Vagabond Tote – Scrap Yarn Bag

Have a pile of yarn scraps you can’t bear to throw away? Vagabond Tote was designed to put those leftovers to good use!

The bag features a simple filet mesh base and is worked using your choice of scrap yarns. Because your yarn selection is entirely up to you, every bag can be completely unique.

Pattern Includes
Written instructions in UK and US terminology
11 pages with photographs throughout
Instructions for a simple crochet strap
Information and a source for the macramé strap shown in my sample

Please note: The pattern does not include instructions for making the macramé strap. A source for the method I used is provided, along with the amount of macramé cotton used for my sample. Requirements will vary depending on knotting technique, firmness and strap length.

Yarn & Hook

Use your favourite yarn scraps — there is no specific yarn requirement.

I used several hooks for parts of the tote
5.5 mm (I)

6.5 mm (K)

4.5 mm

Gauge is not particularly relevant for this project, as both gauge and finished size will vary depending on the yarn scraps you choose.

This is an easy project, but a basic understanding of crochet and the ability to follow written instructions is required.

Gather up those scraps and give them a new life with the Vagabond Tote!
