Let me introduce you to a monster with a sweet side. This crochet candy pouch by Sarah Zimmerman features an adorable design of Frankenstein. If you’d like to make a charming Halloween companion for your little one, this kinda spooky bag is perfect for parties, trick-or-treating, and gifting. That being said, it’s a must-have for seasonal celebrations!
Can Beginners Crochet this Frankenstein Pouch?
With clear and easy-to-follow instructions, this pattern is suitable for both experienced and beginner crocheters. It’s an easy bag project that will also allow those just starting out to learn something new.
The pouch is worked in rounds using single crochet, double crochet, and spike stitches. You will also make a decrease here and there to shape all the elements.
Best Yarn Choices for Durability
The Frankenstein Candy Pouch Pattern calls for aran-weight yarn, like Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice. It’s a 100% acrylic yarn that is not only super soft to the touch but also very durable. Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn! Solids is another great option to consider. Pair these yarns with a 4 mm crochet hook.
Adding Personality with Facial Features
This project allows you to create a charming pouch that resembles the iconic Frankenstein monster. Moreover, personalizing its look is all fun!
The original project, designed by Sarah, features it with a friendly smile, but feel free to play around with Frankenstein’s facial expressions. Create an angry monster face for a scary effect or go for a funny smirk look.
Can I Make This Candy Pouch Bigger?
The finished dimensions of the Frankstein pouch may differ depending on the materials you use. The thicker the yarn and the bigger the hook, the larger your bag will be. To increase its size, you can also add extra rounds to the base before shaping the sides.
