Happy Ghost PATTERN

Hello, finally I finish the tutorial for the Happy Ghost. Better late than ever :) Tutorial is on my YouTube in two parts (I had to divide it because of the size). You see that the ghost is holding the Sleepy Moon - currently I'm working on the moon tutorial and pattern (it will be ready soon). The Happy Ghost could be great gift for children at any occasion ;)

Subscribe my channel and blog and thank you for the thumbs up! :)
