This Crochet Along (CAL) is sponsored by my awesome friends at Lion Brand. I am so honored Lion Brand chose to sponsor this Crochet Along in order for me to create this cool Modular Pocket Bag.
The Modular Pocket Bag was made using Lion Brand Jeans yarn and is perfect for anyone, even beginners. It is made only with single crochets and then sewn all together. If you have never made anything with Lion Brand Jeans yarn before, you should. It is so soft and easy to work with and really amazing.
This Crochet Along will have 4 parts. I will also provide you with 1.5 weeks to get all your supplies which I believe should be plenty of time. Lion Brand ships very fast, and so does Amazon.
