Halloween Treat Bag Knitting Patterns

After looking at little Halloween projects the other day and sharing one cute set of treat bags, I wanted to look for some more Halloween treat bag knitting patterns to share. These are fun to make for a classroom or a small party, or even to give as special gifts if you have a small group of trick or treaters where you live.

Wild Welsh Knitting has a set of three little treat bags including a ghost, a pumpkin and one with stripes that’s meant to be a witch. They call for DK weight yarn and the pumpkin and ghost have felt facial features, which makes them even faster to make.

This set from Tanya Oakley Designs has three different styles of bags and six faces: a mummy, pumpkin, witch, cat, skeleton and Frankenstein’s monster. She use DK weight yarn but you can use heavier yarn to make bigger bags if you like.

These cute little bag by Denny Gold include six motifs and you can put two different ones on each bag or use the same on each side. They include a pumpkin, spider, skeleton, skull, bats and a ghost worked with intarsia and/or stranded knitting. The bags are worked flat and use worsted weight yarn. You can get the pattern on Ravelry.

Candy corn is controversial as a food but it’s definitely a winner in decor. These cute bags from Handy Little Me use candy corn colors to make a flat rectangle that’s folded and seamed into a bag. There are two sizes and they call for super bulky yarn.

In a similar vein are these little treat bags from Lion Brand Yarn worked in stripes with writing stitches on after the knitting is done. The pattern for two sizes of bag is free but you can also buy a kit with the needed worsted weight yarn direct from them.

This set of Halloween goodie bags from Diana Levine Knits is made on a circular knitting machine, which makes them even quicker to make. She used a 46 stitch machine, and an I-cord maker is also handy for the handles. They call for worsted weight yarn.

Adorable Candy Corn Men – Perfect for the mantle or tablescape

This free knitting pattern falls in the category of cute but maybe not essential, as well as a nice way to use some yarn left over from another project.

The Briggs St. Fruit Hammock from Mycah Knits is beginner friendly because it’s a big rectangle worked in stockinette stitch on larger needles than the yarn would usually call for (size 11 US/8 mm for DK weight/weight 3 yarn) to provide more air flow around the fruit.

The idea behind a fruit hammock like this is both that it saves you counter space since it’s meant to be mounted under a cabinet and that air flow around the fruit helps prevent moisture from getting trapped below the fruit, which should keep it fresh longer. They’re also just cute and keep your fruits or veg accessible so hopefully you will eat more of them.

This pattern also includes I-cord handles, which is how you hang the hammock, and you’ll need to be able to pick up stitches for them, but that’s the only beyond beginner skill required in this project.

It only uses about 25 grams of yarn, so this is a perfect project for using a little something left over from another project. It would also be cute with stripes, so you can use odd balls from several projects. Or make the I-cord with a contrasting color to add a bit more fun if you like.

The designer does recommend using acrylic yarn for this project because it shouldn’t stretch out of shape with use and is easy to wash should your aspirations for eating fruit outstrip your reality. But they also provide tips for testing the stretch in a yarn you want to use and adjusting the pattern to account for that.

I don’t have a space in my place for this but it is super cute and a fun way to add knitting to the home, which I’m always a fan of.

You can grab the free pattern on Ravelry.
