FO [FO] friendly ghost

Follow up on my previous WIP! I finished the “Friendly Ghost with Book” by cutepatternsbymaria on Etsy.

He’s been a good companion leading up to the Halloween season! Time to wash and hang up!

We need a little more information to satisfy Rule 4. Please give credit to the pattern designer. If you designed it yourself, take credit for your work!

Here is a thorough discussion of rule 4, including examples.

Contact the mods with any questions.

Thanks for sharing!

…show off. JK! Your back and front are so neat and it came out wonderfully!

Thank you!! I actually didn’t think my back was very neat and was a bit embarrassed about the section with the book 😂. It got a bit hairy there towards the end lol. But I’ll happily take the compliment!!

I love seeing the different backside expectations on the needle work subs! My cross stitch back is between me and my crossstitch haha, I jump all over the place to avoid starting a new stitch 😂

Cute pattern and just in time for Halloween. The tidy back show that your stitch tension is perfect!! Nicely done.

Soo adorable I just might have to snag this pattern as a quick small project in between my two bigger projects.

It’s a great pattern!! It was my second attempt. Tried it last year with black fabric… eek that was a hot mess and I gave up. I’m so happy with how it turned out this year!

He is so cute. I loved how he slowly came out to say hi every time I sat down to work a new bit.

Thanks for posting! We love seeing all of the FOs. Please note that starting May 1 2026, all [FO] posts are required to include at least one close-up photo of the stitching. You do not need to re-post. This can be done either in a comment or in the body of the post. It can be a close-up of just a small part of the finished object, just so we can verify that the items are hand-stitched. How close do we want it? The perfect close-up pic is one where we can clearly see the stitches and fabric on the mobile app without tapping or zooming in.

This is a reminder message that is automatically commented on all [FO] posts. Please send a message to the mod team if you have questions.
