Ghost

Ghost charted as clean filet blocks that read clearly on the grid, a 28 by 28 motif made for seasonal throws, festive runners, and holiday gifts. Open it in the editor to resize the grid, frame it with open mesh, or repeat it into a border, then export a PNG or print a numbered chart to crochet from.

Perfect for

Skill level: easy

Comfortable for an advancing beginner. The shaping asks for a little attention, but the chart stays clear and easy to recover from if you lose your place.

Yarn and hook

Size 10 cotton thread on a steel hook makes a fine ghost panel; switch to DK or worsted cotton with a 3.5–4 mm hook and it grows into a soft, blanket-weight piece. A solid, light colour shows the mesh best; high-contrast yarns make the design pop in photos and in the finished fabric.

Project ideas

Reach for the ghost when you want a seasonal gathering. It looks at home on a seasonal throw and a festive table runner alike. Crop or enlarge it in the editor so it fits your project exactly.

Who it's for

Stitched for a host, the ghost suits a seasonal gathering beautifully. Frame it with a border to give a plain gift a finished, considered look.

Size, printing, and scaling

Worked at 4 mesh per inch the 7.0-by-7.0-inch result is a guide only — your thread and hook set the true size, so swatch before you start. Send the chart straight to print for a clean numbered grid, or resize and re-crop it in the editor first and export a PDF, PNG, or CSV.

Ghost filet crochet pattern — FAQ

Can a beginner crochet the ghost pattern?
It is. The ghost keeps to simple shaping, so a confident beginner who can manage a double crochet and a chain will get on well with it.
What yarn works best for this ghost chart?
Use a smooth, non-fuzzy cotton in one clear colour. Thread weight controls the size — fine for a doily scale, worsted for a throw — without changing how you follow the chart.
Can I resize the ghost chart?
It resizes cleanly — adjust the grid in the editor, crop, or repeat it. The ON/OFF cell model means the ghost stays crochet-ready at any size.
Can I print the ghost pattern or save it as a PDF?
You can. A numbered, printer-friendly chart is one click away, and PDF, PNG, and data exports are all available free from the editor.
How many stitches is the ghost pattern?
The chart is 28 by 28 squares — 784 mesh in total, about 116 of them filled. At 4 mesh per inch that finishes roughly 7.0 by 7.0 inches.
