Halloween charts

I've always wanted to produce charts to go with my patterns because I find they help me understand instructions better. So here are the charts for the Halloween themed fridgies I posted last time. Oh and please note I lost a few stitches while typing up the witch pattern. I've corrected that. sorry.
