Size before assembly: about 7.6 cm at the widest, 7.6 cm long; 28 rounds.
→ Insert the safety eyes now (positions: see “Face”) and fix the backs. Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.

Size before assembly: about 3.1 cm at the widest, 1.8 cm long; 6 rounds. Multi-colour rounds are listed stitch by stitch from the round-start marker; keep the round start on the piece's centre front line (as it sits on the finished toy). The order is for right-handed crocheting (right to left on the outside); left-handed: reverse it.
Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff it lightly — a thin layer, just enough to hold the walls apart: the ear about 10.8 mm thick, with thick rounded edges. Then shape it into a spoon: push the front wall toward the back wall — a concave spoon about 2.6 mm deep in front, a rounded back; about 31 mm wide. Keep the opening a curve, hollow side forward, not a straight line.

Size before assembly: about 1.6 cm at the widest, 4.5 cm long; 13 rounds.
Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done. Bend ≈ 70° around round 6. After stuffing, bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces up on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 6, on the centre top line). On the inner side draw rounds 4 and 7 together (3 rounds go into the fold): with the needle and matching yarn make 3–4 stitches through the loops of both rounds over about 3 st, pull to the angle and hide the end inside.

Flat motif — triangle (worked in turned rows, one layer of fabric), about 1.1 × 1.6 cm; 3 rows.
Fasten off leaving a long tail (~30 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff. Weave in the starting tail, pin the motif out to shape on a soft surface and steam it lightly.

Safety eyes and noses go in before the piece is stuffed and closed (see the pieces above); embroidery is easier before the piece is sewn on.

Safety eyes with a printed glint 10–12 mm (on the ghost): in round 19, 7 st apart (count along round 19: about 3.5 st each side of the centre front line).
Embroidery in plum thread (on the ghost), straight stitches through: (in round 17, on the centre front line) → (between rounds 16 and 17, 0.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (in round 16, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (in round 17, 1.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ).
