Designer Crochet with Kyra · Made by Mariah

This is a modified version of Kyra’s border collie pattern, transformed into a sweet ghostly pup by adding a flowing ghost sheet over the body and a tiny pumpkin for an extra seasonal touch. The result is an incredibly cute Halloween-themed make that blends cozy and spooky in the best way.
The Story
I made this piece while participating in a Get Stitchin’ event hosted by Audball Crochet, where smaller designers are featured and you’re encouraged to crochet as many of their patterns as you’d like throughout the month. It was such a fun experience to be part of! I loved turning this little border collie into a ghost and adding the tiny pumpkin for a little extra Halloween fun.
CHNKY Note
I was newly pregnant and dealing with a lot of nausea when I made this, and unfortunately that feeling became associated with this project. Now whenever I look at it, I still feel a little queasy! I’m really hoping that association fades with time because I absolutely love how this turned out.
