If you’re an Animal Crossing fan like me, the NPC characters truly make the game great. One of my favorite characters is Wisp, the frightened ghost that appears periodically after the sun goes down on your island. Although he might not give the best gifts, I still enjoy scouring my island for the lost pieces of his spirit. I probably like helping him because he is just so cute! I knew the first time that I met Wisp, I wanted to make make a little crochet version of him.
The great thing about Wisp is he is a simple round shape which makes for a great beginner crochet pattern. I hope you enjoy this pattern and please feel free to tag me on social media so I can see your creation! If you are more of a visual learner, I have a video tutorial of this pattern at the bottom of this page.

- Magic ring– Make a loop, leaving a long tail to work with. Insert hook in center of loop, yarn over and draw up a loop. Yarn over, pull through to make the first chain (this does not count as a stitch). Continue to crochet over the loop and tail with the number of stitches called for.
