Border for the Squares

I did not add a border to my squares. However, if you want to add borders, follow these instructions: Make 2 sc in each square along the sides and in each corner square make (2 sc, ch 2, 2 sc).

Assembling the Halloween Crochet Bag Pattern

Place the skull and ghost squares back to back with the “right sides” facing out. Using white yarn, sew three sides together, leaving the top open.

Adding the Strap to the Halloween Crochet Bag Pattern

Start the strap by working into the 6 center stitches on one side of the bag. Crochet the strap in rows, then attach it to the 6 center stitches on the opposite side.

Row 1: Ch 1, sc in 6 stitches, turn (6 stitches)

Rows 2-125: Ch 1, sc in each st, turn (6 stitches)

Fasten off and sew to the 6 center stitches on the opposite side.

Finishing the Halloween Crochet Bag Pattern

Fasten off and then weave in your ends.
