Pac-Man and his ghosts! This started as a project to just crochet Pac-Man. Then this expanded to making the ghosts, then to making the ghosts with movable eyes, and lastly to adding in covers to make the ghosts switch to dark blue. I am most pleased with how the ghosts turned out. Hope you enjoy!

Signing UpStep 1: Making Pac-Man
Pac-Man is really simple. The main body is Yellow and his mouth is Black.
Body: (in Yellow)
To attach the mouth on the body, start at one corner of the black piece and one corner of Pac Man's mouth. I single crocheted around with yellow yarn. If you marked where you stopped increasing and started decreasing you should be able to match up the corners of the black piece easily to the corners of his mouth. To make it easier and make sure the piece attaches evenly, use paperclips to hold the mouth to his body. It will look like he has many lip piercings.
I put in some stuffing when I started to make it easier to grab him and then finished stuffing him before I finished crocheting him up.
Body: (in Yellow)
- Magic Ring 5, ch 1, turn (I tried to do this with just chaining 2 and then crocheting 5 sc. into the second st. from the end, but this caused a big hole to show so I think a magic ring works better because it makes the stitches tighter)

Your instructions are so easy to follow! This is the first crochet design I've been able to work from. Thank you!
Good Luck :)
The movable eyes are such a clever idea!
