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

If your family is the sort to do a turkey trot for Thanksgiving, or even just to take family pictures, you’ll want to get started knitting up some Turkey Sack Hats with this pattern from Underground Crafter.

The pattern uses super bulky yarn and is rated easy. It’s knit flat but there are a few skills in here around the shaping of the eyes, which includes changing colors, working bobbles and doing a wicked purl 3 together decrease. Twice.

But that’s all in one row, and the rest of it is pretty simple. The beak is worked separately and sewn on, and the side of the hat is stitched up to make it into a hat.

What’s great about this one is that it comes in 10 sizes, ranging from newborn to adult large, so you really can make one for everyone in the family. And because it uses super bulky yarn you can knit a bunch pretty quickly if that’s a thing you’d like to do.

It’s also fun because you could use this base pattern to make different animals or for different holidays. Make it all in orange and stitch on a jack o’lantern face for Halloween, or make a white one that’s a snowman, for example.

In any style this would also be a fun gag gift for that person in your life who has everything or doesn’t want gifts, or if you do a secret Santa or white elephant gift exchange at work or elsewhere.

And make sure whether you’re making it a turkey or some other character that you include the pom poms at the top! They’re just so cure and a great way to add a bit more color to the project, and they’re easy to make. (See also: ways to make a pompom with yarn.)

You can grab the free pattern at the Underground Crafter website.
