What Kind Of Yarn To Use

You can use any yarn and weight to make this crochet trick or treat bag pattern

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.

Crochet Stitches

You will need to know a few basic crochet stitches like chain stitch, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, treble crochet and slip stitch to make this Halloween candy bag.. Find out more about these stitches below.

Double Crochet Stitch (dc)

1. Yarn over hook (YO), insert the hook from the front to the back of a stitch.
2. Yarn over hook (YO) again and pull back up through the stitch. You will have three loops on the hook.
3. Yarn over hook (YO) pull the yarn back through two loops on the hook. You will now have two loops on the hook.
4. Yarn over hook (YO) pull the yarn back through the two loops on the hook.
5. This completes a double crochet stitch.

Treble Crochet (or Triple Crochet) (tr)

1. Wrap the yarn over the hook (YO) twice, and insert the hook from the front to the back of a stitch.
2. Yarn over hook (YO) again and pull back up through the stitch. You will have four loops on the hook.
3. Yarn over hook (YO) pull the yarn back through two loops on the hook. You will now have three loops on the hook.
4. Yarn over hook (YO) pull the yarn back through two loops on the hook. You will now have two loops on the hook.
5. Yarn over hook (YO) pull the yarn back through the two loops on the hook. 
6. This completes a treble crochet stitch.
