Crochet Trick-or-Treat Bag Pattern – Frankenstein, Mummy, Vampire (PDF Download)

Three monsters. Two sizes. One very full candy haul. 🎃

This pattern collection includes complete instructions for three Halloween bag variations — Frankenstein, Mummy, and Vampire — each available in a full-sized Trick-or-Treat Bag (~8" tall) and a smaller Treat Bag (~6" tall). All three share the same sturdy base and body construction, so once you've crocheted one, the rest work up quickly.
These bags are made to last. The firm crocheted base means they stand on their own, the structured walls hold their shape under a full night of candy, and they're machine washable when Halloween is over.

★ PATTERN UPDATE — March 2026
This pattern has been revised for improved clarity and accuracy. The Mummy variation features a completely redesigned bandage method — now worked as a single continuous wrap strip for a faster, more realistic finish. Additional updates include simplified Mummy eye circle construction, an upgraded braided strap for the full-size bag, and stitch count corrections throughout. If you purchased this pattern before March 2026, re-download your file for the latest version.
