From a gold swivel clasp hangs a cluster of two miniature crochet ghosts, white pearls, and a small orange bead. This free ghost and pearl bag charm crochet pattern pairs embroidered black eyes and soft pink cheeks with hollow, scalloped ghost shapes. A curled ivory ribbon and a bell-shaped crochet pendant add contrasting textures, while the linked gold chain lets the little pieces dangle at different heights from a purse or tote.

Shaping the Hanging Details
Each ghost starts at its rounded crown and finishes with an open, wavy lower edge rather than a stuffed base. Small side arms are added separately, and the eye details are stitched onto the front. The orange bead is lightly stuffed, while the white ribbon curls from increases worked along a foundation chain. A pearl hangs beneath the hollow flower at the bottom. Reinforced thread attachments connect the crochet pieces to the metal findings.
