Materials Needed for Spooky Spiral Halloween Garland with Hanging Ghosts Amigurumi Pattern

Assembly Instructions

• Attach head of each ghost to the hanging cord by threading the cord through the top magic ring area before fully closing; knot or sew the top with the round 27 long tail to secure; space ghosts evenly along cord then anchor each in place with a small knot and a couple of whip stitches
• Insert the cord core into the spiral tube (if not already used) and push it up so the top cone (Rounds 102-105 of the tube) covers the cord knot; sew cone closed around the cord with the long tail for a neat finish
• Form the spiral by gently twisting the tube around the cord core. If needed, insert a thin floral wire inside the central cord or use piping to hold a more rigid corkscrew shape and secure wire ends safely inside the top cone
• Pin the spiral into the desired corkscrew shape while you add the ghosts so spacing lines up; sew the topmost ghost to the inside of the tube at one discreet spot if needed to prevent slipping
• Secure long color-change tails by weaving them into the tube interior; remove any visible floats and tack them with small stitches to the inside of the tube
• Add the hanging loop by creating a 12-ch loop attached to top cone rounds with 6 sl st to secure, then weave in ends and trim
• Check all safety eye backs and embroidery stitches to ensure they are secure; weave in any remaining tails so nothing catches or frays
• Optionally add a small bead or weight at the bottom of the cord and hide it inside the final cone to add a bit of weight so the garland hangs straighter

Important Notes

• 💡Use stitch markers consistently at the beginning of each round to avoid counting errors and maintain proper shaping
• 💡Stuff sections of the spiral tube lightly and evenly as you work rather than waiting until the end to avoid lumps or awkward bunching
• 💡For safety eyes, position and secure before stuffing the ghost head fully; they cannot be repositioned easily once the back is locked
• 💡Maintain consistent tension throughout the project; too tight makes very firm pieces that resist shaping, too loose will cause holes and show stuffing
• 💡When sewing pieces together, use a darning needle and yarn slightly thinner than working yarn for neater, less visible seams
• 💡Pin all pieces in position before final sewing to ensure symmetry and correct spacing along the spiral
• 💡If the spiral droops, insert a thin wire inside the cord core and form the spiral around the wire for structure, then hide the wire ends inside the cone
• 💡Weave in all end tails at least 5 cm inside the work and trim close to fabric for a finished look
