...and here we are with the second character from the Halloween crochet project I've been working on for the past couple of weeks!
Her name is Moony and she's the sweetest ghost around.
Linette and Moony love to fly around and visit kids during the Halloween night. They are anything but scary. So grab your hook and yarn and work with me on this fun project!
