Get in the Halloween spirit with this cute and colorful Nightmare Before Christmas inspired crochet bag. This is an easy level crochet pattern that only uses basic crochet stitches - single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet and treble crochet.

This crochet pattern has been tech edited and tested by multiple crocheters. I’ve also included helpful diagrams and tips to make your crochet bag project a success! There are even instructions for adding a fabric lining if you’d like.

This is a great project for stash busting and it can be adapted for use with a wide variety of yarns. For my original bag I used:
~Caron Simply Soft Party Yarn weight 4, medium, in Fuschia
~Caron Simply Soft weight 4, medium, in Black
~Loops & Threads Eco-Brights weight 4, medium, in Yellow
~Patons Glam Stripes weight 3, light, in Teal (held double)

Originally designed by Nine Inspired, this design found a new home with Littlejohn’s Yarn in 2025.
