About this pattern

A friendly sheet ghost left as bare fabric inside a solid blue panel, in the manner of Assisi work. A black line one stitch wide runs round the ghost and closes the panel on all four sides. The ghost has a round head, a sheet that widens toward a hem cut into three hanging points, two tall oval eyes with the blue showing through them and a small smile. The left side mirrors the right exactly. Stitch it on white or ivory fabric: the ghost is the cloth. Full crosses only. It is 30 by 38 stitches and uses two thread colors.

30 stitches wide by 38 high: 668 full cross stitches in 2 DMC colors (Very Dark Baby Blue 312, Black 310).
