The world's friendliest ghost

Theodore is very fond of a particular swedish cartoon ghost and of course I wanted to make one for him. I made it up as I went along and I might have done a couple of things different a second time around, but for all of you who want a ghost of your own - here is how I did it.

I used the magic loop method, but I'm sure dpns will do as well. 

Yarn: Drops Nepal from Garnstudio (about 1.5 50g balls), black and brown scrap yarn for face and details.
Needles: Circular neelde 5 mm/US 8
Övrigt: Filling for the body
