Count down to Halloween with Gus the Ghost. Gus starts up in the attic on October 1st, then makes his way down the house. When he gets to the front door on Halloween, it’s time to go Trick or Treating! This finished countdown measures approximately 20½ inches wide by 35½ inches long.

Be sure you read through all of the instructions before you begin. This pattern is written by me, a left-handed person, but can be easily made by a right-handed person as well. The photos will be backwards for right-handed people, but it shouldn’t be a problem if you just remember that you’re working in the opposite direction.

Materials needed:
Any worsted weight yarn. I used Red Heart Super Saver. I used 2 skeins of the purple for the front of the calendar, 1 skein of each other color.
The colors I used were:
• Medium Purple
• Charcoal
• Dusty Grey
• Lemon
• White
• Carrot
• Medium Thyme
J (6mm) crochet hook (for the graphs)
G (4mm) crochet hook (for the appliques and ghost)
Poly-fil
Yarn needle
10 mm safety eyes
½ inch wooden dowel
Foam numbers or foam sheets to cut numbers out of

This is a graphgan made using a modified bobble stitch. If you’ve never made a graphgan before, I give instructions with photographs in the pattern. Knowledge of graphgans and the bobble stitch are beneficial before starting this pattern.
