Halloween ghost and pumpkin

[yarnlover66]

I know it's a tad bit early, but I like to make little gifts for the ladies in my office on certain holidays. I'm trying to get a jump start this year. First I made the ghost, but he turned out much larger than I expected him to be. An 8 ounce glass fits inside. I try to keep my cost low when I make these little favors and to buy 10 glasses and have to FILL it to the brim with candy for about 10 ladies can get costly. (I considered plastic SOLO cups but they are narrow at the base and don't fill out the ghost)

 

SO, I looked on line and found this little jack o lantern. You lift his lid and you can fill it with candy. It is much smaller. Probably just big enough to fit two snack size candy bars in.

The ladies in your office will love the little jack-o-lantern.

Both the ghost and jack-o-lantern are very cute. I like the way the lid will open up on the jack-o-lantern. It is never to early to crochet for Halloween. :ghost

Ghost pattern: EXCEPT i didn't do the button eyes. I liked the wiggly ones better and I used felt for the mouth. I'd love to make the other 3.
