Grab your yarn once again to make the head of the ghost. In a double knot, wrap a piece of yarn that is 7′′ long around the top quarter of the tassel. This creates the ghost's "head." Then, the "neck" will be created by wrapping the yarn's remaining piece around a few times. After double-knotting the yarn, trim any loose ends.
