Bag Patterns

Kids' Pumpkin Trick-or-Treat Basket

A kid-sized round candy basket with a jack-o'-lantern face worked in two-color single crochet. The wall is charted flat and seamed into a tube, a flat base closes the bottom, and one charcoal strap arches over the wide mouth. About 14 cm across and 12 cm tall in worsted weight — sized for small hands on a candy run.
