Trick or Treat Ghost Sweatshirt: Embroidered Ghost Hugging a Black Cat with a Pumpkin Pail

This trick or treat ghost sweatshirt shows a little sheet ghost with round black eyes hugging a black cat to its chest, its orange jack-o’-lantern pail swinging from the other hand, while bats, a crescent moon and tiny stars float around them. It is a ready-made design you can place on the left chest or centered on the chest: choose the color, size and placement, add a name or icon on the sleeve if you like, and we stitch it to order. Every stitch is 100% real embroidery, stitched into the fabric rather than printed.

What is on the trick or treat ghost sweatshirt?

The trick or treat ghost sweatshirt has 2 parts:

• The ghost and its cat: on the left chest or centered on the chest, your choice. The ghost is stitched in white with soft gray folds and a thin black outline, the black cat drapes over its arms with its tail hanging down, and the orange pail has a carved black smile. Black bats, a crescent moon and four-point stars sit around them.
• The sleeve (optional): a name, initials or short word and an icon from the font and icon chart, in the font and thread color you choose, on the left or right sleeve.

Where does the ghost go on the sweatshirt?

The ghost goes on the left chest, as on the Military Green photos, or centered on the chest just below the collar, as on most of the other color photos. Both placements use the same design at the same size and the same price; pick one in the Embroidery Placement option. Left chest is preselected because it is the original design.

Which color should you choose?

Pick a color in the options above and the photos switch to it, so you can see the design on that color before you order.

The white ghost stands out most on mid-tone and deep colors, where the sheet has a sharp edge and the orange pail adds one bright pop of Halloween color. On light colors the white sheet looks softer, so the black outline, the black cat and the bats carry the design. On the darkest colors the bats, the moon and the stars blend into the fabric, while the ghost, its cat and the pail stay bold.

How do you order your sweatshirt?

To order your sweatshirt, follow 5 steps:

• Choose the sweatshirt color and size in the options above.
• Choose left chest or center chest for the ghost.
• Choose whether to add sleeve embroidery.
• If you add it, type the name or initials, then pick the icon, font, thread color and sleeve.
• Add it to your cart; we email a free design proof before we stitch.

How do you add a name or icon on the sleeve?

Sleeve embroidery is optional and goes on one sleeve. Type a short name or your initials, such as your cat’s name, and pick an icon, a font and a thread color from the charts in the photos, or leave the icon off. White thread is preselected because it reads best on the dark sweatshirts; pick Black or another dark thread for the light colors.

Is it a ghost cat trick or treat sweatshirt for Halloween?

Yes. A ghost carrying a pumpkin pail and its black cat makes it a ghost cat trick or treat sweatshirt for Halloween parties, pumpkin patch trips and handing out candy at the door. The look is cute rather than scary, and the soft fleece pairs with jeans or leggings from late September through November.

Is it an embroidered ghost sweatshirt you can wear past Halloween?

Yes. The small design keeps it low-key, on the left chest or centered just below the collar, so this embroidered ghost sweatshirt works for a cozy fall weekend as well as October 31. The sweatshirt has a unisex fit; women who like a looser look often size up one size.

Is it a cute ghost sweatshirt for a black cat lover?

Yes. It is a cute ghost sweatshirt for anyone who has adopted a black cat, a cat mom or cat dad who loves spooky season, or a friend who decorates for Halloween in September, and it makes an easy birthday or Halloween gift. Add their cat’s name or initials on the sleeve to make it personal.

Is there a hoodie or T-shirt version?

No. This design comes only on the crewneck sweatshirt, so the color and size options above are all for that sweatshirt.

What happens after you order?

We email you a free digital design proof, and you can ask for unlimited edits. Once you approve it, we embroider your sweatshirt to order and ship it from the USA; the estimated delivery date is shown on this page. For Halloween, a birthday or a holiday, order at least two weeks ahead.

Which size should you choose?

Each piece is made to order, so it is not eligible for size exchanges. Open the size guide on this page and compare the measurements with a top you already own before you order; we suggest sizing up if you are between sizes.

How should you wash an embroidered sweatshirt?

To keep the embroidery bright and flat, follow 4 steps:

• Turn the sweatshirt inside out before washing.
• Wash it cold on a gentle cycle.
• Tumble dry low or hang it to dry.
• Iron on the reverse side, never directly on the embroidery.

Frequently asked questions

Is the ghost printed or embroidered?

It is embroidered. The ghost, the black cat, the pumpkin pail, the bats and the sleeve name are stitched in thread, so they have a raised texture you can feel and will not crack or peel like a print.

Can the cat look like my own cat?

This black cat is a ready-made design. To stitch your own cat from a photo, see our embroidered cat sweatshirt.

Are there other ghost and black cat designs?

Yes. The ghost drinking coffee sweatshirt has a ghost hugging a black cat with a steaming pumpkin mug, the ghost cat sweatshirt has three cats in ghost sheets, and more designs are in our Halloween sweatshirts and black cat sweatshirts.
