Free Ghost Knitting Patterns

Booooooo! Halloween is one of the craftiest holidays that I know, which means it's time to break out the knitting needles! I love to create knit Halloween decorations since throwing themed Halloween parties is a specialty of mine.
What kinds of knit ghosts can you use for your spooky decor? You can make knit ghost toys, dishcloths or wall hangings. In this lens, you will also find ghost knitting patterns that will allow you to decorate your apparel with tiny little ghosts.

This pattern search was previously published on Sqiudoo, however with the migration of Sqiudoo to Hubpages at the end of 2014 some of the pattern searches don't work for Hubpages's model.  I have reposted the former lens/hub here.  All the research finding the free knitting patterns is my own and I wrote all of the descriptions of the patterns unless otherwise noted.  Please let me know if any of the links are broken, I am working on migrating multiple pattern searches over here at once.
