About This Mummy Halloween Bag

  • It is an easy pattern, perfect for beginners because it uses only two stitches, chain stitch and single crochet.
  • This small tote bag pattern is crocheted in the round, and the handles are seamlessly worked into the bag.
  • If you like this pattern you might also like to see more free Halloween crochet patterns.
  • This is a free crochet pattern. You can find a printable pattern card at the end of this post.

What Kind Of Yarn To Use

You can use any yarn and weight to make this mummy candy bag.

For the bag you see here, we used #3 light (light worsted, DK, 8py) 100% acrylic yarn.

This yarn weight gave us a smaller bag perfect for a toddler or preschooler.

You can increase the size of this bag by increasing the number of stitches in the foundation chain and evenly increasing the number of rounds in each color section.

Or you could use a heavier yarn weight like a #4 worsted such as Red Heart Super saver, which will work up into a slightly larger bag.

For an even larger bag, you could use chunky yarn, like Bernat Softee chunky, or crochet with two strands of #3 light or #4 worsted yarns.

If you use a heavier yarn weight, you will require more yarn and will need to use a larger crochet hook.

About The Eyes

We added our simple crochet eyes pattern for this bag, and have included the instructions in the printable pattern below. 

If you would like more detailed instructions for making the eyes go or crochet eyes pattern page for detailed step-by-step instructions.

You will need to know how to chain stitch, single crochet and slip stitch to make this pattern.
