Dear Resident, schools, and organizations!

As 2012 nears to an end, the Holiday Season at Harbor Village is just getting started. In the spirit of giving we are very excited to announce another year of partnering with local non-profits, charities and schools in our coast side community by offering 10% of sales of all Pumpkin and Christmas trees made to the local coastside organization of your choice. Simply select the charity when you purchase your Pumpkin or Christmas Tree at Harbor Village and we will keep you posted on the amount of money raised. Last year we brought in over $2,400 for local organizations through the Halloween and Christmas Season and we hope to surpass that amount this year.

We invite you to come out to Harbor Village and check out some of the many events taking place over the next few months.

How to Crochet Halloween Treat Bags

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.
