Halloween Car Charm - Hand-Crocheted Ghost

Here's a tiny crocheted ghost to hang from your rear-view mirror, with a pair of pumpkins sharing the same cord. It's made by hand from yarn, one stitch at a time, which gives it the soft, slightly uneven edges that a molded plastic ornament can't match. Each piece weighs 28 grams. It dangles, sways gently when you go around a bend, and stays completely silent.

There are three styles, and that's deliberate. Cute Ghost is the simple one, with two pumpkins. Broom Ghost perches on a broom beneath a black hat. Witch Hat Ghost sports a purple pointed hat. You get three moods and one easy choice, without scrolling through a pile of nearly identical ghosts.

Its braided loop of cord goes over the mirror stem in a few seconds, so you don't have to clip, screw, or stick anything. Made only of yarn and stuffing, with no hard parts, it won't bang against the windshield. Once October is over, keep it in a drawer until next autumn, or turn it into a bag strap, a backpack charm, or a key ring.

It's compact. To show the scale, we added photos with a hand in the frame, because nobody enjoys finding out their car charm is as big as a grapefruit. This one sits comfortably in the palm of your hand.
