Bring Your Own Bag

July 8, 2016 By: Tamara Kelly15 Comments

A good friend, a cold drink, and a cozy chair – all ingredients for a good time! And if your friends are like my friends, the usual invitation includes a note to BYOB – so I created the Bring Your Own Bag so you can show up in style!

BYOB: Bring Your Own Bag! Crochet one up and bring your own brews to your next get together - FREE crochet pattern on Mooglyblog.com!Disclaimer: This post includes affiliate links.

The Bring Your Own Bag fits cans and bottles of almost every shape and size – well, individual serving sizes anyway! You can fill it up with local brews or kids drinks or whatever you like… and keep everyone hydrated and happy!

There is a little bit of Tunisian in this pattern – and I’ve linked a tutorial for it below. But if you would prefer to skip the Tunisian crochet, use standard sc sts instead, or swap out Color B with a length of cloth ribbon!

Row 2 – 26: Ch 1, sc across; turn. (15 sts)

PART 2 INSTRUCTIONS – COLOR A (Bottom with Dividers)

2. Working from the RS, work a line of sc along the center lengthwise. Then work 2 rows of sc across, sectioning the piece in thirds. (See photo below.)

PART 3 INSTRUCTIONS – COLOR B (Strap) – This is made using Tunisian Simple Stitch, see linked tutorial above

Repeat Row 2 until strap measures 64″ long. Finish off and sew ends of strap together without twisting. Mark the join point and the halfway point.

BAG SIDES INSTRUCTIONS – COLOR A

Round 1: With Color A, join with a sc to any st of Part 2 Edging, sc in each st around; join. (86 sts)

Round 2 – 20: Ch 1, sc in each st around; join. (86 sts) (NOTE: Keep dividers on the inside, and straps on the outside, as you create the sides of the bag! It helps to secure all the long tails out of the way while you work.) After Round 20, break yarn and finish off.

FINAL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Using the long tails left when making the dividers, sew the dividers to the Bag Sides to create the “6 pack.”

2. Using Color A, sew the straps straight up the sides of the bag using the running stitch as shown, continuing the stitch along the handle and down the other side. Repeat on other side of handle, and then on strap on other side of bag. (NOTE: This step sews the handles to the bag, and also creates more stability/less stretch in the handles themselves.)

And that’s it! Don’t let the construction of this pattern overwhelm you – it’s almost all single crochet, and if you go step by step you can do it! Then you can fill up the Bring Your Own Bag with your beverage of choice and head out to celebrate a new crochet project! I can’t wait to see how you all put your own custom spin on it!

    That is so cute! I even like the idea of having the dividers (at least some) in a purse. Great Job!

      Hello Gilliananne! It sounds like you do have an incomplete copy of the pattern. Part 1 should read:

      Row 1: Ch 16, skip the ch closest to the hook, sc in each remaining ch to end; turn. (15 sts)

      Row 2 – 26: Ch 1, sc across; turn. (15 sts)

      Edging: Ch 1, sc all the way around the rectangle, working extra sts in each corner, for 86 sts total; join and break. (86 sts) Set aside.

      It is in the edging that you start working in the round, going all around the base rectangle made in Rows 1-26.

    This would make a perfect project bag for a multicoloured project – one skein in each section. The sides could be made a bit higher to allow space for the wip on top.

    I saw a post in a blog or on Facebook, someone using a wine bag for WIP’s. Kept the yarn upright and easy to get to and you can use one section to hold supplies. This bag would be great for that. It would be easy to make it a little bigger and add a lid, if wanted.
    Thanks for the pattern.
