Gauge is not critical for this project but tension should be tight. RED HEART Reflective, Art. E820 available in solid color 3.5 oz (100 g), 88 yd (80 m) balls With camera flash Creepy Eyes Bag This crocheted bag features frightening eyes for spooky trick or treating fun. A camera flash will light up the yarn for an amazing glowing look! Tote measures 10 wide x 12 high (25.5 x 30.5 cm), not including handles. Special Technique Adjustable-ring method: Wrap yarn into a ring, ensuring that the tail falls behind the working yarn. Grip ring and tail firmly between middle finger and thumb. Insert hook through center of ring, yarn over (with working yarn) and draw up a loop. Work stitches of first round in the ring, working over both strands (the tail and the ring). After the first round of stitches is worked, pull gently, but firmly, on tail to tighten ring. Notes 1. Bag is worked in rounds with right side facing at all times. Not all rounds are joined or start with a beginning chain so follow instructions carefully. Place marker for beginning of round and move marker up as each round is completed. 2. Eye appliques are made separately and sewn to front of bag. Buttons are sewn to eyes with sewing needle and thread. Warning: Buttons can be a choking hazard for young children. Omit buttons from bag if intended for use by a child under 3 years old. 3. To change color, work last stitch of old color to last yarn over. Yarn over with new color and draw through all loops on hook to complete stitch. Proceed with new color. Carry color not in use up wrong side of piece until needed next. Do not cut old color unless instructed. 4. Make a larger or smaller bag by increasing or decreasing beginning chains and changing the number of rows. A larger bag may require additional yarn.
