So, this year I decided I wanted to do something a little different. Instead of buying a trick-or-treat bag for my toddler son. I decided to crochet him one.
That’s how this Halloween candy corn crochet treat bag came to be.
You see, since he was born nearly 3 years ago, I decided to make him something different each Halloween.

The first year it was a pumpkin costume. Unfortunately, I didn’t write down the pattern so I can’t share it with you. 😢
Last year it was pumpkin booties.

Yep, pumpkin two years in a row. So, this year, I decided no more pumpkin. I wanted something a little different.

Shalom. This Halloween my elder will turn forty-one and I decided it's about time she would get a halloweenish birthday-present, so I'm making her this bag, which works out great; thank you for the idea and the good-clear instructions. Tami

I was wondering if I could get some help with this pattern? Where it is joined, it is leaving a pretty good sized gap, is this just part of it or am I messing up? If I can get this figured out I will be making these for my children for halloween!

@Mercedes, I was having the same issue so instead of chaining 3 I am doing a chain of 2 and it looks better to me.- This pattern is so adorable I am making some for my grand children

Hi Mercedes,
You should not have a large gap at the join. Can you send a picture of the project, particularly the join area to my email at itchinforsomestitchin@gmail.com so I can help you figure out where things went amiss?
Thanks,
RaeLynn
