Makers Convertible Basket Bag

"The Makers Convertible Basket Bag Pattern is a free crochet pattern designed to help you keep your projects organized at home or on the go. This versatile design works as both a small basket to hold your yarn and supplies, and a project bag you can easily carry with you. I created this pattern because I needed a practical and sturdy way to keep my crochet projects tidy during busy days. With two teenagers involved in school and activities, I spend a lot of time waiting at practices and events. I wanted something better than a simple reusable shopping bag—something made just for crochet. The Makers Convertible Basket Bag uses Medium Worsted Weight Yarn and a 5.5 mm crochet hook. It’s a simple project with easy stitches, and I’ve added an optional insert: a canvas inner bag with pockets and a drawstring closure. This extra support keeps everything secure and organized, and it prevents small tools like scissors and stitch markers from getting lost or poking through the fabric. The bag is strong, lightweight, and easy to carry. It's perfect for crocheting while you’re out and about or for keeping your current projects neatly stored at home. The drawstring closure also helps keep everything clean and protected when you’re traveling. You’ll find the full free crochet pattern, plus a list of the extra supplies needed, available in the post. I hope you enjoy making and using your Makers Convertible Basket Bag as much as I do!"
