Assembly: Place eyes on the ghost in-between rounds 4 and 5, approximately 3 st apart. Place safety eye backs on before attaching to the bag. Feel free to embroider the eyes or use felt if you wish. Next, using your yarn needle, attach the ghosts to the bag. I chose to make two ghosts for my bag, but you can make as few or as many ghosts as you like.
