Materials Needed for Green Glow Spiral Halloween Garland with Phantoms and Pumpkins Amigurumi Pattern

Assembly Instructions

• Attach loop to top of spiral tube: position hanging loop at the crown of the spiral and sew through the tube and around the internal core with the long tail to anchor it securely. Weave tail into the tube and trim.
• Mark decoration positions along the outer edge of the spiral with pins spaced about 18-22 cm apart. Place items in alternating order (ghost, pumpkin) and check balance visually before sewing.
• For each decoration, thread the hanging loop through two stitches on the outer edge of the spiral and sew the loop to the tube with tight whip stitches. Use at least 6 passes to secure each loop; hide ends inside the tube.
• Sew the ghost arm stubs at rounds approximately corresponding to the ghost's side level (rounds 9-10 on the ghost). Position arms slightly forward and sew through only the outer shell for a round look.
• Sew pumpkin stem cap to the pumpkin top center, passing the hanging loop through the stem center before final stitching so the loop is anchored and hidden within the cap.
• Secure spiral shape by stitching through overlapping spiral layers at three anchor points (top, middle, bottom). Stitch through both sides of the tube and into the core or wrap core with yarn to keep shape stable.
• Embroider faces after stuffing and closing each decoration; use a yarn needle to make satin stitches for opaque eyes and a neat mouth. Secure thread tails inside the decoration.
• Weave all loose ends back into the spiral and decorations. Trim excess and check for any gaps; if a small opening is found, stitch closed using the yarn tail and a tapestry needle.

Important Notes

• 💡Use stitch markers consistently at the beginning of each round to avoid counting errors and maintain proper shaping.
• 💡Stuff body parts gradually as you work rather than waiting until the end, especially for narrow openings like arms and legs.
• 💡For safety eyes, position and secure before stuffing head fully - they cannot be repositioned once locked in place.
• 💡Maintain consistent tension throughout the project; too tight creates stiff, small pieces, too loose creates floppy, holey fabric.
• 💡When sewing pieces together, use yarn slightly thinner than working yarn for neater, less visible seams.
• 💡Pin all pieces in position before final sewing to ensure proper placement and symmetry.
• 💡For amigurumi, work tightly enough that stuffing doesn't show through stitches.
• 💡Keep a row counter or notepad to track rounds, especially in long even-stitch sections.
