Oh my, so ghoulishly glamorous and fiendishly fashionable, long and lanky Espirita is gorgeous and Goth in a spooky kind of way! She’s about 22 inches long and very poseable, with a wired neck, loosey goosey legs, and jointed arms. She’s a very fun doll, for Halloween or just because she’s so fun to make and own.

Espirita is crocheted from DK weight yarn with a size E (3.5mm) crochet hook.

There are 30 pages of very detailed instructions and photos in the “Espirita” crochet pattern.
