This is a beginner level pattern that contains written instructions and some photo guides for making your sweater. The process of making a sweater bag consists of making several pieces and sewing them together. This makes a small drawstring bag that looks like a sweater with a front pocket and either a simple collar or a hood. The sleeves can be attached to the bag or sewn together to serve as handles for carrying. It is a cute, customizable, and portable bag that provides a unique and quirky way to store items. The bag created is approximately 4 inches tall (about 6 inches with a hood) and 12 inches around, though it is flexible and, depending on the type of yarn used, can stretch one or two inches more. The front pocket is less stretchy and can be used to hold smaller items like an eraser or measuring tape.

Written with US standard crochet terms and abbreviations. Requires familiarity with basic crochet stitches (the single crochet stitch, sc increases, and sc decreases) and sewing crochet pieces together.
