Ok, it was officially a bad idea to wait till the last minute to make valentine’s for my son’s Valentine’s Day party. Somebody please remind me to plan ahead for next year! But I think these cute little crochet candy bags were worth the work this weekend. I just love how they turned out! And I hope the kids like them too 🙂 They are filled with Hershey Kisses but after the candy is eaten, they can use them to store all their little treasures. My son counted out 10 kisses for each bag and filled each one himself. I think he is getting excited to hand them out!
I followed Creative Jewish Mom’s gelt bag pattern with a couple little tweaks. To make the bottom wider, I started with one round of dc’s and the next round of hdc’s. Then made the bag shorter by doing a continuous sc’s from rows 5-12 (instead of 16 rows). I chained 60 for the tie and used red heart buttons for a nice finish on the ends. The tags were made by first printing out the message (with each child’s name) on card stock and then cutting it with my Cricut. I actually think this would work better if you had a circle punch since it is hard to line up the printed words with the Cricut cutter.
These could be made in many different colors for many different occasions. I am already thinking about halloween party candy bags!
Happy Valentine’s Day! XOXO

Thanks Kaysi! I really love what you have done to update your blog! The new design is fabulous!
Very cute! I think you could make them up in green and put gold-wrapped chocolate coins in them for St. Patrick's Day, too!
OMG you are soooo right!! I am totally going to make some St. Paddy's Day themed bags!
I love them! I'm not very good at crocheting, but my aunt is fabulous! I am hosting my first link party today, and would love for you to link this up, along with anything else you like!

Hi all,
Can some one help me out I am new here, I would like to know were to find the pattern for the candy bags? I am also kind of curious as to what a link party is. Thanks and God Bless.
Sincerely,
Kate
I too am wondering about what a link party is. Also. I was wondering if after starting the double crochets (round 1) and then 1/2 hdc (round 2), if rounds 3 and 4 are done as per pattern? Thanks, Joelle
I’m also wondering the same about rounds 3 and 4, did you ever get a response to this?
love ur patterns im going to make these my my little girls class, she is handicapped and theres only like 8 in her class this is perfect for them
Did you use two strands and a k hook as well, I'd love to recreate closer to what you did, my daughter's class is have a friendship valentine's day party, thanks for your help!!
I will do color changes for Halloween, Christmas, & Easter!!!
Thank you!!!

I bookmarked it.
