Ghost Cat Crochet Pattern (Free Charts)

Half cat, half sheet ghost — a 30-stitch Halloween chart that's all treats, no tricks.

The ghost cat is the Halloween motif that broke the cute meter: a sheet ghost with pointy cat ears, wide eyes, and pink cheeks. This chart keeps it to 30 × 34 stitches and five colors, so you get the full effect without a single confetti stitch. Work it as a pillow front, a wall hanging, or the centerpiece of a Halloween blanket.

Two colorways below: classic sheet-ghost white and blush pink. Same chart, same 1,020 stitches, different mood.

The original. A lavender-grey outline keeps the white body readable on any background — the trick every sheet-ghost chart needs.

How to crochet it

  1. Gather your materials

    Worsted weight (#4) yarn in 5 colors, a 5.0 mm (H/8) hook, a tapestry needle, and scissors. You need about 65 yards total — a stash-buster: white (or pink) for the body, a lavender-grey scrap for the outline, and black and pink scraps for the face.

  2. Check the finished size

    In single crochet at a typical 16 sc × 18 rows = 10 cm gauge, the 30 × 34 chart gives a panel of about 19 × 19 cm — pillow-front size. Worked as C2C with the same yarn, this ghost cat crochet pattern comes out about 38 × 43 cm, big enough for a statement pillow.

  3. Work the chart from the bottom up

    One square = one single crochet, starting at the drippy hem so the cat ears finish the piece. Odd rows are the right side (read right to left), even rows the wrong side (read left to right). For C2C, work diagonally from the bottom-right corner — the same chart works for both.

  4. Change colors cleanly

    Finish the last stitch of the old color with the new one, and drop the yarn instead of carrying it more than 3–4 stitches. The face is the only detail work in this Halloween cat crochet chart — two 3-stitch eye blocks, a tiny nose, and blush cheeks — so small bobbins earn their keep here.

  5. Add a border and finish

    Work one round of single crochet in the lavender-grey outline color around the panel, with 3 sc in each corner, then weave in the ends with the tapestry needle. A light steam block squares everything up before sewing.

  6. Turn it into a finished piece

    At 30 stitches wide this works up fast — most crocheters finish in a weekend, well before October 31. Sew the panel onto a tote, frame it as wall art, or join it with the pumpkin and bat charts for a full Halloween wall.

Frequently asked questions

Is the ghost cat pattern beginner-friendly?

Yes — 30 × 34 stitches with big connected areas and no single-stitch islands. The face features are the only small color changes, and they're 2–3 stitches each. If you can single crochet and change colors, you can finish this in a weekend.

Can I work the ghost cat in C2C?

Yes — each cell becomes one C2C block worked diagonally. In C2C with worsted yarn it comes out about 38 × 43 cm, a great statement pillow or the center panel of a Halloween throw.

What yarn should I use for the white ghost?

Any worsted white plus a scrap of lavender-grey for the outline — the outline is what makes the white body visible against a light background, so don't skip it. Black and pink scraps cover the face.

Is this ghost cat chart free?

Yes, free for personal use in both colorways. It's an original pixel design made for this site.

Can I make a ghost version of my own cat?

Yes — upload a clear photo of your cat to the pattern generator, crop to the head, and set 5–6 colors. Give the result a white sheet-ghost palette and your cat becomes the ghost.
