Slouchy Soap Saver Bag Pattern

by Elizabeth Mareno 

This pattern makes a GREAT stash-busting scrap-user-upper. If you have about an ounce of yarn, you have enough to make a soap saver bag! These make great gifts for both men and women, plus these are great for selling at craft fairs, especially if you can get yourself next to the handmade soap booth!  

Materials:

1 oz #4 worsted weight cotton (Used Hobby Lobby "I Love This Cotton")

#7/4.5mm hook

Large Eye needle for sewing ends.

Calypso Crab Beach Bag Pattern

© 2018 Bizzy Crochet Designs

The Calypso Crab Beach Bag was designed in honor of everyone's favorite crab character from Disney's The Little Mermaid, Sebastian. You can use any sort of yarn you would like to create the size bag you need. There are supply lists for worsted weight, DK weight, and 2 strands of fingering weight held together. 

This pattern is perfect for using up scraps and creating your own one-of-a-kind masterpiece. I hope you enjoy creating your own Calypso Crab Beach Bag!

You will need:

Materials:
White Bag: DK weight- 60g Main Color, 10g each Contrast Color if you are planning to use 4. Scraps are perfect if you are planning to use a lot of colors in the moss stitch top and bottom. 
F hook

Rainbow Bag: Worsted weight- 4 oz Main Color, 50-100g Contrast Color if you are making one like the rainbow bag.
H hook

Blue/Green Bag: Two Strands Fingering Weight held at the same time- 50g each ball Main Color, 25-40g each Contrast Color depending on how many times you repeat your colors.
G hook

Notes from Theresa:

OPTIONAL LINING Materials:
You can use remnant or scrap fabric – recommend cotton or cotton blend.  For the bag made with worsted yarn, I picked up a remnant from WalMart measuring ¾ yard of 44/45 inch wide material for 1.48  and this was more than enough to line my bag. Wash, dry, and iron your lining material prior to cutting and attaching it to your bag. Thread, sewing pins, tape measure, and hand sewing needle (or sewing machine).
