#2 Summer Chic Bag Free Pattern

If you need to carry more than just your yoga mat, this free pattern may be just what you’re looking for. The large bag has an inside hanging pocket so you can keep everything in the right place. The handles extend to create a sling for your yoga mat, so that it sits just below the bag. This free yoga mat bag pattern has many extras, including an outer pocket and a pocket near the top for tucking in the laces. The tutorial shows you how to make the bag a solid color or multiple colors to give it a messier look.

Complement your look with this trendy crochet drawstring bag. The pattern is designed in Patons Hempster, a hemp and cotton blend yarn that is perfect for summer projects. Work your bag bottom up in single crochets, in the round, increasing to form a circular base. From there, simple crochet creates a tight fabric to keep the contents secure. Finally, sew small rows of mesh with a fun double crochet cross stitch to get a glimpse of what’s inside. The crochet cord straps are knotted to complete this bag with a casual and nautical look.
