Assemble Your Easy Crochet Ghost Beanie!
Sew in all ends, then sew on your eyes each about 10 stitches apart. I prefer sewing but if you don’t, you can also use hot glue add on the eyes. I recommend the glue is hot enough to stick. Next you will sew on or glue on the mouth. I recommend you add the mouth two rows below, between the eyes. Lastly you will want to add the bow. Now your easy crochet ghost beanie is complete!
