Crochet Halloween treat bag pattern details

My guide to crochet gauge explains how to measure your stitches and adjust your hook size.

• Each C2C block is made with ch 3 + 3 dc. Ch 6 to begin a new row and ch 3 to begin each new block.
• Follow either the graph or written instructions for each design.
• The written instructions list how many blocks to make in each color.
• Make 2 matching squares for each treat bag.
• Sew the squares together after crocheting the borders. Add the strap last.
