If you have made any other amigurumi, you should be able to make this. I assume that you know how to increase, decrease, and start using a magic ring.
To make your own monster finger filled with chapstick you will need:

• Crochet hook – Size F
• Worsted weight yarn in three colors. I used Cascade 220 wool for the brown and green, and Caron Acrylic for the red.
• button (optional)
• key ring (optional)

This pattern has 3 parts. The fingernail, the finger, and the bloody severed top portion. I’ll give you the pattern for the fingernail first. If you are clever, you can make it first, and have it ready to sew on as soon as the finger is long enough. I always forget to do this.

Fingernail
The fingernail is worked in brown yarn, and is worked flat.

R1: Chain 5
R2 and R3: Sc into second from the end, Sc 3 more.
R4: Decrease twice. Pull end through.

Finger
Work 5 sc using the magic loop method.
R1: *sc 1, inc1 * repeat once. sc1 (7 sts)
R2: *sc2, inc1* repeat 3 times. sc 1 (10 sts)
R3-14: sc all the way around.

This is a big enough circumference for my standard sized chapsticks. After you are done with the increases, you might want to check to see if yours will fit. If not, sneak in another increase on the next row. Continue in the green color until you are just below the top of the chapstick. For me this was row 14. Change to the red yarn.

Severed top
There will be four loops that make up the severed finger top: one large one to wrap around the button, and three decorative – one of which can be used to attach a keyring.
R15: Sc in red
R16: chain 8, sc into base of chain to create loop (you just made the button loop). *Sc1, chain 3, skip1, sc * repeat 3 times (you just made the 3 decorative loops).

If you haven’t already done so, sew on the fingernail. Make sure to place the fingernail towards the “front” of the finger, which is the side opposite the large loop. I just whip-stitched along the edge with the chapstick in the finger so that I didn’t accidentally sew everything closed.

Use the brown yarn to add a knuckle. You can also use green to make some warts (french knots).

Attach the button to the front of the finger, at the top opposite the largest loop. Thread a keychain loop in one of the decorative loops if you wish. (detail photo of top loops)

Now you are ready to creep people out.

I expect that there may be errors in my pattern, so check back for updates (and let me know if my pattern doesn’t make sense!).

Pattern modifications

• Make a long grey fingernail to make it a witches’ finger!
• The fit of the finger is very snug. you might not even want a closure at the top. I think I like it best without one
• Some of the fingers in the pictures are constructed a little differently. Instead of a button closure, I threaded a crocheted chain through the loops to make a drawstring closure. you might prefer this if you aren’t going to attach the finger to a keychain. Plus it makes more creepy, bloody strings to dangle out of the finger.
• I have been addicted to softlips since high school. It is a more narrow chapstick than the standard size, I found that 7 stitches around was enough.

I practically finished the Wampa and decided to try and make some more fuzzy animals. The Wampa was made with a white eyelash-type yarn called Mustachio (i think..), and the yarn was actually really nice to work with on the recommended size 7 needles. The work went really quickly as well. I wanted the next monster to be more fuzzy so I decided to try the Cascade Yarns “Splash.” Wow. Not so easy.

Now, I know I could have used larger needles and made my life a little easier, but I
didn’t want the finished monster to be any larger, and I wanted the stitches to
be small so that it could be easily stuffed and look like a real stuffed animal.
Increases were practically impossible to see once you got to the next row, so I
kept dropping them. The only thing harder to see than the increases were the
dropped stitches. I knew they were there, but I couldn’t pick them up. I
eventually changed the increase style which stopped me from dropping so may
stitches, but I had to start over about 3 times before i figured this
out.

The hairs on this yarn are much longer and tanglier than the
Mustachio yarn. Often I wouldn’t actually knit into the stitch, but just the
hair of the stitch. That way, the stitch would work itself free once I was long
past that row. I finally have it figured out, but I am not sure all the extra
attention is worth it. It took probably twice as long to make and I don’t think
it is twice as cute.
