How to Make a Crochet Halloween Candy Bag
Creating a crochet Halloween candy bag is a fun and simple project that even beginners can enjoy. This bag is shaped like a classic Halloween pumpkin and includes a handle for easy carrying.
Start with orange yarn. Ch 4, join with a sl st to form a ring.
Round 1: Ch 1, 10 sc in the ring, join with a sl st.
Round 2: Ch 1, 2 sc in each stitch around, join with a sl st (20 sts).
Round 3: Ch 1, 1 sc in next st, 2 sc in next st repeat around, join with a sl st (30 sts).
Continue increasing in this pattern until the base measures about 8 inches in diameter.
Body of the Bag:
Round 1: Ch 1, sc in each stitch around, join with a sl st.
Repeat this round until the bag measures 8 inches in height.
For a pumpkin ribbing effect, alternate rounds of sc and hdc in the back loops only.
Pumpkin Face Details:
Using black yarn, crochet two triangle shapes for the eyes and a larger triangle for the nose.
For the mouth, ch 20, and work back and forth with dc to create a zigzag pattern. Attach these pieces to the front of the bag using a tapestry needle.
Bag Handles:
Ch 50, sc in each chain across. Attach each end to opposite sides of the bag’s top edge.
Top Edging:
With green yarn, join to the top edge of the bag and work a round of sc around to create the “leafy” finish. You can add a few dc clusters for a more pronounced leaf effect.
Finishing Touches:
Weave in all ends with a tapestry needle. Ensure all face pieces are securely attached.
Your crochet Halloween candy bag is now ready for trick-or-treating! This festive and functional accessory will be the hit of any Halloween gathering.
