Free Pattern: Frank and Bride Cloths

I needed a couple of Halloween gifts at the last minute so I whipped up these super easy Frank and Bride Cloths. They could also be as treat bags or used as pockets on a bag. I hope you will enjoy making them.

Materials and Details

  • Yarn: Frank – 100 yards Red Heart Scrubby Smoothie Lime, 40 yards Red Heart Scrubby Grape; Bride – 100 yards Red Heart Scrubby Smoothie Lavender, 40 yards Red Heart Scrubby Marble; small amounts of white, turquoise and orange yarn. RHSS yarn was used for the nose and eyes in the samples.
  • Crochet Hook: H Hook (5mm)
  • Notions: 2 small black buttons per cloth for eyes, sewing needle, black thread, yarn needle.
  • Gauge: Not needed for this project.
  • Measurement: 7.5 ” square

Note: I made the bride a little longer than Frank to show off her hair. These two could be sewn together to make a treat bag. If so, you will want to add 2 rows to the body section of Frank, making them the same length.
