These small Halloween treat bags are easy to whip up in under an hour and make a cute way to pass out candy to trick-or-treaters. You can make these three different Halloween treat bags from basically the same pattern.
Things You'll Need
-Yarn
-Crochet hook (size 3.75)
Instructions
Step 1: Gather some orange, black and green yarn to make the pumpkin treat bag. These bags measure about four inches wide (15 stitches are 4 inches). Start with the orange yarn and chain 17.
Step 2: Single crochet into each stitch, starting with the stitch closest to the hook, until you reach the end of the chain. Then chain one to turn the piece.
Step 3: Single crochet 15, working into the back loop, until your reach the end of the piece. Then chain one and repeat until you have 12 rows.
Step 4: Finish off. Now you have the front piece of the bag. Repeat the steps again to make another piece to use as the back of the bag.
Step 5: Stitch the two pieces on three sides with the front sides together.
Step 6: Single crochet two rounds with the green yarn for the pumpkin bag. This will make the green pumpkin stem at the top of the bag.
Step 7: Single crochet two rounds with the green yarn for the pumpkin bag. This will make the green pumpkin stem at the top of the bag.
Step 8: Stitch the facial features using the black yarn. For the eyes, you can cross stitch an "X" and then a straight line to make it look like an eye. For the mouth, back stitch a straight line and end it with a 45-degree angle stitch. Alternatively, you can use a piece of felt and craft eyes for facial features.
Tips & Warnings
Stitch the bag together so that the single crochet runs vertically, as it makes a better grid for adding facial features.
