The Ghost Buddy is one of four crochet Halloween keychain patterns (which can also be used as bag charms). This set was originally released in 3 parts as the fourteenth Weekend Mystery Crochet Along with Underground Crafter.

Finished Size
1.5” (4 cm) diameter after stuffing.

Materials for Halloween Character Buddies
Big Twist Petite yarn (100% acrylic, 1.41 oz/40 g, 87 yd/80 m) – 1 skein each in Black (CA), Orange Bright (CB), Slime (CC), and Ivory (CD), or approximately 87 yd (80 m) each in black/dark gray, orange, green, and white/off-white in any medium weight yarn.

US Size E-4/3.5 mm crochet hook, or any size needed to obtain correct gauge.

Locking stitch markers.

Yarn needle.

Fiber filling.

Safety eyes – 4 pairs. I used 3 pairs of 6mm black round eyes and 1 pair of 12mm green cat safety eyes.

Keyring with lobster clasp – 4 sets (similar in style to these).

The Ghost Buddy uses 1 skein each Big Twist Petite yarn (100% acrylic, 1.41 oz/40 g, 87 yd/80 m) in Black (CA) and Ivory (CD), or approximately 1 yd (1 m) in CA and 30 yd (27.5 m) in CD in any medium weight yarn and 1 pair of 6 mm black safety eyes.

Gauge
Exact gauge is not critical for this pattern. Stitches should be small so fiber filling doesn’t show.
