How to Crochet a Halloween Treat Bag

Halloween is my favorite holiday to make cute and ‘spooky’ crochet projects for the kiddos! This year, I crocheted some small treat bags to fill with candy.

I made a similar treat bag last year for Christmas – a reindeer treat bag. You can find that pattern here.

These Frankenstein and candy corn treat bags are much more simple and don’t take long to make! I think these would be perfect to make multiples of to give to friends and classmates. Fill them with candy, stickers, or small toys.

I bet you can come up with many more variations as well using the treat bag pattern. A pumpkin, ghost, scarecrow, black cat, etc. That’s the best part about crochet, you can get imaginative and creative!

If you are a visual learner, I made a video tutorial for the reindeer treat bag I made a few years ago which has the same ‘base’/bag as these Halloween treat bags. You can view that here along with it’s written pattern.
