How to Crochet a Halloween Crossbody Bag: The Steps
- Crochet the ghosts and pumpkins first, so you can test where they look best.
- Crochet the striped bag body, changing colors neatly at the end of each stripe.
- Arrange and sew on the appliques firmly, so they last.
- Add the crossbody strap and weave in all your ends.
- Line it (optional) for a neater inside. See how to line a crochet bag.
Tips for a Striped Bag With Appliques
- Carry or cut? For thin stripes, carry the unused color up the side to save weaving in ends.
- Use the same yarn weight for every color, so the stripes stay straight. See the best yarn for crochet bags.
- Pin before you sew. Move the ghosts and pumpkins around until you love the layout.
- Make the strap the right length by trying it across your body before you attach it.
