Have you made the Candy Corn Headband yet? Well here’s the matching Candy Corn Trick or Treat Drawstring Bag- perfect for taking around the neighbourhood with you this October 31st! I love Candy Corn and it makes me sad it only comes out at Halloween… that is, until now! I can definitely see this being a year-round accessory!

Finally a use for those Halloween coloured scraps! Work this easy pattern up in an evening or weekend. Complete with its own little drawstring, this bag would make a great little accompaniment for any Halloween-loving individual!

Notes:

This pattern is written in UK terms and instructions are given in the round. US terms are given below in the ‘Abbreviations’ section.

You will work in a spiral, similar to amigurumi. This means you will not join the end of each round with the beginning unless explicitly stated.

Abbreviations:

DC = UK double crochet (US = single crochet)

Ch = chain

Ch-sp = Chain space

St = stitch

Sts = stitches

SlSt = slipstich

TC = UK treble crochet (US = double crochet)

You will need:

• 4mm and 3.5mm crochet hook (I use a KnitPro Waves hook which you can get here)
• 25 meters / 28 yards of a yellow DK weight yarn. I used Stylecraft Special DK in Sunshine.
• 18 meters / 20 yards of an orange DK weight yarn. I used Stylecraft Special DK in Jaffa.
• 30 meters / 32 yards of a white DK weight yarn. I used Stylecraft Special DK in White.
• Yarn Needle for those pesky ends! (These with big loops for eyes are my favourite add-on EVER!)
