My latest crochet project is this Candy Corn Bag. Some of you might notice that the orange and yellow colors aren’t in the correct order. I was originally planning to make a Jack-o-Lantern bag but ran out of the orange yarn I was using so I decided to turn it into a Candy Corn Bag. I’m really happy with how it turned out! The pattern is easy to follow and it’s fairly quick. Just add some Halloween candy and toys and you have the perfect Halloween gift for a kid. And the best part is that they can reuse the bag to go trick-or-treating!
Materials
– K 6.5mm crochet hook (I love these Clover hooks!)
– tapestry needle
– stitch markers
– worsted weight yarn in white, orange and yellow
Finished Size
9 inches tall and “base” diameter is about 9 inches
Gauge
14 dc and 9 rows= 4 inches
Notes
-you are crocheting in the round
-bag is worked from the bottom up
-the ch at the beginning of each round never counts as your first stitch
