💡 Head Shaping Tip

After the ghost body and head are crocheted together:

Use a long length of white yarn.
Insert the needle from the top center of the head, down to base of the head (neck junction).
Pull snugly to slightly indent the top.
Repeat this step 3–4 times around the head to create a gentle dome shape.
Secure and hide yarn tail inside the head.

This creates a defined head shape and gives room for facial expression!
