Spooky Halloween monsters keychain pattern

Have you started preparations for Halloween weekend?- Do you love monsters?  – here is my suggestion for you.

Meet our pocket monsters which are a great way to decorate your trick or treat bags, school bags of your children. They are cute instead of scarry and will cheer up your kid. Here in Bulgaria we don’t celebrate Halloween and I am little confused what can I make for this scarry, spooky weekend. I have made this pocket monster last year as keychains but never had the chance to post and share them with you( I guess everything has its own time). Scrolling in my instagram or Facebook I see so many cute and different stuff that crafters around the world make each year as costumes, home decoration, toys and etc, i just wanted to have my salt in the soup as others. Suddenly I saw my pocket monster starring at me from my finished but waiting for pattern project box and thought that the day had come.

You can use different yarn and color combinations to make them. Change the face expression and you will have totally new buddy to carry around. This pocket monsters can be used as keychains and they are big enough so your keys will never be lost again.If you want an ad free pdf file you can purchase is right here for unexpensive price..

Last year I have made Frankenstein and Witch photo frames i which you can save the picture from Halloween in fancy and funny way. You can check the patterns here.   The witch pattern is paid and you can find it in our Etsy shop as an inexpensive add-free pdf- just click on the picture.
