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

The Pumpkin Buddy uses 1 skein each Big Twist Petite yarn (100% acrylic, 1.41 oz/40 g, 87 yd/80 m) in Black (CA) and Orange Bright (CB), or approximately 1 yd (1 m) in CA, 20 yd (18.5 m) in CB, and 10 yd (9 m) in CC 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.
