Pocket bags

[Fanihi]

These are mesh bags that fold up into a little 5" or 4" size when not in use. I very loosely followed a pattern out of Terrific Totes and Carryalls. That pattern was for the flower bag. I decided to change it, so my husband would be willing to carry it too. The bag is large enough to hold a crib sized blanket or really big beach towel folded up.

 

The decorative small bag is made out of embroidery thread(floss?)---I just had some on hand. Each side of the little bag takes approx. 3-4 skeins of regular embroidery floss. The inner mesh bag is #10 cotton thread.

 

I thought these made great alternatives to the plain eco-friendly bags people use for grocery shopping.

Is the book "Terrific Totes and Carryalls' a book for people who sew? Is this pattern in crochet in that book? I think your adaptation is really wonderful.

Yes, it is a book for sewing various bags. There are two patterns for crochet bags. One is the foldable one that I made and the other is more of a backpack mesh type bag. I just like making bags--sewing, crocheting,...--it doesn't matter.

These are all wonderful and so pretty. I never thought about crocheting with embroidery floss, but of course that is just another type of thread, so I see it worked out beautifully. Great job.

I have a really old booklet called "QuickTricks" by Coats & Clark #188. It has a mesh bag that is very plain, not colorful or beautiful as yours...this booklet is soooooo old that the last pattern in it is to knit Leper Bandages Yes that's right I said Leper bandages....... I have no idea where the book came from but at least I can make the mesh bag if nothing else out of it!

[kusine]

Very nice! And I like the eco-friendliness of it. Great job!

LOL I have that same pattern book that I got for a quarter at a thrift store! I have been debating whether or not to crochet that same bag you are talking about but putting my own touch to it. My dh knitted the dishcloth from the pattern in the book before he got too ill. I do like the ones that you made Fanihi!
