Make this fun treat bag for your kiddos to go trick-or-treating with year after year or make a fun gift for the Halloween loving person in your life. The open squares in this filet pattern create a cute Jack-O-Lantern face. It gives you a peak inside the bag without risking small things falling out the bottom. If you have the know-how, you could line your bag on the inside for added security and a totally different look. (Lining instructions not included.)

I used beautiful sparkle cotton yarn from Louisa Harding called Mila. It is a thinner #4 weight. My bag measures about 11” x 11”. If your yarn is thicker than mine, you will use more yardage than I did and your bag will be bigger.

Skill: Intermediate

Gauge: 15 st and 8 rows in a 4” square (double crochet)

Supplies:
