He’s the ghost with the most. Did everyone else love this movie as much as I did? And the cartoon? Sometimes I sing Day-O out of nowhere. People might think I’m a bit nuts.
You can’t really tell from this picture, but I gave him glow in the dark teeth. At night he is spooky, but awesome.
If it is your first time visiting my site, join my mailing list for exclusive content, like Chucky. Also, make sure to look around and check out the other patterns. Many haven’t been tested, so let me know if there are problems. There are several other mini-monsters: Freddy, Samara, Jason, Twisty, and Billy.
Now, “Let’s turn on the juice and see what shakes loose.”
Use #drunkenauntwendy if you make him. I would love to see your work.

Gauge – Gauge is not important for this project, but if you are making it from the kit, you should use the right size needle to ensure you don’t run out of yarn.
Notes:
Parentheses indicate a repeat. Repeat the stitches in the parentheses for the number of times indicated.
The bracketed number [] is the number of stitches at the end of each row.
I spread my increases out so there isn’t a seam on the finished piece. If you do not like this method, you can do regular increases.
Crochet section is worked in partly in the round. Use a stitch marker or a scrap piece of yarn to mark the beginning of each row. Then you don’t have to count every row. Do not join unless instructed to.
