Crochet Bag Pattern
A few months ago, I came up with this cute, crochet WIP bag pattern for my Plenty crochet work in progress (WIP) that I need to carry along while leaving the house.
It has been a lifesaver since then. I added a twist, to allow me to have my yarn come out from the bag while my yarn is still inside the bag! I think this is genius of me, what do you think?
The picture below shows the little opening by the sides, where I have my yarn easily accessible without my skeins/balls getting out of the bag.

Difficulty – Easy
Pattern notes:
- Chains at the beginning of the row counts as a stitch
- Both sides are worked in BLO, while the body of the bag is made using FLO and BLO.
- Pattern construction – starts with a side in rounds, the body is then worked by turning after each row, finally the other side is made.
- Do not join after the rounds/rows, except where stated. Simply move the stitch marker at the end of each rounds
- Handle can be made as instructed using yarn or sew in a pre-made handle
