Halloween Decorations--Crochet Frankenstein Goody Bag

Goody bags can do double duty as party decor. This Frankenstein bag that has a protruding forehead and drooping eyelids is a good example.

Halloween was one my favorite holidays as a kid because of the costumes, the monster movies, the parties, and of course the candy. This crochet Frankenstein projects combines many of the elements that made this holiday a fond childhood memory.  Whether you choose to use Frankie as a goody bag or holiday decoration, he was designed to last like the happy childhood memories he sure to be a part of. The design process included choosing Lion Brand’s 24/7 Cotton yarn which is a worsted-weight, mercerized 100% natural fiber yarn. The mercerization process gives the yarn incredible color and sheen which will last through multiple wash cycles. The three dimension effect of his forehead and eyes comes from stuffing with Poly-fil.

 The pattern for this project can be found in the Fall 2016 issue of Craft Ideas.
