, featuring orange flags with black writing. The background is a cosy, autumn-themed setting with pumpkins and a few Halloween decorations. — © Practical Publishing 2024 (Crochet Now Issue 112)

Ghoulie is no ordinary ghost. With his tall hat and friendly grin, he’s the perfect cushion for cosy Halloween nights in. While others may think Halloween is all about scares, Ghoulie’s approach is more about fun and festivity, he’s here to be the ‘life’ (or afterlife!) of the party. He’s got a mischievous twinkle in his eye, but rest assured, he’s as soft and cuddly as can be!

This year, Ghoulie is pulling out all the stops for the big Halloween bash. He’s decked out in his very own handmade ‘Boo’ bunting – his favourite accessory! The bunting adds just the right touch of Halloween spirit without going over the top, making it perfect for anyone who enjoys a mix of spooky and sweet. Can’t you just picture him at the party, proudly hanging out on the sofa or as the centrepiece of a fun-filled living room?

A table top covered with various skeins of Yarnsmiths Create Super Chunky Yarn in a range of vibrant colours. The yarn is thick and fluffy, creating a soft, textured appearance. The colours include rich shades of orange, deep purple, black, rose pink, and warm mustard yellow. The background is a neutral, light surface that contrasts with the bold hues of the yarn.

For Ghoulie I used some Yarnsmiths Create Super Chunky, which was a new yarn to me. It’s a very squishy super chunky weight yarn that’s made from 100% Acrylic in 100g (80m) balls which helps make Ghoulie ‘hauntingly’ cute and ‘boo-tifully’ soft!

Standing at 70cm /27.5 inches tall the only other things you will need for Ghoulie are;
