Using yarn tail and needle, sew the veins onto one side of the bag. These can be placed anywhere,
preferably from row 9 inwards.
Use small chains to add to the longer chains. Get creative!

You are more than welcome to customise this anyway you like. For example, crocheting a full white circle for the back of the eye with 'veins' on.
You are now finished your Eyeball Halloween Trick or Treat bag!
I hope you enjoyed making it as much as I did!
