Ghostface Pattern

Mar 11

Written By K M

Introducing, Crochet Ghostface!

If you’re a fan of horror like me, you’ll LOVE making this crochet Ghostface plush!

I recently got a Cricut cutting machine, and I found myself wondering how I can tie it into crocheting. I has already begun making felt eyes—which I started selling—but I wanted something unique that would really take my work to the next level. I sat down to watch Scream, and it hit me— I can make super detailed appliques for the faces! So that’s what I did; I came up with the pattern for the plushie, and used the Cricut to cut the mask pieces out, and I couldn’t be more happy with how it turned out.

Today I’m so excited to be sharing this pattern for Ghostface with you! This pattern is for the plushie only; cutting machine files for the face will be included for free at the end, but if you don’t own a cutting machine you may have to get a little crafty with some felt and scissors.

You can read all about my love for horror and the yarn I used, or you can scroll down past this where you’ll find the free pattern!

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

About Fan Art (& My Horror Love)

I enjoy making and appreciate the craft of fan art. What is fan art? It’s art created by a fan of, and featuring characters from, a particular TV series or movie. For me, my fan art takes the form of crocheted plushies. Fan art is what got me back into crocheting after a long hiatus and occasional burnout over the years. I love being able to create my favorite movie characters, and use them as decoration.

With that said, I also strongly value the copyright of the licensed characters I make fan art of. It is very important to recognize that this pattern and the finished products that result from it are not to be used as sellable merchandise or to gain profit. This pattern is shared so that others may use it for personal use only, such as decoration or gift-giving.

Unlike my other patterns, the fan art I share will never have a printable PDF option, free or paid.

Ghostface is a character from the Scream franchise, and is owned by Fun World and Paramount. I in no way have any rights to this character. This piece is strictly fan art and is my interpretation of this character in crochet form. My work is unofficial and has no connection to the original creators in any way. If you are the copyright holder of this character and would prefer that this fan art piece be removed, please contact me directly at stitchesofspruce@gmail.com.

Difficulty

Intermediate; this pattern requires prior knowledge of the basics of amigurumi. This pattern requires skills such as making a magic ring, working in the round, and typical pattern increasing & decreasing throughout the design.

Gauge

Gauge is not essential to this project. Though, it is important enough that you use tight enough tension and the right hook size to ensure that the stuffing doesn’t show through the project.

Finished Measurements

Using a 7mm hook, the finished plushie measures 17 inches from head to toe. If you would like a smaller sized version, you will need to use smaller weight yarn with a smaller hook size.

Design Notes

This pattern is written using US crochet terminology.
This pattern is written using both rounds and rows, It is important that you read the beginning of each section carefully to ensure that you’re working in the correct form. The portions of the pattern written in rows will be noted.
At the end of each row/round, the number of stitches for completion will be noted in parenthesis.
Further design notes will be provided throughout the pattern to aid in construction.

Let’s Make Ghostface!

For this pattern, we will be making the body first, then the clothes, then finishing touches last.

You can either hot glue the belt down or use more black yarn to secure it in place around the body, if you wish.

Face: (with Black Felt)

As stated in the description, this pattern uses felt to make the mask features. I’ll include attachments of a PNG and SVG file below, so make it easier to cut out the felt pieces. These files are 100% free, and should only be used for personal use within this pattern.

Here is the printable PDF file, for those that find it easier to print and cut out the felt pieces by hand.

Here is the SVG file, for those that have a cutting machine compatible with stiffened felt.

The following are the dimensions for the pieces I used for my plushie:

Eyes: W 1.84in x H 2.8in
Nose: W 1.25in x H 0.98in
Mouth: W 1.75in x H 3.62in

Once you’ve cut them, you just need to hot glue them to the face. I used sewing pins to position mine on the face before gluing.
