The pumpkin treat pouch is made with orange worsted weight yarn and finished with a jute twine stem and section details, giving it a rustic feel. Of course the finishing touches could be green yarn to give it a more traditional Halloween vibe.
It is worked up with simple single crochet stitches, making it easy enough for a beginner level crocheter, but they are still fun enough for an advanced crocheter to enjoy!

What materials do I need?
To make the pumpkin treat pouch you will need orange worsted weight yarn in any fiber, a G/6/4.00mm crochet hook, and jute twine. Of course these materials can be adjusted: green yarn instead of jute, thinner and smaller hook to make them smaller, or thicker yarn with a larger hook to make them trick o’ treat size or even turn them into a pillow!
