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

There’s a lot to like about the Eloise Bandana from Katryn Seeburger. This cute little colorwork triangle can be worked as a bandana or kerchief size or a bigger shawlette.

It’s worked in two colors of fingering weight yarn so you can use whatever yarn you have in your stash and just make it as big as you can (since it is worked from the bottom up).

You can see the two sizes from the photo, and also two colorwork options: strawberries and lily of the valley.

But that’s not all the choices you have. In fact, there are 34 different charts you can choose from to knit onto your project. Some of the options include happy faces, a lobster, a pumpkin, a snail and a butterfly. There are cherries, peaches, tomatoes and radishes.

There’s even a blank square you can use to draw your own little design if you want to use something else. Or keep it blank and make it a plain checkerboard design.

And while both of these shawls use the same icons throughout, you could also use different designs throughout if you want. Say a fall version with a bat, pumpkin, leaf and acorn, or a summer beach theme with sailboat, fish, lobster and a bird? I keep suggesting four different icons because the larger size has four rows of squares, but the smaller has three, so you could do stripes of the same icon or alternate a couple of different ones, whatever you like.

Look through the finished projects on the Ravelry project page to see lots of different options, from rows to individual icons. There are also some projects that are smaller than the suggested size to make a smaller bandana. You could also keep going a make a bigger shawl working increases in the same way as you have been going.

Check out all the details and grab a copy of the pattern on Ravelry.
