Welcome to October! It’s officially time to bust out all the pumpkins, spiders, monsters, and ghosts! It’s Halloween Time, friends! I’m really excited to kick off Halloween season here on the blog with this cute little crochet bag with you all today!

This fun project is my latest free crochet pattern, and it’s inspired by one of my favorite emojis, which just happens to be perfect for Halloween. 👻Isn’t it cute??

It’s a pretty simple pattern, but I really like how it turned out. And so did my daughter who is fairly emoji obsessed, and she quickly snagged it for herself. I designed it to be a good Trick or Treat bag size (the finished bag is about 8.5 inches wide and 7 inches tall not including the handle), but it can totally work as a fun everyday tote bag too.

Cute Ghost Emoji Crochet Bag

I chose to use a simple cotton worsted weight yarn for this bag because it’s inexpensive and sturdy. The bag works up fairly quickly, so you have plenty of time to make one before Halloween! Here’s everything you will need to make your own:

Cute Ghost Bag Supplies:

  • No. 4 Worsted Weight Cotton Yarn (I used 2 balls of white, and 1 each of black and tea rose, but any white, black, and pink should work)
  • Size I (5.50 mm) Crochet Hook
  • Scissors
  • Yarn Needle

Cute Ghost Bag Crochet Pattern

Please Note: This pattern uses American crochet terms and is free for personal use only. Thank you! 

Finished bag is about 8.5 inches wide and 7 inches tall (not including handle).

Stitches Used:

  • Chain (ch)
  • Slip Stitch (sl st)
  • Single Crochet (sc)
  • Half Double Crochet (hdc)

Special Stitches Used: 

Single Crochet Two Together (sc2tog) – Insert hook into next stitch and draw up loop, insert hook into next stitch after that and draw up another loop (3 loops on hook), yarn over and draw loop through all three hooks. Sc2tog formed.

Single Crochet Spike Stitch (sc spike): The single crochet spike stitch is basically just an elongated single crochet that is worked into a lower row instead of the previous row. For this pattern, insert your hook into the stitch 2 rounds below the current working round, draw up a loop and pull the yarn up to the height of the working yarn. Yarn over, and pull the yarn through both loops to finish the sc spike.

Note: The body of the bag, face pieces, and handle are all crocheted separately and then sewn together. You will find all of the piece patterns below followed by assembly instructions.

This will just give the handle a nice finished edge. Finish off and weave in ends.

Cute Ghost Bag Assembly

With all of the pieces crocheted, it’s time to put our cute ghost bag together! Start off by pinning the eyes, mouth, and tongue in place on the front of the bag body. Make sure the pieces are placed where you want them before you begin sewing.

Next, use the long tails left on each piece and your yarn needle to sew the pieces directly onto the bag. Sewing the pieces on with the same yarn used to crochet them helps to hide your stitches on the front side of the bag.

When the ghost’s face is sewn in place, the last step is to attach the handle piece. Use a length of white yarn to securely fasten each end of the handle to either side of the top of the bag (see image below).

Trick or Treat bags are some of my favorite things to crochet for Halloween. I love the cute candy corn trick or treat bag I made a few years ago, but I think I might like this little ghost even more. What do you think?
