Hello my lovelies! If you loved the charm of Sugarplum Unicorn, you’re in for another treat with her friend, Sugarplum Beary! This huggable little bear is here to add even more magic and warmth to your winter crochet line-up. Featured in Crochet Now magazine issue 114, the Sugarplum Beary is ready to be the next addition to your seasonal projects.

For the Sugarplum Beary I used some of my favourite Ricorumi DK yarn which, if you’re not familiar with it, is a 100% cotton yarn that comes in 25g (57.5m) balls. It’s one of my absolute favourites! With 80 solid shades to choose from, it’s perfect for amigurumi, offering a fantastic range of colours.

For her colour scheme it of course was inspired by sugarplum tones so lots of purples, pinks and magenta and of course a lovely bit of sparkle!

I combined this with some Ricorumi Twinkly Twinkly which is a new yarn that I was excited to try. It’s like Ricorumi but with a lovely bit of metallic thread running through it – perfect for my little magical fairy bear. The only other things you will need for this project are;

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.

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?

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;

Whether you’re hosting a Halloween party yourself or just want to bring a bit of the season into your home, Ghoulie makes a delightful addition. He’s more of a “friendly haunt,” making him great for family-friendly celebrations or those who prefer their Halloween with a touch of whimsy.

If you’re eager to get started on Ghoulie, you’ll find the full pattern in Issue 112 of Crochet Now. which is available to buy from most supermarkets. Or if you miss the print version you can grab a digital version from www.craftstash.co.uk/books-magazines

If you make up Ghoulie I hope you’ll share any finished photos with me on social media (facebook, twitter or instagram) or as a project on Ravelry – I love to see what you make! And finally you may wish to make sure you are signed up to blog (below) and / or my mailing list to get a reminder when new blog posts, discounts or new pattern releases are available.

Until next time folks! Happy crocheting, and here’s to a spook-tacular Halloween! 🎃👻 xx
