Materials Needed for Pastel Purple Spiral Halloween Garland with Baby Phantoms and Pumpkins Amigurumi Pattern

Assembly Instructions

• Attach head of each ghost to a small loop placed inside the top center of the scalloped edge. Sew through the top round (between rounds 8-12) securing loop firmly with invisible stitches. Position ghosts to face outward and tie off with hidden knots.
• Attach pumpkins to the spiral using the sewn-in hanging loop: place loop around one spiral coil (or stitch loop to the tube at chosen round). For a neat look, position pumpkin loops so pumpkins hang from the outer edge of the spiral, sewing through a couple stitches of the spiral using a yarn needle through the loop tail to secure.
• Arrange ornaments evenly: mark approx rounds 10, 22, 34, 46, 58 along the tube for 5 ornaments (sample uses 6 ornaments including top loop). Pin ornaments in place, step back and adjust spacing before final sewing.
• Sew arms of ghosts onto side of body between rounds 9-12, matching left and right sides. Use small blind stitches and weave tail into body to hide ends.
• To finish the top, fold the tube top, insert the hanging loop or chain, then whip stitch the top closed burying the loop tail in the tube so it is secure and tidy.
• After all pieces are sewn, shape spiral by bending the wire core into even coils. Tuck and hide all tail ends inside the spiral or inside ornaments. Trim any visible threads and apply a tiny dab of glue to secure stubborn knots (optional).
• If using surface embroidery for facial details, do that last so stitches are not hidden during attachment. Test placement on a scrap first.
• Test the finished garland for balance by holding from hanging loop; if it tilts, move one or two ornaments slightly to counterbalance.

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.

This pastel spiral garland is a delightful mix of structure and whimsy — a cheerful Halloween accent with kawaii ghosts and pumpkins. Each tiny amigurumi is packed with personality, and the coiled purple tube gives a unique, eye-catching silhouette. I hope you enjoy assembling and arranging the characters as much as I did designing them — every stitch brings the garland to life! 🎃👻🧶
