Pumpkin Bag

Perfect for Halloween, Thanksgiving, or just fall!
Make this bag big enough for trick-or-treating, or use it as a decoration. You can fill it with candy and give it to friends, family, or coworkers.


This pumpkin bag is made with a size I crochet hook, medium size yarn, and can be put together in about two hours. Making it was as easy as pumpkin pie.

The original idea for this bag came from the "Repeat Crafter Me" Facebook page, but I made up my own pattern. I began using the same technique used to make beanie hats. Working in rounds:
1. Sc 4 and make a loop

2. Chain 2 (counts as 1 Hdc. Should do this at the beginning of every round.), Hdc 11. Should have 12 Hdc all together for first row.

3. 2 Hdc in each stitch of first row. Should have 24 Hdc all together for second row.

4. 2 Hdc in first stitch, 1 Hdc, 2 Hdc. Repeat all the way around. Should have 36 Hdc all together for third row.

5. 2 Hdc in first stitch, 1 Hdc, 1 Hdc, 2 Hdc. Repeat all the way around. Should have 48 Hdc all together for fourth row.

For the following rows, stop adding stitches. Crochet as tall as desired by repeating rows of 48 Hdc stitches.

When you've reached the desired size, change color to brown, double crochet 5, chain one, double crochet 5. Repeat all the way around. Then do 3 more rows of 48 Hdc stitches in brown.

Make the drawstring out of dark green. Chain drawstring to desired length and hdc one row. If you want to make the ends curly, Hdc, skip 3, and Hdc in 4th stitch.
